Shitstain24:7 "And the Lord spoketh: check thy neighbors genitals, for only the true male and true female shall be allowed in to God's kingdom. It is for you to judge. God does not judge anyone. Also, stone them for good measure."
I genuinely hate the term bullying, and countless people including mental health professionals have said this about my experiences with others and a lot of these instances had to do primarily with harassment based on my identity or race
I can’t quite put into words why I hate being labelled a victim of bullying but I’m sure others can relate.
The #1 rule of Christianity is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. It's clear that many so-called Christians are not following this simple rule.
Also the fact that even the original text in the Bible was about pedophiles when talking about sin, but the guys who wrote it later changed it to homosexuals.
Which part are you referring to? There's text banning it in both testaments.
Both of them, as a matter of fact I think it was changed just few centuries ago and before that it referred to pedophilia and zoophilia.
Are you perhaps thinking of “buggary” which referred to any “unnatural” sex act. That included all anal sex, sex with animals. Really anything in theory but PIV sex between a man and woman. Not so much a biblical thing as something in western law derived from Christianity.
In different places it’s had different connotations and legal definitions though and in reforms of the western legal code its definition underwent various reforms, some progressive, others not so.
But that has nothing to do with biblical definitions or doctrine from over 5 centuries ago.
Considering the bible has instances of girls (underage) to be taken for the pleasure of conquering men in god’s chosen army and considering it has a payment system and mandatory marriage ofremoveds to their victims I’m fairly confident that any condemnations of abusing children is merely a way of condemning homosexual man/boy acts which the Romans did practice and not Man/girl for instance.
Christianity going back to verified pre-European (Dead Sea scrolls) sources is a mixture of teachings, many socially reactionary and some progressive. Trying to make it approve of modern understandings of human sexuality (sexuality was seen in terms of acts not of attractions or being born a given way) when it’s so old is not likely to yield success as reactionaries who can read Ancient Greek and Aramaic will have points to score against such attempts.
Dunno about that. In the new testament, at least, it is said that (male) homosexuals will not inherit god's kingdom.

Do you have any source that says that specific part was altered?

This only refers to the Leviticus verse, not the NT one that I provided. Also, going by the latin text seems like a methodological mistake to me, since the original old testament was in Hebrew and the first translation in Greek.
He also told slaves to obey their masters so fuck that removed
Let's be real, there's probably 100 passages. The real Christiantiy according to the Bible is a oafish religion for pod people.
The modern Chistiantiy of the current Roman Catholic church has nothing to with what's in the Bible, it's just a vaguely Christian flavored repackaging of the current zeitgeist. So you can't use it as a measuring stick.
The old monotheistic and schamanic religions before that didn't give a single hoot about any of that stuff. See the Enaree for example.
Sorry, I couldn't follow your point there.
So, do you think Christianity has hundreds of passages in Scriptures that condemn trans people or do you think modern, fundamentalist and anti-trans Christianity has nothing to do with the Bible?
This might be controversial but there is no such thing as American Christianity. It's a facade for white supremacy, reactionary thought, and other bigotry. I am sure there are true believers but structurally that's what it is.
