The Bible as a Book

Recently I was basically bashed for quoting the Bible. It seems people can no longer use this in a reason why people are the way they are. It's words are thrown out as the wrong way to live. As to where an idea came in the first place when it is the Bible the person becomes the thing to retaliate at ..... well anything the Bible says.

Now yes, I believe what the Bible says is truth. I don't assume other do, but to prove a point of direction where beliefs come from the belief that homosexuality is wrong comes from the Bible. You can't change that. It's clear, it's written. This is where people take the belief that homosexuality is wrong. They found it in the Bible.

The Bible is also where other things are found....The 10 Commandments were said in this discussion to be 'the big ones'.....oh brother I thought, as my brain tried and did have flashbacks about what I had been taught about why the law was written in the first place....was it that all have sinned or what was it....I'll have to ask on Sunday night. Its about the Law or maybe I'll look it up...

Well take this passage:

Galatians 5:17-19

King James Version (KJV)
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Vs. 18 explains it to me....but it was a longer sermon series or a Bible study.
