The Bible and Homosexuality

Hi, so I would like to point out that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality for at least three reasons:

1) the old testament passages about homosexuality were mistranslated, they actually refer to pedophilia, specifically the practice of prostituting young boys.

2) "homosexuality" is as much of a sin as wearing "mixed fabrics" and eating pork. Remember, "all things are permissable, but all things are not beneficial" and "the greatest of these is love". If the relationship your person is in is a loving partnership, they're far closer to God's will than the heterosexual who abuses their partner and their children.

3) The Holy Spirit is supposed to change people to bring them closer to Jesus over time. If God wished to change queer christians and make them not queer, they would change. But, as a matter of fact, the most loving, most compassionate Christ-following Christians I've ever met have been queer.

Mitchiri Neko Mix, Mix 2, and Lab

TL:DR - found the correct archive for a game no longer on the Play Store. "Translation" note: I normally use double letters to represent the small-tsu character, but the Fan Wiki used a different romanization. Both are valid romanizations from different systems, although I believe the method I was taught is more modern. To respect the community, I will use the accepted standard of "Mitchiri Neko" for English/localized game titles, and to respect my own need for consistency I will use all-lowers "micchiri neko" for the pronounciation guide following Japanese characters. Also I apologise if my English is awkward at times, I'm not so good at Japanese that I can code-switch easily... polyglots and people who become bilingual later in life will confirm, learning a new language does something to the way you process the languages you already know, and most polyglots I know have to keep studying all of them to keep them straight - a bit like how, when you appl...

Today's dinner: toasted hotdog-and-cheese sandwich

A fast and low-energy 'depression' meal with high salt content. The cronch of the rye toast is a pleasant sensory experience but beware sharp edges if you over-toast the bread. ingredients: 2 hotdogs (I used ball park brand beef) Cheese (i used PCS 'sharp' cheddar but it was kind of soft) 2 slices rye bread (refrigerated) kitchen utensils: - toaster oven (I used the Hamilton Beach 31146 you can get for <$30 at Walmart) - tinfoil sheet (optional, but really not) - knife or cheese slicer - a plate (optional, but fancy) 1. line the toaster oven pan with foil and flip the rack so you can put the pan above the toast as so: 2. cut the hotdogs into long and skinny quarters and line them up inside the foil. If any quarter is too big cut it again. We want them to curl when they cook. 2a (optional): toast the hot dogs a little by themselves so they're a little crispy by the time the cheese toast is finished. 3. slice just enough cheese to fill the bread 1/8...

interdependence and apples

》　It really saddens me that it only takes one bad apple to ruin a bunch for most people. The reason the saying is, "one bad apple ruins the bushel/barrel" is that because of the way apples rot, they emit a gas that causes all the apples around them to rot as well. When talking about how people interact, a person did not develop their personality by accident or by chance; they were enabled by so many people that there's almost no way of picking out any particular influence. For instance, if you read the book about Trump by his niece, she points out that nearly every troubling behavior he has was initially caused by the extremely high desire he had to earn his own father's affection, and was subsequently reinforced by celebrity-dom and the trappings of wealth. Similarly MLK Jr., who was a reverend for some time before he became a celebrity, was strongly influenced by his own understanding of the Word of God and the unconditional support of his loved ones, ev...
