How can you say the creation of god isnt a gift of god negativity is in the air

[smurfboywv]

@uriahms The word of God says nothing about being gay. Man has re-written the bible to make it say what they want, they even added homosexual to it. God would not create abominations in his eyes. You fail every time. Stop hating and be a true child of God. Its not your job to judge anyways.

@uriahms Rape and being gay is 2 different things.

[uriahms]

@smurfboywv If I had to use your line of reasoning I would say the word rape does not exist in the Bible and therefore it is okay to rape.

[uriahms]

@smurfboywv You confirm what I said in my first post. You use vitriol to attack me simply because I am upholding the word of God. I humbly accept your persecution.

As I said before the word Homosexual didn't exist until 1869 so your mouth does nothing but lie. Some people just can't face the truth. God made everyone, gay or straight, get over it.

@uriahms Again, the word homosexual didn't exist until 1869 in Germany, look it up.

@uriahms Leviticus laws are for the people of Levite, old testament. The churches do not follow any of the OT laws. Anyway Jesus fulfilled those laws and they no longer apply. Try again my friend.
