Well then believe it somewhere else, because you are ruining this debate with your nonsense.

How is in nonsense if It is True?

Faith and belief in what? The bible? That's circular logic. There is no reason to believe in the bible.

Faith and Belief in the One True God, as well as the Bible. As well, the beliefs you currently hold are circular. "Proof" is circular.

First off, if you work on a Sunday, according to Exodus 35:2, you should be put to death. Exodus 21:1-7 are the rules of owning a slave. Leviticus 11:7 says not only can you eat pork, you can't play football (made from pigs skin). Can't plant crops side by side, and you can't wear cloths made from two different threads. I'm going to guess you've broken one of the above laws a couple of times so even you probably don't follow all the rules of the Bible or know all of them.

These are books from the Old Testament, in which specific instructions were created to maintain what God created, yet it was renewed when Jesus came and saved All people from their sins. Of course, no one has ever followed all of the Bible, except Jesus Christ - because no one is perfect, except Him.

to underlying meaning:
MT 5:39, MT 5:44 Do not resist evil. Love your enemies.
LK 19:27 God is likened to one who destroys his enemies.

First of all, it states: "39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."
Here, it is simply stating to not take revenge. "If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." When stated in Matthew 5:44, to Love your enemies, it is not directly related in the sense you proposed previously. As it states in Luke 19:27, All of Luke 19, is a parable.

MT 7:1-2 Do not judge.
MT 7:15-20 Instructions for judging a false prophet.

Matthew 7:15-20 are not instructions for judging a false prophet. They are how to find false prophets and doctrines.

Third, certain statements defy science. Not evolution, but rather that the sun revolves around the earth which standing upon pillars. And that monsters guard the edge of the sea.

Numerous statements in the "Natural" world defy science, and do reference.

Your logic means everything must be true, except if everything is true then the old covenant is obsolete, which can't be true because everything about the Bible is true, except if everything is true, the old covalent is obsolete...
A logical circle. However if you take my meaning saying that not everything in the Bible is literal and some has a deeper meaning, then the Bible makes logical sense.
|
All of the Bible is True. A large amount of It, though, intends for it to include numerous meanings.

Obviously the term is open to interpretation for the reason I presented, people of that era had no concept of homosexuality as an orientation. They were referring strictly to behaviors that involved men acting toward each other as they would a woman. Behaviors which can be acted out by anyone.

Yet, the Bible has no room for "interpretation," it is always True.
