Bible Question: How can any 'modern' Christian justify the Leviticus 20:13. Those who preach the 'word of the lord' should realise how offensive and archaic such a statement is. Don't be fooled by religion - it is merely a way of controlling the masses and preventing creative, independent thought. |
Bible Answer: Hmmm, Justify... That's pretty easy Genesis 1 The History of Creation The Creation (1) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. see, it all BELONGS to God so Romans 9 19You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" 20But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" 21Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,... There will be no profit to resisting the will of God. Obedience is the only path to eternal dividends. |
