Nor did Jesus condemn the adulterous woman, but He did tell her to go and sin no more. Bottom line: homosexuality is a sin that requires repentance, along with all other sin. You can try to normalize it all you want, but Jesus will not accept it.
And STILL no indication of harm done to ANYone by a same-sex committed relationship to justify designating it as sin.

You are NOT God and it isn't your place to determine if it's harmful or not. Simply put, Jesus does not accept homosexuality; the Scriptures bear that out.

Except they don't bear that out.
There are only the literal words, and not one of them says anything about "accepting" or not. The word is not used. You are not God so don't presume to be by putting your words in place of the literal words. If there is a place in the Bible where Jesus says he "does not accept" homosexuality - then quote it. Otherwise, stop paraphrasing and putting in YOUR own take on it.

It's ALL there, but you're too deaf and blind to see it because of your own lusts.
I sure hope that you use that Mark 10 passage to condemn all those divorced folks who sit in your church pews every week, scgraham! But, I'll bet that you don't ...do you? Why not? Why would you use that passage of scripture (an old ploy by the 'anti-gay fundies') to target gay people but not those to whom it ACTUALLY applies?
Glaring double standards and hypocrisy at work yet again. I don't know about others but I really can't take you guys seriously . . .

Oh yeah ...my deceit knows no bounds. And, I'm like a dog on heat and can barely contain my desires . . .
In actuality my typical lifestyle would probably qualify me to join a monastery. But why am I telling you this ...? You don't know me and I don't know you. We're simply words on a computer screen.

What was this 'homosexual community' to which you refer that Jesus NEVER acknowledged as being legitimate? You just made that up, of course. So, back to the question I asked of you. Do you use that Mark 10 passage to condemn all those divorced folks who sit in countless church pews every week? They BY FAR outnumber any gay people who might occupy the pews. If not, then why not? Please answer the question without any additional padding. If you don't have an answer then your hypocrisy and double standards will become evident to all. The same is true with Rbbi1 who has been ignoring me ever since I called her out on a particular issue.

All that is borne out is that YOU don't accept people who are different from you and you have NO valid reason, That's known as prejudice.

That's pretty much it, plain and simple. Folks such as scgraham only use the Bible to discriminate against people THEY personally don't like. If the Bible really meant anything to them they would not use it in such a manner. They use it only as a weapon for which, of course, it was NEVER intended. Such folks should be banned from carrying a Bible until they learn how to use it correctly. Even then they should not require directions from a book as to how to treat those who are different from themselves or those who hold beliefs that differ from their own with respect. I've noticed that scgraham is sadly wanting in that area.
