Thanks. As long as you've summoned me back, I'm going to cross-spam another thread. Yes!
When you wrote:
OH YEAH! I remembered that Jesus said that he didnt come to condemn the law but to fulfill it and the law (the Old Testemant) states that homosexuality is wrong!
...Your logic may be a bit faulty, here.
Your first proposition is that that OT states homosexuality is wrong.
Your second proposition is that Jesus said he didn't come to condemn the law, but fullfill.
Therefore, you conclude Jesus would have condemned homosexuality--but you never define "the law" as Jesus would have understood it, or applied it. "The law" isn't identical (as far as I can tell, and I'm admittedly a tyro at this) to the OT, but probably refers to Mosaic Law. What's more, he doesn't speak of "agreeing with" or "following," but "fulfilling," which is a word that implies an absence that needs to be met. Presumably, Jesus wouldn't have implied that every Jew was incapable of meeting the letter of Mosaic law. I have to wonder whether he was referring to the spirit of that law; and whether he ever had in mind, during that passage, actually killing gays, the traditional, legal punishment for the crime. I strongly doubt the latter, given his actions and remarks on other occasions, but I could be wrong.
