This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Bible is pretty clear.

1 Corinthians 6:9

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

Romans 1:26-27

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

As for the "hot and cold", that type of thing is up for interpretation, although I hold that hot water is good and so is cold water. I believe that's what Jesus was referring to.

The "Camel through an eye of a needle" with the "eye of the needle" being a gate is a total myth made up by the rich to try and justify their greed. Jesus meant what we read it as today. For extra clarification, the original greek even refers to the word "needle" with different words, one is surgical, I believe the other one is fishing related. So it couldn't be a place. Jesus meant what He said - it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich person to get into heaven.

Exactly. The bible is clear, and it is clearly unjust.

Therefore those who follow what it says are spreading injustice through the world and must be stopped.
