What have I said that is not backed up by scripture? I have read the Bible many times and have studied Bible history. Please educate me and tell me what I have said that is at odds with Jesus' own teachings. I'm all ears.
And just as you do at ToS you talk out your ass about being a Biblical "scholar"...but never can cite scripture to back up your Liberal view of what the Bible is and what it says.
So just as I did at CU let me educate a supposed "enlightened" thinker such as yourself.
Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses. So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else. (Matthew 23:1-3)Jesus said to "obey the laws of Moses".
Guess what that includes?
Jesus had no compassion or acceptance of homosexuals. This is just uninformed clap trap.
Haven’t you read,†he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.†- Matthew 19:5-6
But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.†- Mark 10:6-9Jesus is saying that sex outside the marriage...period...is a sin. Doesn't matter who it's with...male female...whether you go all the way or just play a little slap nd tickle.
Let's look at what one the Desciples says as well. From the Letters of Paul:
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. – Romans 1:26-27
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. – 1st Corinthians 6:9-10You've taken the compassion of Christ and twisted it into an acceptance of gays. This is the same kind of slippery slope loose interpretation of the Bible that allows Libs to claim that if Jesus were alive today he's be a Liberal like them. Neither could be further from the truth.
Jesus has compassion for man yes...but as long as rules are followed. He has no compassion for anyone who is commting sin...unless they repent and follow the word of God.
Now I'm just a Chriatmas and Easter church goer. I should go more but I don't. And I knew enough to blow your little theory about Jesus and gays right out of the water.
I'd hate to see what a scholar of the Bible...someone more "informed" like yourself would do to your hypothesis.
Now go ahead and once again accuse me of being "hung up on sexual preferences" or being "angry".
It's all you've got.
