What did Jesus have to say on the subject of homosexuality?eZoolander, what do you believe about Jesus?
EZoolander said:To be honest - I know a few gay people - and I know a couple of gay people that are married. None of them want to have anything to do with any church. They understand that "Christians" generally seem to look at them as the penultimate sinners - and as a result - they want very little to do with people "of faith".
Generally speaking - I think that's true - so this concern people have about the "gays now trying to force themselves on the church" I think is a bit misplaced.
(Shrugs) They shouldn't be marginalized. Yet, they are. Marginalization isn't truth, and its not love, nor a show of God's position. The behavior I have seen is more like a reviler, and yet to many endorse and enable that. So, it seems both sides don't know how to show the love of God I guess.
What I see is a clear loss of balance. That seems to be breeding hate and contempt. That's not good for anyone.
I'll never understand the homosexual passions like I do the heterosexual for obvious reasons. I refuse to show hate and contempt like I have seen over this debate - it makes me sick. I have also seen individuals that don't agree with the passions, but at the same time show compassion to those that do. I personally find that more balanced myself.
Just noticed this... its perfect to what many are saying:

What stances are you referring to that are causing you to find it so unbelievable?Link said:MkGal1, it's hard to fathom how you can believe as you do on this, considering some of your stances on other issues.
Absolutely. However....I don't believe this is a topic we can debate here....so I'll leave it at that.Do you care what God has revealed in the Bible?

What did Jesus have to say on the subject of homosexuality?
I'd like to see this much passion expressed over, oh, you know poverty .. child sex abuse .. the sex slave industry. But no. I have seen in the past few months, Christians stating that they will - divorce each other, kill themselves, set themselves on fire - if SSM becomes law. Why are they not setting themselves on fire metaphorically in their desire to help those in dire need?
But no. What consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes is more important. SMH.
So, you're telling me that because there is a law against sex slavery, it doesn't happen. Oh, okay. I believe you.I imagine if the Supreme Court was considering striking down laws prohibiting sex slavery in our country you might hear some outrage as well.
There's nothing hateful about upholding God's word. I've seen far more venom and hate coming from the LGBT community toward those of us who oppose it than those saying they don't agree with the lifestyle.
