Homosexuality

[gerryh]

I'm having a problem finding citations from the New Testament where Christ condemned homosexuality. Anyone want to help me out?

It's all in the interpretation - and what the reader wants to read into it. Guess I just don't have that sort of fear/hate/intolerance/mean streak....

Sorry Man, as I'm not big on the bible studies, but do I smell a punchline?

Nope, no punchline. I know that we have a few Christians on CC that condemn homosexuality. I'm just looking for some citations where Jesus condemned homosexuals. I have not been able to find any.

 

[Ron in Regina]

OK then.

Good luck with that. He NEVER condemned any one but those pesky....

He did hang out almost exclusively with twelve guys. Just sayin'.

And a whole whack of chicks. Check the Book.

I did and a whole lot more. What it fails to address is his relationship with Mary Magdalene. I do believe they were married at the wedding where he changed water into wine.

It's possible.

It's possible.

I also believe that Mary was to be the foundation of his church, but the other men in the group could not handle playing second fiddle to a woman.

Not quite. The Church is the female and is why men are the servants of the Chruch.

Interesting concept. Haven't heard that one before.

Not interested in listening to some wind bag on you tube. Cite chapter and verse.

Then you're not really interested in the answer to your question. You're trolling:

waiting for an answer from the anti homosexual crowd.

 

[gerryh]

In other words, you can't cite chapter and verse. The reason you can't is that there is no reference to cite.

Sorry Gerry. You've been....

The one phrase they like to hang onto is that of men should not lie down with men or something
to that effect, but it never mentions Homosexuality.
You see the concepts Christ talked about were a blend of conservative and social democratic
philosophy. He talked about being responsible and he also talked about helping your neighbour
he spoke about paying your taxes fairly, he spoke about giving and being generous and most
of all forgiveness that is the hardest thing to do for many. People will pay taxes they will in fact
give generously to the poor and disadvantaged but forgive?
I have never seen a passage that mentions homosexuals in any formal statement.
