Dwight, when you are talking about homosexuals, you are lumping in them with sinners again. There is much evidence that the Bible was translated incorrectly, and that in regard to Sodom and Gomorrah, it as idolatry and homosexual prostitution which was sinful. The Bible has been revised and translated numerous times. Some scholars would seriously argue that there are no prohibitions at all in the Bible against committed homosexual relationships.
And don't forget they did not know in the first century that homosexuality was genetic. That is why people who believe every word of the Bible is literally true live, in a very real sense, in the past. Jesus was a very modern fellow, a social activist, fighting for justice against the Romans. He would have been in the forefront of the civil rights campaign for homosexuals, I believe, if he were living now. |
