Certainly if God didn't want men to have sex with other men, He would have said “Man shall not lie with man PERIOD (Leviticus 18:22, 21:13). God wanted Moses to eradicate rampant idolatry in the Jewish nation. That whole “ . . . as with a woman” thing condemns straight men pretending to make it with a woman, such as during idol worship. Paul explains it further when putting down the straight Romans (1:26-28 ) for “leaving their natural relations” (i.e.... as with a woman) and having idolatrous sex with men. Gay men are attracted to other men by definition and by God. They can only imagine what sex “ . . . as with a woman” would be like.

Brothers let's leave them alone, for they too are deceived, soon God will revail who are His, and who are those who belongs to the enemy. Don't pull out the wheat yet, Let it grow along with the weeds. As we all can see, now that the weeds have increased in numbers, it is enveloping the wheats---Our generation is by far the most wicked and crafty in all aspects, from individuals to families and society. The true Gospel has been trampled underfoot by the so called christians, it is now clear that the counterfeit christianity is becoming bolder and bolder in their attempt to overthrow God and Jesus Christ. The four system of thinking is now in full force, those who truly surrender their lives to God and He's Son Jesus Christ will soon face the greatest test of their faith.

What's the problem? That's what Protestantism is all about. But then, who's listening?

Has anyone ever paused to reflect on the thought, that the Creator of the universe, the One that we honor as God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, made the bricks and mortar so that they would not last forever, that the time has arrived for the old structure to be retired, rather than re-built? And then, perhaps, just perhaps, those who spend so much time on preserving doctrines, will spend morre time, grieving our limited knowledge of the love He has bestowed upon us.

This is the mess you have when you substitute the teachings of the Bible for the teachings of men. The Scripture is very clear on all these issues. Women are not to teach or have authority over men for the theological and NOT cultural reason--God designed men to have the role of leadership and women to submit and learn. The first time it didn't happen, the Fall resulted and mankind (not personkind or humankind--stupid words that insult the intelligence of women everywhere) has suffered ever since. They cannot be honestly studying the Scriptures. And an honest study of the first century church didn't even have archbishops! A Bishop is an overseer or an elder and there was a plurality of them in the local congregation! The whole denomination (which it is unScriptural to be divided with all Christians as such) is a joke.
