Job 5-7

[wolfpurplemoon]

Job is now a very broken man, despite his friends continuing to praise God in his presence.

Job says that no man shall come up from his grave once buried there, which to me means that there is no afterlife.

The New Testament DOES mention homosexuality, several times. Here are two of those passages below:

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

Romans 1:24-27 "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

There may be more passages, but those are 2 I found.

First, Jesus didn't do away with the OT. He was the fulfillment of the OT. Now that Jesus has fulfilled the Law, there are some laws that we no longer are required to follow, as the book of Acts says in the passage that deals with the Jerusalem council. Laws such as eating of certain foods, circumcision, etc, are not required for Gentile Christians.

Second, there is a passage in Romans that deals with what may happen to people who never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Romans 2:12-16 I think. Basically ,it says that people who had never heard of God still served him by their honest desire to do what was right, and by following the conscience God gave them. God does not send people to hell for unfair reasons. The thing is, I don't believe a lot people are as blind to the truth as they pretend. Surely they see the pain in the world that comes from disobeying the Bible, yet they ridicule me for pointing it out. I don't get the feeling they are truly looking for the truth when they act like they can't see what is obvious. I do believe that if one does honestly search for God, He will show himself to the person.
