QuoteQuote(Fun challenge of the day - find the New Testament quote that indicates that heterosexual men will NOT be among the ones to stand with Jesus during the last days.)
The Bible also speaks out about malebisexualityhomosexuality (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13), so what conclusions are we to draw?
You misread the Scripture.

Sorry, but facts are facts regardless of what the Christians think. The origin of the winter festival is NOT Christian.
There are some scholars who believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was born around the end of October. That would shed new meaning to the evolution of Halloween.

There are some scholars who believe that I was born around the end of April. That would shed new meaning to the evolution of Easter.
In the runup to Christmas, you hear some Christians complaining about the so-called war on Christmas or how it's so commercial, or whatever.
My response is "so what?" If OTHER people want to make THEIR Christmas all about consumerism, that's THEIR business!
YOU don't have to participate! Quitcher bitching & just do your own thing & ignore the whining PC atheists and/or the commercialism.

>>The Bible also speaks out about male bisexuality homosexuality (Leviticus
>>18:22, 20:13), so what conclusions are we to draw? Shocked
>You misread the Scripture.
Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."
Revelation 14:3-5 "They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God."
I'd love to see the "correct" interpretation of those.

Leviticus 20:13 (New American Standard Bible)
13'(A)If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
The NAS seems to compare one to many. Therefore, both males have committed an abomination.
In regard to Rev 14:3-5, I'm not clear on your point. This Scripture refers to the 12,000 from each of the 12 Tribes of Israel. The prophecy indicates they will be virgins, Ergo, no sexual experience. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is their first and only love. It is a spiritually committed relationship and therefore not physical. That is how I read it.

You make your historical comments like they have some significance. Who is not aware of the historical evolution of December 25th from its original celebration of Mithras and other pagan rituals to it present day celebration of the Birth of Christ.
