A Man Of God Doing The Right Thing: Franklin Graham Blasts Buttigieg For Being Gay

[Lysistrata]

Just because it's not in the KJV of the Bible, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. When the KJV Bible was created, many books were either dropped, or they were heavily edited.

However, the Gospel of Thomas didn't have either of them happen to it, because it wasn't discovered until 1945.

Gospel of Thomas - Wikipedia

The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is a non-canonical sayings gospel. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried in response to a letter from Bishop Athanasius declaring a strict canon of Christian scripture.[1][2]

The Coptic-language text, the second of seven contained in what modern-day scholars have designated as Codex II, is composed of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus.[3] Almost half of these sayings resemble those found in the Canonical Gospels, while it is speculated that the other sayings were added from Gnostic tradition.[4] Its place of origin may have been Syria, where Thomasine traditions were strong.[5]

Wikipedia is for lazy amateurs. No reputable scholars will use it because it's not a secure site and can be edited by anyone. There are qualifications before a document is considered Scripture. You and other unbelievers do not qualify to tell Christians what is what isn't Scripture.

I referenced the Wiki article because the summary was succinct and to the point, as well as gave the date it was discovered.

But, if that's not good enough for you, here, try these........................

Here's one from the Bible Archaeology Society:
The Gospel of Thomas’s 114 Sayings of Jesus

Here's one from Early Christian Writings:
The Gospel of Thomas

But..................I get it..............if there is something that goes against your narrow world view, you look for any reason to discredit it. So, since you don't like Wiki because you think it can have fake entries, are all those other good Christian sites lying as well?

I said there are standards and qualifications that a document must pass before it is considered Scripture. Stick to your ignorant juvenile reasoning. Carry on.

So, you don't think that the library at Nag Hamadi (where they keep a whole bunch of other sacred documents) isn't a good enough authority? Keep your head buried in the sand if that is what suits you.

I respect any library. Libraries are good. Education is good. However, we're talking about Scripture, and there are qualifications to meet before something is considered Scripture. Read this.

Why do you trust the guys who attended the council at Nicea? They were just a bunch of guys who followed Constantine.

Take it up with the author of the piece. It's irrelevant to the point being made.

The author is a liar. There is no Gospel of Thomas in the Bible. If the author is a liar, your article is a lie. DUH!!

The article is stating observable behavior of the religious right wing bigots. Are you stating that you and they do not want to marginalize, demean, control and discriminate against LGBT people? Now THAT is a lie

Yep, I don't want queers raising children, teaching children or having an authority over children. I also don't want homosexuality taught as being as normal behavior as heterosexuality. Guilty as charged. I admit it. Why don't you also get honest and admit you want to marginalize and control Christians.

Yes and there we have it! You are a religious, idiotic bigot. In your own words!! You hate gays more than you care about children and are willing to use them as pawns in your holy war against homosexuals. You disgust me.

Wrong. The left are the ones forcing their agenda on children in the education system. You and your friends in the homosexual clan are the ones that want to indoctrinate children with your filth. God is a bigot. I'm in good company. Of course I disgust you. God's word and the Holy Spirit disgust you. I'm in good company. Yes, we are at war, a spiritual war.

Thank you again for admitting and demonstrating that you are an ignorant religious bigot. We are done here

Simple question, are you going to answer?

Answer what?!!

I trust God. The disciples were uneducated working men. God doesn't call the qualified. God qualifies the called. The Bible is full of ordinary people used by God.

While at the same time lesbians have a different effect.

you do bring up a good point, just about every porn flick ever made for guys has woman one woman sex...for a reason

Try as we might, we can't fight nature...……......

I seem to recall reading something about the spirit being willing and the flesh being weak...

You read?

a lot. In the case of the Bible I have read it cover to cover 11 times.

No one is trying to shut you people up. It is only with the rise of the political religious right that a bastardized view of religious freedom has emerged. It has come to mean that you get to impose your religious views on others. Being free to believe, worship, live and speak your mind whenever and wherever you wish is no longer enough. You might want to take a look at this:

The Muller investigation might have been a bust but it revealed the extent of foreign (and domestic) propaganda dedicated to undermining the fabric of American society. Be very skeptical of posts that seem to originate from MAGA sites or so-called "alt-right" posters. Most of the time these posters are fakes.. Read Alinsky's "rules for radicals" and think for yourselves.

What a joke yet let those without sin cast the first stone..

Yeah cause Jesus never pointed out to sinners fact that that's what they were.

Jesus spent more time chastising hypocrites than any other brand of fuckwit.

He never once criticized homosexuals.

He did call people who divorce and remarry adulterers, though.

You know, like Trump (three marriages). And Kim Davis (four marriages). And Newt Gingrich (three marriages). And Rush Limbaugh (four marriages).
