You keep confusing what Jesus said with what a bunch of anonymous long-dead guys said that he said.

Disagree with what? As long as we can read we know from the gospels what Jesus said about judging others. We also know from the gospels that Jesus never breathed one word about homosexuality. Nothing. Nada. So, who should even care why you or 'the majority' of Christians disagree over what Jesus did say and what He did not say when we can read the gospels for ourselves? As has already been pointed out to you, you keep confusing what Jesus said with what a bunch of anonymous long-dead guys said that He said. Have you actually read the gospels for yourself or do you get your 'divine info' from John McArthur, et al?

What does 'opinion' have to do with this? One more time, read the gospels for yourself and give these other biased sources a miss. You are only being duped by them. You will then see what Jesus says about those who cast judgment on to others while in no authoritative position to do so. Not one of us has the right to throw stones at another. Read the gospels, my friend. You will also see (once again I say) that Jesus said NOTHING about homosexuality! The 'out-sourcing' authors you recommend have an anti-gay agenda, mainly because their positions are dependent on their toeing the party line of their particular Christian denomination. No anti-gay message then it's the unemployment line for them. Do you not see this?
I can't see the video right now - so I don't know if it's the same video I had previously commented on... are you bring Vines back up again? ... mister Bible bait and switch the meanings of the text?

Let me know when these people drop the homosexual modifier - and they just refer to themselves as Christians.
Do Christians who have gambling issues call themselves gambling Christians? or porno Christians? ...or greedy Christians? No - they are just Christians. And as Christians we should be striving to decrease sin in our lives - which includes homosexuality.
Step 1 - stop identifying yourselves with your sin. Just be a Christian.
Homosexuals who are Christian are NOT identifying themselves with a sin, they are showing that it is NOT "sin" to be homosexual. How hard is it to understand that "Christianity" has been failing to understand the nature of the refernces to same sex activity?

Yet you provide no definitive answer that the bible verses Mr. Vines interprets contextually cannot be so interpreted.
As you do so often, you CHOOSE to interpret Scripture in a manner that demeans one group of people when an alternative view is available that offers them love and fellowship.
God will decide which of us has made the most grievous error.

The Bible calls out what sin is. It does not demean people.
