I wanted to asks, what's everyone's fav bible quotes, maybe life protips and the such?
I've been trying to find some to bookmark in my bible.
Genesis 19:33-36 are among my favorites. Definitely not a life protip though.

There are certainly parts of the Bible that state male homosexuality is frowned upon in the eyes of God.

This posting style is likely not helpful to either the thread or your cause.
Setting out a wall of successive posts from a single individual in reply to a range of individual posts before vanishing for several days before doing the same thing again a few days later isn't against the rules as such, but could be seen as a breach of forum etiquette.
It's just not the done thing in these forums.
I would gently posit that it does little to advance the arguments you want to make, and in fact might be actively undermining your point(s). At the very least, it can appear to be discourteous towards other regular thread participants.
And I assume you would not want to be intentionally discourteous.

Does God even do that. Scriptures say he loves the sinner and hates the sin, but it is the sinner that he sends to purposeless torture and death in hell.
I think God hates sinners. What is that line, Esau I hated even in the womb. A baby in the womb cannot have sinned.

This is a bizarre argument from someone who first burst into this thread announcing that the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, the means by which Christ opened the gates of Heaven to humanity even though we do not merit it, is unjust.

Homosexuality, gender non-conformity, and a few often associated sins are condemned in a list of sexual sins found in one of the Pauline epistles. Several other biblical passages condemn crossdressing, rejection of gender roles, etc, and a few biblical passages explicitly state that marriage is between a man and a woman. There's also Leviticus 18:20, but it's arguable how it applies to Christians.

To think that a God would close the gates of heaven by condemning all of creation unjustly is beyond foolish.
Do try to get out of supernaturalstupid thinking and wonder who would be more likely to demand a human sacrifice to forgive anyone. Satan or God?
A moral man will say Satan. Stop following Satan.

I note you attacked the messengers I put, the links I put, but ignored the messages except for the usual out of context cop out phrase used extensively by many Christians without showing any right, to you, context. You win that debate.
