the bible is, however, supposed to be a guide as to how to live one's life nearer to god/jesus. the text is supposed to be relatable. it stands to reason that as times change, the text will be analyzed through different minds/eyes and will possibly mean something entirely different to you than to the MEN that originally wrote it.

something can only mean SO much when it's analyzed outside of the time in which it was conceived/created.

When you are ashamed of something or if you know something is a sin , you should turn a way from your sin..... you won't accept it as your ID. point blank. Hide it No. Be prideful No.. So since sex before marriage is a sin, I'm assuming you only did it once, became ashamed because its a sin and haven't done it again until you get married. Sex before marriage isn't a sin  That was some stupid sh!t they taught in Sunday school. Joseph had sex with Mary and impregnated before their wedding/marriage ceremony. All of our forefathers laid with the women they eventually married. I can post scripts but I'm lazy today. Being a whore-monger (men) or whore (women) is the issue. Fuccing random people like the Romans and Greeks smh. Now if you lived that life but repented, then you have a clean slate, but no room to fucc up again.

after the bolded, I knew the rest was gonna be bs.  u tryna say that the virgin mary wasn't a virgin????  lmao. wow, the stuff yall make up

I understand....
however men asking for a men to come outside to have sex, saying do not lie with another man cannot be confusing.. it is what it is..
Also the spirit of discernment will allow a person to know if the word is of God or not.

Oh okay. So the government is going to extend its authority again and tell the church that they have to ignore one of their teaching in order to appease the law which itself claims is separate from religion? I see.
