Christine, As long as you reject the fact that Jesus was God come to us in the flesh you will not arrive at the truth concerning Him. You seem to look for anything that fits your preconceived ideas and that doesn't upset your apple cart. Being born again is too upsetting to you so you reject it even though Jesus said plainly "you must be born again". Then Jesus doesn't treat the subject of homosexuals at all and from that you conclude He must approve of it! How ludicrous an assumption. As a christian with a good understanding of the word of God I assure you Jesus did not approve of homosexuality in any way and no saying to the contrary can be found. He told the adulterous woman "go your way and sin no more", confirming that adultery was a sin even though He would not stone her as the law required. His refusal to stone her was not a repudiation of the law concerning adultery. Just as the law says adultery is a sin so does it say homosexuality is a sin. At no time does Jesus ever nullify any part of the law, He fulfilled the whole law meaning He kept every ordinance. Including the ones about adultery and homosexuality. I know you want to believe in a "different Jesus" to ease your own anxiety, but you will only deceive yourself instead of finding any truths. Several movies have come out depicting Jesus doing all sorts of evil, sordid things. They are not true depictions of Jesus and His true character. They are only the imaginations of deluded men. <<I think you keep forgetting that Jesus was not even a Christian.>> Jesus is God. Through Him we become born again of His Spirit and are then His servants. Some have called us christians, the name has stuck. But it is just a label. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and none will come to the Father except through Him. Through Jesus we have everlasting Life. Through Jesus the debt that was being held against us is paid. The debt we could not pay has been cancelled. God said He will raise up a people for His namesake. The true christians are those people. Bob
