This Article made me cringe

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

Maybe it's just because I'm Gay, but this article is disgusting to me. I'm so glad not all Christians are this way, but... How is this article even legal?

Read this Article that uses the Bible to Support killing GaysRead some of the comments too. I'm just... flabbergasted.

[Aru Akise 2,540]

These people fail so much.

 

"Should I kill gay people? Does the bible support killing gays?"

 

Isn't one of the 10 commandments: You shall not kill?

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

I love how there's a link in the 'study' redirecting you to an explanation on how the Bible supports gay marriage.

Shard, don't listen to those idiots. They are just hypocritical cherry pickers that will use the Bible to support the bad things that they do while they'll just disobey every other law in the Bible. These people aren't even Christians; they're just idiots. I wouldn't be surprised if this article is just a troll to get people to hate Christianity or just to piss people off in general.

Just please don't listen to these people. These are the kinds of people that just should go and jump in a ditch. Me, I guess you can say I'm a Christian. But I certainly don't believe in any of the bullshit that this article is spewing. These idiots don't seem to remember that the Bible was written by HUMAN beings about fifteen hundred years ago. We are in the 21st century.

 Exactly. Christians are also suppose to follow 'thou shall not judge" bc only God can judge  and "thou shall not kill"..Both people who are or aren't even christian like to twist things in the bible to serve their purpose. Most true christians don't think like this and would never say or do such things.

I be gayin', they be hatin'.

If it wasn't for the New Testament, this religion would be long forgotten. The Old Testament makes this religion looks way too vile and savage. 

 

In the OT the only way to survive was to fear God and obey his every command.

[HeyMouseSayCheese 1,133]

Yeah, this kind of stuff is the downside of free speech. Everyone gets to express their own opinions, even horribly ignorant worthless opinions.

Well, that and be a Hebrew. If for some reason you didn't happen to be a Hebrew, well, you were just firetrucked.

[AnHeiressofaSOLDIER 358]

Oy. It's amazing to me how people can take what Jesus said--about loving and helping everyone, about how the meek shall inherit the Earth, and how you need to show kindness even unto your enemies: you know all the amazing, inspiring things He uphold--and turn it into this!

I, myself, am Christian. But I dare say that the person who wrote this article most likely isn't. And if they are, they're completely ignorant and really need to rethink some things.

 

Here's the thing that some people don't seem to get (and I can say this all with one-hundred percent clarity, as I'm reading through the Bible right now). The Old Testament was the time of the Law: and things were very, very strict back then. 

 

If someone killed your family, for instance, you were allowed to go out and kill them in revenge (though only the accused, and no one connected to them, like their innocent family: it was very much an eye for an eye). You also had to make sacrifices of animals to cover the wages of your sin.

 

BUT then the new testament came along--Jesus came along, and praise God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that He did--and HE paid the way for our sins with his Crucifixion, so now we don't have to do stuff like that anymore. One shouldn't even think it!

 

We just have to believe in Him, and everything else is covered, and we need not live in such a barbaric way because ALL is forgiven if you believe on Him.

 

It's the Age of Grace that we live in now--Jesus' Grace--and things like this are completely wasting the sacrifice He made for us, and misconstruing everything. Ugh.

 

Another example is how in the Old Testament, an adulterer would have been stoned to death, but in the NEW Testament Jesus said "Ye without sin cast the first stone," and He allowed her to go free--telling her to sin no more, as He did so.

 

It's the Age of Grace--the age of the New Testament--that we live in now, and such old behavior should not be looked at at all.

 

People like this really need to get with it.

I'm a Christian and I for one would NEVER kill anyone or judge people. As of matter of fact I have a couple of friends who are gay, lesbian, and bisexual and I never told them what they should be or not because It's none of my business. It's their life and they should do what they want to do with their life and I will have their backs no matter what, and my mother told always told me that even though we're Christians we should always keep our beliefs to ourselves because they are many people out there who would not agree with our beliefs.

That's what I say as well. I too am a Christian and I have a friend that is gay, and I told her despite she's that, she is still my friend. 

If that's what makes them happy, then fine. I'll just leave them alone and let them live their lives, they way they want to live it. In the end, it's their lives not mine.

I just wish people will just not care about what others do. If someone is gay it's none or your business. It's annoying how everyone wants to put their two cents into another person's life and make it a living hell.Actually, there's a person I know who I could say is a pretty hardcore Christian and she just got engaged last week to her fiancé. And guess what? That fiancé is also a female

I agree totally. People should just mind their own business and not worry about dictating others lives as long as they aren't harming anyone.

Exactly! As long as they're happy than we should leave it alone because it's their lives and not ours. And if they are people who are not willing to accept it than they should mind their own business.

Just goes to show how well it works to confirm something written in a book that needs to be interpreted by referencing itself. Seriously, these people really make me feel worried for humanity.

The more I read this site, the more I begin to think it as Satire."Does the Bible want me to be a prostitute?""The Bible Supports Bestiality.""Does God want me to commit suicide?""Women are Inferior to Men.""According to the Bible, Should I Buy a Slave?"

[Alicia Maddox 2,141]

All right. THIS is the kind of shit that gives true Christians a bad name! This is why so many people who don't actually take the time to read the Bible and see what it says for themselves think all Christians are self-righteous bigots! I can't tell you how many people I've met in college who have been turned off by the Christian faith because they have been unfortunate enough to run into zealots like that. This kind of thing just infuriates me to no end! I grew up reading the Bible, I study it, and nowhere, NOWHERE is there ever ANYTHING at all that says we should murder homosexuals! God does not command us kill! He commands us to LOVE each other. Christ himself said that love was one of the greatest commandments. How are we supposed to love, if we are to kill those we are commanded to love! Ok, sorry for the hate rant. I'm done, I'm calm now.

[Jake 1,488]

Killing in this world will always be a sin in my head and that will never change. Every human, animal, or any other living being has every right to live and the idea of killing just disgusts me. Killing done intentionally will always be despised at for me. This article makes me so mad inside its not even funny. If you think killing is okay, then I don't know what to think of you nor will I ever think of you as a good hearted person. Look man, I am sorry you had to witness such a stupid, disturbing, and just plain dumbfiretrucked article and that people like this who even consider killing another living being shouldn't be thought of as a hearted person at all. This is the internet after all, which is full of bullshit like this filled with people who like to fulfill the amount of bullshit on the internet. Don't worry, it's just stupid people and try your best to ignore it.  :sleep:

I'm not Christian, therefore I have no right to say anything. Good day.
