Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Matthew 19:4-6 - He answered, ‘Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning “made them male and female”, and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.

And there are a couple more. It is disputed.

#1) What if they identify as a woman. You had zero qualms about that and argued vehemently against me. Hypocrite.
#2) See #1
#3) That is really more about marriage.

So....based on the Bible a biological male cannot identify as a female. Please explain your vehement argument against me when I agree with that exact assertion.

I didn't say cannot. I said it wasn't part of the plan to my understanding.

My argument is that we need to use the golden rule and treat everyone with kindness and respect and God will judge. Love the sinner, hate the sin.

So we should love murderers and rapists? Who are we to judge? God will do so anyway. Correct? We should love the sinner....killer of Mollie Tibbets? God will judge him?

God will judge them. Are you equating being gay to murder?

I am just listing sins man. Are some sins worse than others in the bible? So why do we have judges, prisons?

The Bible is pro prison rehabilitation.

It is? How so?

Wait a sec; cccp, are you saying you would be perfectly fine and not at all disappointed if one of your daughters "married" (I shudder to use that word relative to two people of the same gender.) another woman?

Well, my interpretation is that Jesus obviously wants us to forgive but we still need to have a society in which crimes are dealt with and people are rehabilitated. Again it is up for interpretation.

I think Jesus was a gangsta

Jesus is a cool dude.

Thats the thing. He was a charismatic leader who changed history. Unlike Mohammed he was not a warlord but a son of a carpenter, who had some wealth (middle class) and simply willed people to follow him based on message and toughness. I am guessing he had to kick some *** of those who beat on women, the poor and the weak.

Don't know if he was truly the son of God, but I do know or at least believe he was a good man. And he was a Jew! :)

Yea but explain to me where He was for those "missing years"??
