    None of the Bible verses you quote are from Jesus. They either come from the Old Testament or were written after Jesus' death, most likely by Paul ...

    God bless.

    pshawwwwww dear glo.. you need to look up the definitions of all those terms along with some serious bible study.. Not sure otherwise how much longer you can assume that role of ditsy and misunderstood? It is getting stale..
    Backbite, is to speak behind your back no? That would seem more your style (like you used to in the mixed female section away from prying eyes) I write for all to see.. and well slander is a terrible term especially when google is so filled with articles contrary to the Christianity you profess..

    However two questions remain..
    is Jesus the same god of the OT? or did he have a personality change?
    and how much of the bible can you actually attribute as to having been said by Jesus?

    all the best

    There shall be no ***** of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a *****, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
    deut 23:17-18

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday visited the Tel Aviv gay youth center 08-06-09 - ynet news

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday a gay father waiting in India with his infant twin sons due to the Interior Ministry's refusal to administer a paternity test must be allowed to come back to Israel. haaretz 19-02-2011

    Israel
    Main article: LGBT rights in Israel
    The State of Israel inherited its sodomy ("buggery") law from the British Mandate of Palestine but there is no record that it was ever enforced against homosexual acts that took place between consenting adults in private. In the late 1960s the Supreme Court of Israel ruled that these laws could not be enforced and they were formally repealed by the Official legislature in 1988. The age of consent for both heterosexuals and homosexuals is sixteen years of age.
    wikipedia

    Sodomy was historically known in England and Wales as buggery, and is usually interpreted as referring to anal intercourse between two males or a male and a female. In England and Wales Buggery was made a felony by the Buggery Act in 1533, during the reign of Henry VIII. The punishment for those convicted was the death penalty right up until 1861. A lesser offence of "attempted buggery" was punished by 2 years of jail and some time on the pillory. In 1885, Parliament enacted the Labouchere Amendment,[24] which prohibited gross indecency between males, a broad term that was understood to encompass most or all male homosexual acts. Following the Wolfenden report, sexual acts between two adult males, with no other people present, were made legal in England and Wales in 1967, in Scotland in 1980 and Northern Ireland in 1982. The three UK crown territories also did this as well since 1983 in Guernsey, since 1990 in Jersey and also since 1992 on the Isle of Man.

    That may have made sense back when underpopulation was an issue. But isn't the problem now leaning more towards overpopulation?

    Is God's saving grace for sinners one of the churches' ploy to increase revenues?

    It's one thing to tolerate and even accept sinners, but to actually give blessings to a sin so heinous it is clearly strictly prohibited in the bible?

    Next, thieves could go march to churches and demand that their "work" be blessed by the church.

    Oh wait, it already happened.

    I don't think gay people do very well unfortunately even if they convince themselves and society that it is a normal variant .. every other day there is an overdose or a suicide .. today it was the Narnia producer dying from an apparent overdose even though he is openly gay and appeared happy..

    The aim of our research was never to spread more homophobia, but to demonstrate to an international audience how the life expectancy of gay and bisexual men can be estimated from limited vital statistics data. In our paper, we demonstrated that in a major Canadian centre, life expectancy at age 20 years for gay and bisexual men is 8 to 21 years less than for all men. If the same pattern of mortality continued, we estimated that nearly half of gay and bisexual men currently aged 20 years would not reach their 65th birthday.

    Re: Gay Couples are to be Allowed to Marry in Churches.

    Nothing like a selective quote, is there?

    How about

    In contrast, if we were to repeat this analysis today the life expectancy of gay and bisexual men would be greatly improved. Deaths from HIV infection have declined dramatically in this population since 1996. As we have previously reported there has been a threefold decrease in mortality in Vancouver as well as in other parts of British Columbia.
    Although I think the thread is best summed up by

    From these reports it appears that our research is being used by select groups in US and Finland to suggest that gay and bisexual men live an unhealthy lifestyle that is destructive to themselves and to others. These homophobic groups appear more interested in restricting the human rights of gay and bisexuals rather than promoting their health and well being

    this thread is about gay marriages in church, not about some gay human rights.

    Isnt it interesting that the state tried to force the church to allow gay marriage in church on the basis of human rights, while at the same time oppressing the rights of the religious folks who uphold the tenets of their religion which does not even allow the practice of homosexual acts.
