Leviticus 18:22~ Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Romans 1:26-27~ 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.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10~ 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 th greddy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Obama signed the repeal Wednesday of the longstanding policy banning gays from serving openly in the military, capping off a yearlong legislative push that just weeks ago seemed in danger of collapsing.
Obama said he was "overwhelmed" before putting his name to the law rescinding the 1993 policy known as "don't ask, don't tell." He said the decision would ultimately strengthen national security, downplaying the controversy that for years kept the policy stuck in neutral and predicting future generations would look back at the reversal and wonder what the fuss was about.

You probably already have....you probably enslaved her to lies and liberals beliefs via a public education and mass media indocination. That in itself would be enough...but no, you probably have enslaved her with taxes that she will need to pay because of your liberal policies..
I'm just wondering why you choose to use Bible verses to defend your homophobic policy, yet will not accept that the Bible tells you it is okay to sell your daughter into slavery. Why do you pick and choose which portions of the Bible to follow?

Funny! Why do you want to sell your daughter into slavery? Why do you pick and choose which portions of Colorado law to follow?

I seem to recall that there are those who have proclaimed that the Constitution is a living document and should adapt to the times. Seems to me to be a call from the Left to consider that logic.
But those same people will take a passage out of the Old Testament, that was applicable many centuries before the Birth Of Christ, and try to use that passage as something that is applicable in modern times. That seems quite hypocritical to me,but what do I know?

We have had this discussion about that practice before. It was a way of marrying off the less attractive or appealing daughters and has been abandoned many centuries ago.

Can't answer the question?
I don't have to answer the question (I do know the answer)...you might have to answer the question. I just hope your daughter is not underage.

I understand, but when someone uses portions of the Old Testament to validate their personal opinion about homosexuality and yet refuses to read portions of the same Old Testament which goes against something we all know is wrong, I have to ask "Which is correct? Either homosexuality is wrong and slavery is acceptable - according to the Old Testament - or else it is the opposite."
Which is it? The has to be some consistency to the thought process here, otherwise it appears that people are picking and choosing which portions of the Bible to follow.
