Maybe he means you’re gay as an auditory term like video gamer kids say for example like if some kid does something stupid in Fortnite another kid might say that’s gay, oh that’s gay you did that, or don’t be gay. They don’t mean it literally they’re using it as a dog auditory term. So they use it like as in saying you’re stupid they’re saying you’re gay like that not literal.

Has another good example in Fortnite when another player has destroyed another player a video game a kid might say on the mic. Oh you raped me. They don’t mean literally they’ve been raped, but they’re using that term as in you basically destroyed them.

James was pretty clear about what he meant. It wasn’t just a figure of speech based on what he said. He specifically said that women who have a problem being gay one a month on some carpet themselves.

Yes, there are passages in the New Testament that have traditionally been understood as condemning homosexual behavior. What those passages mean today is debated among scholars and denominations. *The main texts cited:* 1. *Romans 1:26-27* — Paul describes women and men exchanging natural relations for what he calls "contrary to nature" — women with women and men with men burning with passion for one another. This is the longest passage on the topic. 2. *1 Corinthians 6:9-10* — A list of those who "will not inherit the kingdom of God" includes two Greek words: _malakoi_ and _arsenokoitai_. Traditionally translated as "men who have sex with men" or "homosexual offenders" (ESV, NIV). The exact meaning of those Greek words is disputed. 3. *1 Timothy 1:9-10* — Similar list includes _arsenokoitai_ again, translated as "those practicing homosexuality" or "sodomites" depending on translation. 4. *Jude 1:7* — Refers to Sodom and Gomorrah indulging in sexual immorality and pursuing "strange flesh," which some connect to the Genesis 19 account, though others interpret it differently. Jesus himself does not directly address homosexuality in the Gospels. He does affirm marriage as between a man and a woman in Matthew 19:4-6 and Mark 10:6-9 when discussing divorce, which traditional interpreters see as relevant. *How different groups interpret those passages:* *Traditional / conservative interpretation:* These texts condemn same-sex sexual acts as sinful, consistent with Old Testament teaching and the New Testament ethic of sexual relations being within male-female marriage. Condemnation of the act is distinct from condemnation of the person, and is in the same category as other sexual sins listed. *Revisionist / progressive interpretation:* Some scholars argue these passages are about specific contexts in the 1st-century Greco-Roman world — such as pederasty, prostitution, excess/lust, or pagan temple practices — not committed, monogamous same-sex relationships as understood today. They also point to debate over the precise translation of _arsenokoitai_ and _malakoi_. Most English Bibles in traditional translations (KJV, ESV, NIV, NASB) translate the passages as referring to homosexual conduct.

I wonder if you can buy accessories for those blind dolls that they created? Can you buy like the school accessory which comes with a Perkins brawler, a Slaton stylist, an tactile map.

@Matt Responding to the fact that we're all different: Yes that's the point of the, "on average," part of scientific results. And I actually miss the chance to talk to you in voice places sometimes, though I probably shouldn't try to do that just now.

I don't know who was talking about sex education, but I don't think sex education should be left up to the school system. I believe parents should educate their children about these things. I don't think any form of sex should be taught to a child. Gay or straight.

Yes, marriage on paper is the dumbest thing ever, but people are just programmed that way. I can’t even begin to tell you how many girls I’ve met we’ve been really good together, then they would say that if I really love them I would sign the dotted line and give them that big wedding. I think a lot of girls are this way because they grow up reading the romance novels. But a lot of those are just stories and nothing more.

I’ve known a lot of people who are very good and extremely happy together, and a lot of them even live together. But after they signed that marriage contract six months later they hated each other’s guts. And a couple of these people that I’m referring to were people that had lived together and function together for 10 years or more before they signed the dotted line.

To be fair, I don't really know what a couple gets whenever they pay taxes. I don't know if it makes it any less or not.
