    How does the Bible define the “excessive lust” you are talking about? Where is the line? Can you give examples? Does this mean orgies and strip clubs and engaging in creating porn? Or are all of those ok if the people engaging in the behavior feel their truth is that they are honoring God with their behavior?

    Im sorry but I think conservative Christians are the real cherry pickers. They constantly love to talk about how the Bible helped abolish slavery even though it clearly endorses it, but when you say it was okay in that context and time, theyre content with that. When Brandan, however, says the very same thing about homosexuality (That it was condemned because of the time and context) people absolutely lose their mind. Its just Homophobia and blatant fear-mongering. That is why every single time Brandan debates someone they try their hardest to paint him as a degenerate (Andrew Wilson), because it is based on an unfounded fear. This fear is clearly exhibited when Andrew hypothetically poses the ridiculous question "What if everyone turned gay and the world went extinct!1!1!?

    'One can be gay and Christian at the same time. 1 Being gay and being a\ homosexual are two different things. Homosexuals practice lustful homosexual sex. The God-fearing gay individual does not. 2 Being gay isn't actually the sin, being homosexual is. 3 A gay individual who doesn't entertain adulterous thoughts and denies themself isn't being homosexual anymore. 4 Being gay just means that one is attracted to the same sex as themself. It doesn't mean they go around thinking about having relations with every man or woman they come across. iT also doesn't mean they are homosexual. 5 Sex isn't love. Biblical love is working for the betterment of other people selflessly. A gay individual can still love their partner without having sex. 6 One cannot avoid temptation. A gay individual who's put their faith in Jesus will still be tempted to look below the belt. If he wants to emulate Jesus, he knows he shouldn't. Even if he does, he can still choose to discard those thoughts and not act on the feelings. 7 God said what he said about a biblical union, not a marriage contract [Genesis 2:24]. "Gay marriage" and polygamy are simply other kinds of marriage. 8 Being trans isn't wrong. One can be LGBTQ and not partake in any of the sinful activities. Disclaimer: If you don't want to live this kind of lifestyle, don't.

    This is a rather dangerous approach to Christianity. Where is Jesus Christ in all of this? You never once mentioned His name. So your truth might be different from my truth?? Where does that end up? So is the gospel true or not? Is Jesus Christ really the Son of God or not?? What parts of the bible will you choose to accept and which parts do you think will change over time???

    According to your interpretation of “exploitation”, how do you explain the second part which is “as he lieth with a woman”. Husbands having sex with their wife is not exploiting her. It is an act of love for each other. The term “exploitation sexual practice” is too ambiguous. It’s either consensual or not. If it’s not consensual sex, it’s rape. But this leads to the next question, why would the man being raped by another should also put to death? In Deuteronomy 22: 25-26 teaches if a man “force her, and lie with her”, the man should put to death but the (betrothed) damsel has “no sin worthy of death”. This leave to the only explanation which is Leviticus 20: 13 truly is talking about consensual sex between two men which means homosexual sex is a sin. Repent for believing to the lies of satan, like I did. For God is faithful and will surely forgives anyone with afflicted soul. Let Jesus’ love heal you for His love is powerful enough to attract you toward Him from same sex attraction. No man (or woman) can love me more than Jesus who died for my sin before I knew Him! Praise the Lord for setting me free!

    The Bible was one of the most feminist books of its time Brandan. The reason Paul touched on veils was very clear. Veils were reserved in the Roman Empire for only married women and widows. The idea about any woman wearing a veil in the house of God was to demonstrate that the unmarried were as good as those married and widows. I would caution you to seek more knowledge through the doctrinal letters. These are historical texts used to take away from the “mystery” of scripture and adapt them to the universal virtue that was intended. Confusing people and overstating the complexities of these matters is irresponsible lazy coddling to post modernistic ideas that intend to drive people away from the message. Especially the way you try to incorporate unnecessary Semantics.

    I don't agree with your beliefs but i do think your interpretation does expose a lot of hypocrisy in the Protestant Church. Sure we boast how we've exchanged their rituals for our traditions but once these traditions are offended look how quickly they become ritualistic once again! As ritualistic I mean it in the context of these preferences are not simply sentimental as a tradition would be but supernatural as in a ritual It's self-evident spiritual things cannot be proven. These are beliefs we take by faith. I don't know if claiming you can be gay and Christian is any different than being a Christian nationalist. In my opinion it's taking our idols and putting a big cross on the side attempting to combine them to our faith. Wow you're gay! Its not that interesting
