Good grief, you type faster than I do. That is a very intelligent appraisal, and I can see it is a serious topic to you and quite important.
I have read a lot of the law of Moses in Leviticus, much of it is of course a sleeping pill along the lines of the begats. But there is incredible wisdom and logic in the Law, and the thing about not dumping in the camp, well, that's probably why the entire nation of Irsreal DIDN'T die in the desert. They did common sense clean things based on the Law. I believe "God stepping in it" was just a very courteous way of the obvious, and far, far from anything to be mocked. The Law is total sense.
Then you see the begats mirror H. G. Wells description of the diffusion of language among the peoples of the earth, and across the face of the earth, well, there goes Japeth, who becomes Aryan to Wells, and we see Wells, the ARCH aethiest and hater of God, deliniating the three branches of mankind coming off of a trunk he states as "origin unknown" but the three main branches off the trunk are: HAM-itic SEM-itic and ARYAN.
Now, it just so happens that the geneologies of Genesis speak of three boy stepping off the ark with their daddy, Noah. They are HAM, S(H)EM and Japeth. Hamitic language. S(h)EMitic language and Japeth-ARYAN language.
These things of course get my attention.
Now, on to address something which I think is best left not discussed, but I suppose there is little avoiding it on SI and other places where the intelligencia compare thoughts.
Is there divine retribution for everyone who lusts after a sex life that is not really designed for the bodies of the people involved, and often apparently involves the use of various plastic utensiles? Actually demonstrated on MTV for the kids? I called the SCC of course and got no where. Finally gave up the fight.
Well, I don't know, but all I know is that is one thing I don't have to worry about among the things I will be judged for as part of my own life..
As far as a true knowledge of people who gravitate toward their same sex, I can count only ONE all-out homosexual among the people I truly love. The other one recently died. I loved them because they were and are loveable. They respected my repugnance of their lifestyle, and I overlooked what was going on behind the scenes, and now I will be emailing my friend and continuing our bond of many years and perhaps even become closer to him. I truly love his soul. It is beautiful. And he keeps his life very private and doesn't shove any of it in anyone's face. I have only in my life associated with 2 lesbians in any way--and that because we worked together and they were both loveable people, and also understood my strong heterosexual being, and both these women I worked with are still in my heart as a sweet memory of two people who came to my help late one evening by sheer coincidence, and worked on my car in the cold for nearly an hour until we got it going. They obviously demonstrated their friendship for me in a pure and Christian manner, as they both probably were, more than anything else. I would hug them like crazy if we ever run into each other again.
BUT. My relationship with homosexuals will probably be limited to those people, and that's all I can say. Can I see all of them in Heaven? Of course. So, that's about all I can say about it. But, it is a lust bag that should be avoided like the Bubonic Plague. Once you have it, if it doesn't kill you, fine.
That's my take on it Christine. That's the best I will ever be able to do with it. I have said 1000 times, and I will say it 1000 more, that God made them each male and female, and he knew what He was doing. Done His way, nothing can compare to it. All else is chopped liver. And not done His way, well, I think everyone can add their stories to that. I sure have a hundred or so.
But at least it isn't His fault. He designed it all to be as good as it gets if you just play by the rules. I never was good at that unfortunately.
This seems to all be about homosexuality. To me this is so strange. Are there ANY heterosexuals left on SI? To hear everyone blabble about it to such a strange degree, I'm beginning to wonder. If it is so widespread, then we are facing extremely serious consequences, and a repeated history which happens over and over and over. That's my take.
But, again, do I honestly believe God would judge a person's life on that area of their being? Whose body they choose to have that experience with? No. But I can assure you there will be a judgment based on the whole picture put together, and that I know with all my heart and soul and mind. I just know it. So I hope the rest of it is looking real good, know what I mean?
Beyond that this is the most I've said on the subject probably in my life beyond two sentences to change the subject.
