An awfully bold statement from an individual who seems to be terribly misled about the teachings of Christ himself. The Old Testament is a Jewish text which has little to do with the teachings of Christ. Jesus directly contradicted much of the Old Testament providing us with a far more humane belief system. As a Christian you are not referring to anything in the Old Testament so you must have mistakenly been taught that Christ condemned homosexuality as a sin which he most certainly did not. Also, as a supporter of "traditional" marriage I hope you also condemn interracial marriage. Now, considering that marriage is a Jewish institution and not Christian, it is worth noting that three out of the four major Jewish denominations support gay marriage and that neither you nor anybody else has the right to deny other religious groups the right to practice as they wish. Finally, several Christian churches also support same sex-marriage but that is hardly ancillary at this point. |
He also made a point that it is impossible for anyone to be without sin. He said just looking at a woman and having dirty thoughts is the same as commiting adultry. He also said anger in the heart twords another human is looked upon in the same dark light as murder.
Here is one of the most inportant excerts from the New Testement, Notice what Jesus says about homosexaulity:
And someone came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, which good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?”
But he answered him, “Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into that life, keep the commandments.”
The man said to him, “Which ones?”
And Jesus said, “Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t lie, honor your father and mother—love your neighbor as yourself.”
