Quoth the LaBarbera
Today Peter LaBarbera quotes the Bible in response to The Transgendered Religious Summit with a tract from the bible.
Whatever man may say, these are the words of God for the gender-confused:
A woman shall not wear a man’s garment,
nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak,
for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
– Deuteronomy 22:5Genuine transformation is possible in Jesus Christ. Come and see!
How does one respond to Absolute Truth. Well, with Absolute Truth of course!
Yes, Pete has the gall to judge someone or an entire group of people with his bible but cannot see past the plank in his own eye. So the question begs to be asked…“What Bible quotes work against Peter LaBarbera?”
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
-Leviticus 19:26-281 “Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness. 2 “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd
-Exodus 23:1-26And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
- Leviticus 11:6-12
These are just some of the things which I’m sure Mr. LaBarbera has sinned against. But he gets to pick and choose the parts which he feels are OK to sin against. Far be it from me to judge.

20. January 2007 | 11:03 hI wrote about this the other day too. One of my friends, Jay Johnson, is running the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry, which is putting on that conference.
Here are a couple more quotes that seem to be written just for LaBarbera:
Prov. 30: “Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.”
Or Prov. 6:16ff:
16There are six things that the LORD hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
19a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.
It seems Peter, who has a lying tongue, whose heart devises wicked plans, feet who run to do evil and so on can be described as an abomination himself.
I still find it hard to believe that people pick and choose scripture when they know full well that there is someone out there who can fling it right back at them…

If you sort down through my post about the MO of AFTAH you can see where he likes something someone else wrote about Barack Obama and the mere simple fact that Obama picks and chooses which scripture to follow but in a more liberal sense.
