Mark, everything you said is highly relevant and true. I am still waiting for a cogent
explanation of how the scribe made an error. Either the Bible is accurate or it is not,
correct? It seems that there is little search for truth, but much convolution to prove
certain points and disprove others.
I have presented tracts here written by Christian ministers and theologians explaining
how the words in Leviticus were mistranslated, and that homosexuality itself was not
the sin under attack, but men having sex with angels, temple prostitution, and
heterosexuals having homosexual sex. Totally unnoticed in the larger discussion is
giving up young girls for sexual favors. So is that acceptable behavior? And when I
remark that Jesus does not mention homosexuality at all, no one ever responds.
Anyway, the most positive and loving and tolerant and gracious and spiritual ideas
communicated on this thread often just lie there, seemingly ignored. I think they must
be very disturbing!! The essential spirit of Christianity, and the truth that is found in all
the great religions, is often very difficult to find, however. |
