Quote: The word of God, Second Kings Chapter 2 Verses 23:24

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.


Sorry, where's the link between the curse and the bears' appearance? Could be a very convenient coincidence.
And, it's a pretty big leap of faith(!) to assume that what someone wrote as "the word of God" is in fact the word of God.

If I'm not mistaken, the link between the curse and the bears appearance occurs somewhere around the word "then". Curse "Then" Bears. Since it is in the bible it must be the word of God otherwise we can pick and choose what applies and what doesn't based on our personal preferences.

If so, pretty odd that the Gays today don't like him a bit for what he had to say.



LOL, of course not. He was in the closet, the worst kind
of religious zealot. Its like the guy on the city council
who is rabidly against child molestors, until he himself
is arrested for it.

There's a book out on this. According to this article the author has said he wants the homosexual community to be more accepting of Paul. I'm not offended to imagine Paul a homosexual per se, but I am offended by some of the assumptions that are being made, and I am never impressed by people with an agenda.
