is it just coincidence that YOU are also a gay socialist? I doubt it.. methinks you aren't really an atheist but you try to emulate your mistaken version of jesus. be honest, you wear a WWJD bracelet, don't you?
The unfortunate thing is that we can't really know what Jesus said. He may have actually said homosexuality is no big deal. It's too bad that the spirit of what he said gets supplanted by old words. I'm sure that were he aware that homosexuality is generally not a choice, he would be tolerant, sympathetic and accepting. Modern knowledge informs us of this. It was not known during the Bronze Age.
Just out of curiosity, while the old testament condemns homosexuality, what does Jesus have to say about it?
Since leftys always leave the real gospel out... I will quote the whole passage and put my thoughts in parentheses. I should note FC should not feel too bad... every leftist focuses on the money. ---- The Rich and the Kingdom of God 17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. âGood teacher,â he asked, âwhat must I do to inherit eternal life?â ( this is what most of us desire? ponce de leon etc.) 18 âWhy do you call me good?â Jesus answered. âNo one is goodâexcept God alone. (Therefore who is Jesus and how can this rich man claim to be good?) 19 You know the commandments: âYou shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.â[d]â (this is the law - can anyone be good under the 10 commandments?) 20 âTeacher,â he declared, âall these I have kept since I was a boy.â (really? -- I thought Jesus just told us only God is good. This is very similar to the cast the first stone parable and others) 21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. âOne thing you lack,â he said. âGo, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.â (if you wish to be perfect and have treasure in heaven... sell everything but you will still need follow God if you wish eternal life.) 22 At this the manâs face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. ( I think we all have to worry about this when considering how lacking in goodness we really are... so now once again how can sinners like us earn eternal life) 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, âHow hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!â (here is the point again) 24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, âChildren, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.â 26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, âWho then can be saved?â (rich or poor sinner or "saint" what does it take? 27 Jesus looked at them and said, âWith man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.â (no one is saved on their own merit or goodness... not preachers not rock stars not whores not married people... we all fall short of perfection) 28 Then Peter spoke up, âWe have left everything to follow you!â 29 âTruly I tell you,â Jesus replied, âno one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fieldsâalong with persecutionsâand in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.â -- In short its not about the money or the sins, we all fall short. Acting in faith on God's promises is that matters. Without God's grace none of us merit eternal life.
Nothing really. It would have been hypocritical for him to condemn homosexuality, as he was clearly gay himself.. Disciple = Socialist Butt Buddy. <a href="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php" title="Smiley"><img src="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing024.gif" alt="Smiley" border="0" /></a> HarbingerQ, you need to develop a sense of Humor. It is a godly attribute.
Yes, I think you're having fun. I've read some of the new testament and I haven't seen anything to indicate Jesus was gay. I think if anything He might have been tapping that whore, actually.
More total bullshit from you. Do you ever tire of being wrong. You are one fucked up dude. Jesus was all about helping the needy. This explains why you think two of the best Christians in the world are farces. You are simply clueless about what Christianity is. You are one twisted guy. Jesus preached socialist principles. As you treat the least, so you treat him.
