      It doesnt advocate hate. The essence of the gospel is to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself.

      But its VERY clear about some things that the world seems to find fuzzy, one of which is homosexuality. It doesnt say anyone should hate ANYONE, but it also doesn’t say that everything is good or acceptable to God. So you can shoot the message or the messenger but if you believe the Bible supercedes the wisdom of man, then believers are going to believe the Bible.

      Bible doesn’t advocate hate. Chisto-fascists do.

      LoveCanada wants the right to misrepresent the bible to back up his own hateful beliefs.

        Please point to ANYTHING Ive said that is “hateful” Youre using the same ploy that most objecters do, which is “If you dont agree with me wholeheartedly, you are obviously a hateful bigot” So where is the part where you and I can just disagree, and you can hold your beliefs and I can hold mine? You have labelled me hateful when I havent said anything of that nature.

          Nothing you’ve said is hateful. So why are you worried?

          where is the part where you and I can just disagree, and you can hold your beliefs and I can hold mine?

          Matthew 12:30 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.”

            Im not worried. Im presenting the Bible’s viewpoint on a contentious matter in our current society. I know what I believe. For the record I haven’t even said Im a Christian, but I have studied the Bible and specifically this matter.
