Christians - what is your opinion about homosexuality?

:coffee:

I know the quote, and that's not what it really means. And even if it were, that's from Leviticus, Smurfy. The same book with all the other old testament laws that Christians did away with because of Jesus' sacrifice. Leviticus is the same book that requires God's people be kosher as well, but you see no Christians following that rule.

That's typical Christian-pick-and-choose-what-to-believe bullshit. Either Jesus and our did away with all Levitical law, or it did away with none. You can't claim both. Idiot Christians quote that. If they believed Levitical law still had to be followed, they wouldn't be eating bacon and they'd be stoning people for no reason.

Annie, you know I love you...but Jesus disagrees with you, according to the bible at least.

Matthew 5:17-20 (NIV - not my favorite version, but most like it) “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

See you in hell honey! :)

(if you believe all that)
 
I'm not Christian, but I think homosexuality is yucky.

But then I think eating shrimp is yucky too.

If other people wish to engage in homosexuality, it bothers me about as much as when other people eat shrimp. i.e. it's their problem, not mine. Just don't ask me to do it.

So...you're a Jew! :)
 
The other few verses though, are either irrelevant to the Christian (but not necessarily Jewish) anti-homosexual argument (like OT laws)...

The OT is not irrelevant to the xtian according to the Jesus of the bible.

Unfortunately, sometimes people like to ignore facts and would prefer to run with a likely purposeful, and agenda-backed mistranslation.

Yes. I quite understand what you mean here. :)
 
Ok, so let's get this straight.

Joe was speeding. And because Joe was speeding, he lost control of his car, hit a school and killed 30 children.

So by this passage, it's obviously acceptable to kill 30 children because the real point is that you shouldn't speed.

correct.

Just because it is in the bible, does not mean Jesus really said it.
 
ceo, you do realize that you have to rightly divide the word of truth when you study the bible? Matthew is one the most difficult books in the bible, and the one people usually mess up. The Bible is written to three groups of people: Jews, Gentiles, and the Church. You can never base a doctrine using just a verse in Matthew. At the time Jesus said that the OT doctrine was still in effect, even though the books are in the NT. It also has divisions and you have to put the divisions in the right place.
