Sorry. You can't choose who you're attracted to.

Way to try to get out of the whole logic and reason thing, though. It was a valiant effort.

Yeah well he is not that sly...I learned how to get out or avoid traps a long time ago..

You didn’t ask what Christianity preaches. You asked a hypothetical question about what Jesus would approve of. I am not completely convinced that they are the same thing.

rheff's question, which I think is a valid one, is what do you think Jesus would preach about homosexuality?

Autodidact · #**675** 05-29-2008, 05:14 PM

Here is a long, interesting essay on the subject, of particular interest to Christians.
I disagree, rheff, that you have to believe that Jesus existed to discuss his theoretical views. One could certainly discuss a fictional character's actions or views.
It seems to me that if Jesus thought it was a serious problem, he would have addressed it. Taking Christianity as true, Jesus had a limited time on earth to address humanity, and He chose to use that time to preach about loving one another and loving one's enemies, so I think it's safe to say that's what He thought was important, don't you?

Yeah, stone them to death.

Yes he does. What Christian think effects everyone(if they practice what they preach).

Dallas, if you think Jesus is ok with a homosexual lifestyle, that's what I was asking for. See, ti wasn't so hard. I'm not trying to trap anyone, I wanted an answer that for some reason Dallas refused to answer. NOW, Dallas went somewhere that I can't believe she went with my views on abortion. Dallas, I keep things in check, I NEVER went off on you for your choices on abortion. If you would like to debate that further, please start a thread. And, IMHO (and I would think most Christians) we believe what christianity preaches IS what Jesus taught. But I don't expect the non-christians on here to agree with that. To me, they are one in the same.

I did answer the question..I said He "may" be fine with it..So please stop making things up..I did not "refuse" to answer the question..And again I dont know why you feel you have authority over me to tell me to start another thread if I say something you dont like..I will post as I see fit as I have told you before unless directed otherwise by a moderator.

Blessings

Personally, I assume that He wouldn't say anything to her about it at all, since that seems to be His approach to the topic in the Gospels.

So an outside observer, it did seem like you were trying to set a trap of the "there is no support for your position, therefore my contrary one should be accepted" variety.

I think that if that were true, foot-washing would be considered a Sacrament.
