Child Molestation is a Sin!what right does anybody have to call it a sinHello Amadaeus What I am trying to work out are the strange anomalies where people claim that the present day interperetation of Gd's law gives goodness and joy, and yet as this issue clearly illustrates, this seems not to be the case. The modern interperetation of the law (I Stress interperetation) seems to take to things like calling gay people "Abominations" Jshua did not sanction that, nor did the original text. Actually the remark In Leviticus, (I will use the KJB here as most are comfortable with it) refers to a specific act and the act being an "abomination". Followed of course by instant death, Somthing that Jshua adressed if people failed to notice. "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them." Now along came Jshua and took the death bit out of it. Jshua died all the prescribed deaths for the sin described in the law. Now the modern interperetation of the law confuses me. not only does it add yet more punitive fury, The people not the specified act are described as the "Abomination". Also the specified act has mutated into a "lyfestyle". Aparrently, a man not looking like some beefed up steoid monster who is not hyper hetero is an "Abomination" according to some, As I often read is a woman who is not some infantile baby factory with pure genes, if she is not some Stepford wife, she is an "abomination". Back to the original I can think of about 6 references to a homosexual act, of which 4 are unclear. And the remaining two some argue are in connection with temple prostitutes. That is open to debate, I have just quoted the KJV translation. (In fact the original is more vague). There are however references to adultery (Actually commentary on that is far more common) And most interesting of all passing judgement on people. Such as describing them as "Abominations" is so often mentioned and seems to be the central them of Jshua's message, Jshua hates judgementalism. So it puzzles me enourmously that today you look an any christian website and there can be up to 80% of it devoted to "Gay Lifestyles" If we took the same line on adultery then a fair few big time Televangelists would be up for a stoning, as they probably would over greed. I think some professing christians should not be asked "What right do they have to call homosexuality a sin" more something like "What right do they have to be walking with enough planks in thier eyes to have been responsible for the deforestation of 2000 square miles" This is where the church has gone badly wrong, all into fatalism and judgementalism, And it seldom seems to me that the compassion of the son of Gd offering himself up to be punished for every sin we ever commited, in order to save our sorry skins. is stated in more than one insincere sentance to placate the critics. Jshua's death and ressurrection is the central theme of this message, not bashing people for having "Gay lifestyles". Or not indulging in some Lebensborn style breeding project, that passes itself off badly for "Family values". Regardless of wether people consider being gay as being a sin, it does not get anything like the coverage of a fair few other things I can mention, in the bible. And certainly not the prominence you find in "christian websites" Calling people "Abominations" is judgementalism and that is covered more in the Bible, a lot more. Resorting to idealisations of the "punishments" (I have seen more extreme website describing in graphic detail what they would do to gay people) is mocking Gd, Mocking the fact that Jshua took those punishments, for every person that ever lived. And failing to mention (As one televangelist did recently) that while saying they would "Kill Gays" that not far from the relevant passage in leviticus there are comments about adultery, (20:10 as it happens), Also seems to conclude with "DEATH". Odd how it is OK for Gd (In the Televangelists eyes) to forgive the televangelist in question for adultery but not some gay person he decides to hate. I think the modern interperetation of Leviticus is very warped and selective, I think that it is evident that some miss the punishments being meeted out. That is an insult to the sacrifice Jshua made. and I will say that Gd will not be mocked. Having come on to this website, I have to admit some of the commetaries have left me feeling deeply unsettled. Do they really need to justify opposing abortion by showing photos of aborted foetuses and some commenting on how that now rejected life will burn in hell? I find that quite sickening as it happens. I am from a Hebrew Sicari/Netzarim tradition and I am upset by some of the extremism expressed here???? Believe me that says something quite unnerving. I really think the church has got to get back to reading the law, and knowing the law, as in the forfillment of the law called Jshua, Yeshua or Jesus. And what the law really means today. Jshua is the founder of your church as he is the founder of mine. I will quote Jshua They who have no sin may cast the first stone! That rules all of us out for lynching others. And what most frightens me is has been some posters portraying Gd as a capricious fatalistic psychopath, and then calling this concept of a now mocked Gd "Just". Gd Is just and mocking Gd in order to judge others is something Gd despises. Gd Is Gd, not a golden calf shaped hellenic idol that is mad. Gd's name means "I am who I am". not "I am a golden calf with BSE" Shalom Sophie. |
