Jesus was saying that the old laws are wrong. (I believe there were 864 such laws, including killing of unruly children). If the churches are following the Bible, how many have stoned any adulterers in their congregations lately?<\/p>\n
He never directly preached on the gay syndrome, which is too bad. I am proud of the Episcopal Church selecting a woman as the Presiding Bishop and selecting a Bishop on his ability, even though he is an open and practicing gay. They are abiding by the American documents that state “All men are created equal.” The gay people are created in the same way the so-called straight people are, and we are all supposedly created in God’s image. If God got it wrong with some people, by other people’s standards, go fight with God. I personally feel that it is just too easy for the majority to gang up on a small portion of the people.<\/p>\n
I also realize that a couple of Timothy and Paul’s epistles talk against gays, but they certainly were not proofread by Jesus since he was dead. Those epistles were selected from many by people 2,000 years ago and who knows what their agenda was.<\/p>\n
Very simply, if you want to call yourself a Christian, follow the teachings of Jesus.<\/p>\n
