@caesar-salad saidNo, that's not what I am saying at all.
So, you're essentially saying the Jews are to blame.
Reading comprehension FTW.
@suzianne saidOn the contrary, I would say it's more of an obscuring crust over the Light.
I've heard your limited opinion from others. I was interested in another Christian's point of view. I was responding to something he said. Not interested in a canned "Cause it's all crap" reply.
In John 8 Jesus says that those who have not sinned throw the first rock. When everyone left he then told the woman to leave her life of sin.
So it is with homosexuality today. Let those who have eyes see. Let those who do not have eyes continue to ramble on about falsehoods.
@eladar saidSir, I think that at root we might agree more than not. Of course we might wrangle over particulars, but where do those particulars (material, social, mental) come from?

Paul is often cast as some controversial character who both invented and corrupted Christianity.
But I think he also had the right idea about detaching from the sarx (usually translated as flesh), and we should consider that he did not only mean material sarx, but also mental sarx, the tissues of thought.
I don't mean to suggest that we should torch both matter and mind, but that we should be aware of these obstructions, and appreciate their ultimate Source.
@eladar saidWould it be "evil", to your way of thinking, in so far as it is informed by your religious faith, if homosexuals were incarcerated for being homosexuals and/or for engaging in homosexual acts?

@tom-wolsey saidYou still haven't cleared up the matter of why you cited [what you claimed was] your God's wish to "protect the bloodline" in your answer to the question about religious reasons to kill homosexuals [which is, after all, the topic being discussed on this thread].
Like a laser! And a badly aimed one at that. Pathetic twit.
@caesar-salad saidYou missed the point, but that is to be expected.
