Sure, but there could be abuse in any household. This photo is just a photo. It’s not evidence of abuse as your post seems to suggest. Parents kiss their children. That’s normal.
Some researchers have claimed that the relationship between Jonathan and David was a homosexual liaison. Does the Bible support that view? Consider the following points.
"The Bible verses used to support that view do not really suggest a sexual relationship. Often cited are David’s words about Jonathan: “More wonderful was your love to me than the love of women.” (2 Samuel 1:26) Some also refer to the verses that mention that the two men kissed each other. (1 Samuel 20:41) However, such words and expressions of affection between two men were quite common in Bible times and in the culture of the ancient Middle East, without suggesting anything sexual at all.—1 Samuel 10:1; 2 Samuel 19:39.
Both men were married to women and fathered children. David had several wives and many children. (2 Samuel 5:13-16) Jonathan’s wife is not named, but he fathered a son named Mephibosheth, or Merib-baal.—2 Samuel 4:4; 1 Chronicles 8:34.
Both men were loyal to God’s Law. Jonathan and David had in common their faith in and love for Jehovah God, and they swore their oath of friendship “in the name of Jehovah.” (1 Samuel 20:41, 42) Obedience to Jehovah was thus a high priority for both men, and God’s Law clearly condemned all forms of sexual immorality, including homosexual acts. (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13) So to imply that David and Jonathan had homosexual relations is to deny the very foundation of their friendship.
Nothing in the Bible suggests that either Jonathan or David had homosexual leanings or that there was anything sexual about their friendship. To state otherwise is to read something into the account that simply is not there."
Interesting explanation for a strip tease. I don’t buy it—known too many married men who swore to uphold Gods law. David certainly was devoted to Bathsheba....
I'm not a biblical scholar but I'm pretty sure we aren't expected to love neighbors all dressed up in leather dog suits with their ass cheeks hanging out.

It is far from normal to take any child to witness faggot brand of degeneracy. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

I have small tolerance for small minds, and less for blind hatred.

Hi,
Hatred of faggots is not "blind," it's base's on their behavior and forms a huge part of almost all cultures
Are you perhaps Jewish?

I am a Christian. My teacher tells me to love my neighbor as I love God. Who do you follow?

God hates sodomy and the perverting of his innocent children with it.

Hatred is the illusion that there is no God

Your god is the devil, the father of hatred, lies, and illusions. Divine sovereignty is divine love, perfect love, perfect peace.

I'm just following the Bible and Yahweh, but yes, Luciferians and Satanists call my God the devil and the father of lies.

Such knowledge and scholarship, surely you can explain the love of David and Jonathan?
