You Can’t Quote Leviticus to Prove God Hates Homosexuality

The standard Biblical case against homosexuality is not as air-tight as many people seem to think. People bring up many points routinely, and it’s amazing how the attacks don’t hold up–if you look at their Biblical “evidence” carefully.
In this post we will be looking at two verses in Leviticus used as Clobber Passages, proof texts used to condemn gays and lesbians.
We Are No Longer Under the Law
The apostle Paul taught that we are no longer under the Law. Period.
The verses are Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. First, Thou shalt not lie with a man, as with a woman: it is abomination. Second, If a man lie with a man, 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.
There is, however, a big problem with quoting Leviticus. The problem is that Christians are no longer under the Law. We do not live our Christian life by following the Old Testament Law. The Apostle Paul makes this abundantly clear. It is not something fabricated to win an argument, or made up in the twentieth century, or manufactured to get around something somebody doesn’t like. It is clearly stated in the Greek scriptures. The Apostle Paul wrote it in Galatians:
--
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” (Galatians 3:10)

if interested, fly .. https://biblethumpingliberal.com/2011/05/19/you-can%E2%80%99t-quote-leviticus-to-prove-god-hates-homosexuality/
.. so there you go .. real Christians know (or i get the idea should know as i hope i got right from just a glance at a little bit more) they are no longer living under the Law, so no longer cursed, as they live instead under the spirit .. so carrying on as freak-show Pastor Steven Anderson (1st in yours) is just plain playing like a dodo .. how do i know? .. easy as, Bible-Thumping Liberal tells us that Paul told us so ..
Aside: i wonder if God ever had qualms about making dodo birds so they couldn't fly .. actually sorta fits that Pastor guy doesn't it .. Ain't That A Kick In The Head - Dean Martin ..
h/t The Blacklist Season 3: Ep. 1 Pilot
.. 'cept the Pastor guy doesn't even feel to even really have his feet on firm ground either, as dodo birds guessing generally do .. :)
too late i felt perhaps that had been posted before .. just time now to sneak this in ..

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
