You said that fairness has nothing to do with justice. I proved you wrong, and you resorted to non-sequitur. Now, would you care to address MY point?

Fair, as mentioned in the Bible is only used to describe weather and women.
I asked you, using your provided definitions, to describe how any of the definitions, as applied to situations in the Bible, are not determined by the correct application of law or commandment. Are you saying this proof does not apply?

Fair, as mentioned in the Bible is only used to describe weather and women.

And it's synonymous with justice in modern usage. Are you saying that the Bible isn't concerned with justice, as well?

I was addressing a single, stupid argument: that the Bible isn't concerned with fairness. Not Biblical law. Is God just, or isn't He?

When the Bible mentions fair it describes weather and women. Justice, when it is applied to the correct application of the Law (and commandments) takes up a majority of the Bible.

God, I miss my ignore list! Do you EVER actually answer an argument?

God, I miss my ignore list!?

What, you can't ignore me without help?

Do you EVER actually answer an argument?

I'm waiting for you to explain how I haven't. Try and follow along.

If a God exists, there is not reasonable evidence that he opposes homosexuality.

It is well-known that today's copies of copies of biblical texts, often dating many centuries after they were originally written, contain many errors and interpolations, and those are only the obvious ones. Therefore, even if a God inspired the original Bible, it is impossible to reasonably establish in every case, including regarding the issue of homosexiuality, which parts God inspired and preserved free of errors.

A good example of a probably false claim in the Bible is the claim that guards were posted at the tomb.

If the Bible is partly supposed to be a book of rules, it left out many thousands of important issues, and many of the issues that it does mention should have been stated more clearly since even Christians themselves have established hundreds of denominations that disagree with each other regarding many issues. A book of rules that only mentions a few rules does not make any sense. On the other hand, a comprehensive book of rules would be too large for people to carry, and people who did not know how to read would not be able to read it, and would have to depend upon the integrity of the people who read it for them, and in some cases interpreted it for them. The only thing that makes sense to me would be if God communicated directly with everyone verbally, telepathically, or both. Written texts are a cumbersome means at best for a God to communicate with humans.

You're absolutely right: I should have remembered that conversations with you go nowhere. I should not have entertained the notion that years on this forum might have improved your ability to converse coherently. I won't make that mistake again.

You can have the last word now.
