Reply #178: Can it please be clear that I don't believe what I argue in this post. [View All]

I am an atheist, so the whole Jesus thing is a myth to me. But I have had a difficult time in the past with people misinterpreting my posts.

So, again, to be clear, I don't agree with what I argue here.

The sermon on the mount makes it clear that Jesus is not taking away the old laws (i.e. the old testament) but that he is fulfilling them. Matthew continues to go on to the "pluck out your eye" if you look at a hot chick line. All of this is in Matthew 5 somewhere around 10-30 (been a while since the old seminary days).

That alone seems like a pretty clear indication that the old testament would still apply. Hence Leviticus is NOT out an still is the law.

I can turn it on you, too, and ask where does Jesus specifically deny what Phelps says about homosexuality. The answer is nowhere.

Hebrews 13(?) does tell us that the marriage bed should remain undefiled which would include both heterosexual and homosexual affairs.

1 Corinthians somewhere about the beginning of 6 tells us that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of god. Of course it is a big long list of people that won't, but it is there in the new testament. Now I know it is vogue of people to say Paul wasn't a real christian, but, hey, he made the cut and is in the bible, so he has some juried publication going for him.

Jesus says in Mark 10 that god created male and female and that marriage is between the two sexes which would indicate that homosexuality is not the norm and not what god wanted.

How about we turn to Luke. Jesus says in Luke 10 that god was right with what he did to Sodom.

That's enough rememberin' for now. Clearly to say there is no argument for homosexuality being wrong according to christ is a little disingenuous.
