@Magdalene_enha@fiercepatricks That you don't care is really the point. What you don't realize is that you can't "not" choose" God. He may not choose you.
@groutly123@fiercepatricks There is nowhere in the Bible that God says loving the same sex gender is a sin and even if you miraculously find a passage that says that guess what? I still don't care, if it's that big of a sin why does he keep making queer people on a regular basis?
Sodom and Gomorrah wasn’t destroyed because of “homosexuality”
It was destroyed because their sin was very grievous.
Why do religious people say it’s because of homosexuality when it was never mentioned in the Bible until 1946. Sounds like someone added it in there
We can! 2000 years and then in 1947 the dead sea scrolls were found. It was the scriptures dating to the time of Christ and before. It was almost identical to what we have had for the last 2000 years. I believe your leaders purged Korans that had conflicts. Of course, that means the one left over seems like the only one.
I think what sets Islam apart from other religions is the extent to which it has been preserved.
We have the same Qur'an that existed at the time of the Prophet (pbuh).
The science of hadith collection is unparalleled in any other religion, meaning that we know a huge amount about what the Prophet (pbuh) said and did.
And we have even preserved the Arabic language so much so that a speaker of Arabic in 7th century Makkah would be able to almost fluently understand educated Arabic speech today.
Can Christianity, Judaism or any other religion claim this level of preservation? No way.
@Magdalene_enha@fiercepatricks Also, you can believe you love someone that is not your spouse. If you consummate that emotion, it's still adultery and a sin, no matter how much a person tells themselves it isn't.
@LiberationSon@fiercepatricks It's true throughout the Arab and semitic societies. Sodom and Gomorrah is hardly a lesson in hospitality though. It's mainly a lesson that God has a limit to the sin He will tolerate. And He decides the limit.
@groutly123@fiercepatricks 1) So an ancient Jewish culture hospitality was a major moral principle. The people of Sodom had a sacred hospitality duty to protect the stranger and the poor, rather doing the opposite and trying to rape them. This was a major breach of the social contract that
@fiercepatricks A lot of people struggle to understand the hospitality culture element to this as well. Especially in the west, we don’t have the same general idea of hospitality customs that would’ve been so incredibly vital to ancient Jewish society
Genesis 19:4-5
"Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population, surrounded the house. 5 They called out to Lot and said, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have sex with them!”"
You're an idiot.
@fiercepatricks@Justmoi90995439 You are showing that you are overly emotional and anyone that actually reads the bible knows you are making it up as you go.
@Justmoi90995439 Even though I don’t believe in their religion
I’m showing them that they don’t even understand the tool they use to justify their prosecution.
@fiercepatricks It was destroyed because they committed every single sin and more. They were passed saving at this point.
Like are they seriously saying that the people sodom and gomorah were the only queer people in the Bible? They should be fr
@Ryan_Andry89 They forget other types of sin and focus on gay people which was never even mentioned as a reason why the cities were destroyed
It’s just hate
@fiercepatricks My points exactly, people oversimplify it. The story points to broader injustice and cruelty, not just one issue people fixate on. Clock it 🤏🏾
@fiercepatricks The text itself focuses on collective moral corruption and violence, not a single modern label. How it gets interpreted today often depends more on theology and translation history than a straightforward reading of the original passage.
