<Aren't you squeamish about the possibility of all of God's Word being true and you will have to answer to leaving off or adding to His holy word?> No!! I think I am going to heaven, and all the people who discriminate against Jews, commit hate crimes, say that other people are satanic without any evidence whatsoever, participate in the militia/white supremacist movement, dominate and abuse women, hurt children, are racists, and/or do not accept homosexuals are the ones who are going to hell. <Than you believe that the author of Romans was just a second rate preacher and although 2/3 of the New Testament was authored by him that he lied when he said homos and drunkards will not inherit the Kingdom of God.> Jesus doesn't mention homosexuality at all. Ruth and Naomi may well have been lesbian lovers. The sins that were offensive at Sodom and Gomorrah were idolatry, prostitution, and heterosexuals committing homosexual acts, sometimes with angels. We are not reading the Bible in its original language, and there have been mistranslations. Many theologians believe it should all be read as fable, not fact at all. Also, the tribes who lived in the Middle East at that time were small, superstitious, and trying to build their populations. All sorts of things that we do now every day would be grounds to going to hell back then. Alcoholism is a disease, which was not known back then. All religions make sense in the place and time they begin, but I personally believe it is a mistake to take everything literally. Have you seen this url? ncf.carleton.ca
