BearfruitIt's all [NOT] good
Posted October 5th, 2005 by matt
It’s all [NOT] good: It’s worse to murder than to lie, right? Wrong. Romans 1:18-32 clearly says that murder, homosexuality, lieing/deceit, gossip, envy/jealously and God-hating are all on the same level, and all who do these things deserve death.
I’ve never murdered, and I’m not homosexual, but I’ve done other things on that list. Since these things are so repulsive to God, how can I get on good terms with Him? Is it possible? Yes! There is a way to get straight with God. Follow that link for a very short explanation of what the Bible says.

Christians sure do have a strange definition of "love"
“…lieing/deceit, gossip, envy/jealously and God-hating are all on the same level, and all who do these things deserve death.”
Yep, that’s what I’d tell my children… and if they didn’t apologize I’d kill ‘em, for that’s the Christian way.
Love?
So do you let your children go unpunished when they break the rules? Death came into the world the moment the first people disobeyed God. It is a fact of life that everyone one of us has broken the rules (God’s rules that is) and that everyone of us will die.
In human terms, breaking the rules doesn’t mean instant death, it means eventual death, and unless other provisions are made, that death will involve permanent separation from God in the afterlife.
It most assuredly is not the Christian way to kill people who go against God’s will. Anyone who does so is a lunatic. This includes the crusades, suicide pacts and bombing abortion clinics.
Some things are worth dying for
Like seeing the world realize that a benevolent God, if one exists, would surely not wish death upon any person. Especially not because of their sexual desires.
Surely you have met many nice people through the internet, through your interaction with other software developers, etc. How many do you think are gay? Do you really agree with the bible on this one?
I know this is not the point of your post, but I can’t help but think you are an intelligent person who may not yet have the courage to disagree at least in part with an authority you respect so much.
