I am not sure of that... I have read the bible and it says to kill the homosexual. It also says to be with like minded people and to not even eat with homosexuals. That sounds kind of discriminating to me.

Leviticus 20:13 NIV

" 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

1 Corinthians 5

9I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

If all the reasons for killing someone in the Bible were rigorously applied, we'd solve the population problem overnight. I suspect the passages you cited amount to cherry-picking. Otherwise, why not kill for all the other reasons outlined in the Bible?

Me:
The Law which Leviticus is part of was given to the Theocracy of Israel. II Cor. 3:11 indicates that the Law has been done away and replaced by liberty found in Christ. We are now in the Age of Grace governed by the Law of Christ. The moral code of The Ten Commandments is included in the Law of Christ.

I can'at believe it. The RIGHT is LYING again. I wonder why these people who portend to be believers in the Bible and the Ten Commandments can't adhere to them.



Emanuel Won't Act To Block Chick-fil-A

The effort of Chicago Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) to block a Chick-fil-A from entering his Northwest Side ward because the restaurant president is against gay marriage seemed to have the support Wednesday of Mayor Rahm Emanuel. However, Emanuel may be backing off from the fight, and at the very least has clarified his position.

An Emanuel spokesman told the Sun-Times Thursday that, "The mayor simply said that Chic-fil-A's CEO does not share Chicago's values."

"He did not say he would block or play any role in the company operating a new restaurant here," the spokesman said.

On Wednesday, Emanuel said that, "Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago values", adding "If you're gonna be part of the Chicago community you should reflect Chicago values."

Council members are usually given the privilege of turning away a business they don't want in their ward. However, Moreno's explicitly stated reason for opposing Chick-fil-A could lead to a lawsuit.
