[...]twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1134538168324300800 Just like every good Christian would do right?     Take off the blinders folks.  Sodomy is attempted rape and/or rape. That is what the crime of Sodom was (viz., Genesis 18:16-19:29; cf. the crime of Gibeah, Judges 19:22-21:25). That is an actual initiation of force, or threat thereof, against another person. Homosexuality is no sin. Sin is treating others as one would not like others to treat them. Jesus Christ gave the complete system of Salvation. The Messiah said that there are only two requirements for a person to receive eternal life (Luke 10:25-28, NKJV): ""    And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?" So he answered and said, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself.'" And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live."    "" The Torah is itself quite evil in many places, such as requiring any Israelite picking up sticks on a Sabbath to be stoned to death (see Numbers 15:32-36; Exodus 31:12-17; 35:1-3). No one alive today actually believes in much of the Torah laws, and there is quite rightly no place on Earth where it would be legal to practice many of them. These days no Jew is lethally stoning another Jew for gathering wood on a Saturday. The only thing morally God cares about, in a human context, is that we treat others as we would like others to treat us (viz., Luke 10:25-28; Matthew 19:19; 22:36-40; Mark 12:28-34; Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31; John 15:12,17; 13:15,34,35; 1 John 3:11,12,23; 4:11,20,21; 1 John 2:10; Romans 13:8-10; Galatians 5:13,14; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13). For more on this, see Sec. 7.4.2: "God’s Relation to the Old Testament", pp. 46-47 and Sec. 7.4.4: "The Soteriology of Existence", pp. 50-53 of my following article:  James Redford, "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", Social Science Research Network (SSRN), Sept. 10, 2012 (orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2011), 186 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1974708, archive.org/download/ThePhysicsOfGodAndTheQuantumGravityTheoryOfEverything/Redford-Physics-of-God.pdf , purl.org/redford/physics-of-god , webcitation.org/74HMsJGbP .  My foregoing article concerns physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics). Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics and science journals. However, it also analyzes the societal implications of said, particularly the implications of the exponential advancement of technology and hence also the coming radical life-extension technologies in light of a world dominated by a callous oligarchy. The naturally-evolved Jaynesian gods of old--i.e., the demons--seek to distance people from genuine knowledge of God so that the demons may instead falsely present themselves as God. Among many permutations of this, it often manifests as various forms of fear-based irrational beliefs. Demons are quite real, they however exist as naturally-evolved Minskian agent subset programs operating on the wet-computer of the human brain.
