Dead sea scrolls say it is the same over the centuries. It has not been diced , edited to mean anything different.
You might want to read this on the development of the Biblical canon as we know today. I'd always thought it was the council of nicea that decided, but apparently it took many centuries.
We already talked about Judas, and as for the others, they had obeyed His command "sin no more" and abandoned willful and habitually sinful lifestyles. None of them (except Judas) were habitual sinners, and Judas was what he was because his was meant to betray Jesus.
Not you. My comment was in reference to those who always play the "offended" card.
Sorry.
You know, I've always felt sorry for Judas. What an awful task.
Oh, Jesus does approve of people who love and care for other people.We agree on that.. It is the sexual act between two same sex people Jesus does not approve of.. a man can love a man, a woman can love a woman, but when they cross the line into a sexual relationship that is wrong according to God. Don't compare love with a sexual act.
With everything going on in the world, do you actually think that Jesus is concerned with what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their home?
Children are starving. Innocent people are being slaughtered all over the world. But Jesus cares about the genitalia of two people who love each other.
I am starting to dislike your Jesus more and more.
It is a simple question: Would Jesus have allowed practicing homosexuals to follow him?
Unfortunately you cannot express an opinon about these issues without offending the homosexuals. Unless you agree 100% with them, and condone/approve/promote their sins, you will be labeled as a "hater", "bigot", "unloving" etc, etc. Getting personal, and faking anger is an old trick, and it just won't work with me anymore.
That's because the only answer to this question is "yes." There are no conditions on it whatsoever.
If posters want to say that homosexuality is wrong and/or Jesus wouldn't approve of that lifestyle, that's their choice. But if you put any conditions on practicing gay people to follow Jesus, then you are limiting Jesus' reach, and that goes against everything the Bible says Jesus is about.
Jesus would have welcomed the religious leaders of His day following Him too. They chose not to.
Christian + Conservative = RWNJ
But will criticize lefties for being immoral, never looking at their own or at themselves. Everyone is a sinner except thee.
