I am not talking about the church. I am talking about the Bible. Why does it tell us to kill homosexuals? And why did god who so verily ordered us to kill them, "make them that way"?
And why do you hold that (bolded) belief?

trust me, if there was any proof either way, one group or the other would be shoving it in their opponents faces. there's nothing we here on ff are going to suddenly discover that theologists never thought up.
the bolded belief is just a moral. i believe that it should be for love, not pleasure, and only between married couoles.
And the part you're talking about is the old testament. In the new testament, there's a story in which the people brought an adultress to Jesus, asking him to help them stone her. he told them that he who had never committed a sin could go ahead and throw the first rock. none of the people stepped foreward. we can take this as a re-inventing of the laws of moses. Jesus even attributed some of the laws due to the isrealites themselves, and their hardened hearts.

He did not make us gay, WE made ourselves gay, And god knew this was wrong, So he told us to kill the people making the wrong choice.

i honestly doubt anyone would make that choice.

Anyone using the Bible to spread hate is wrong, and is using the Bible in an evil way.

i think it says that somewhere in the old testament, but what they're forgetting is that Jesus reformed and rebuilt the laws of Moses.
