You could go on and on and dig yourself deeper and deeper into a vain attempt to absolve yourself of sin. No one is born with the desire to burn anything down or kill anyone. These are learned attitudes.
What, precisely, do you imagine Jesus meant when he warned that to commit adultry in one’s mind is as sinful as the act of adultry?
There are hard lessons taught here. One is that we are responsible not simply for controlling our murderous intent but ridding our minds of the very thoughts that give rise to acts of sin.
There is nothing simple about ridding our lives of sin. We are wholly incompetent to the task. Christ offers us a new mind to replace the old man of sin.
No, my brother, we are not born with sin in our hearts. We are born into a world of sin that seeks our destruction from our first breath. Certainly, the very notion that homosexual desire is native to our psyche is just such a corruption.
We are not asked to overcome our desire for licentuous behavior. We are asked by God to remove it root and branch from our minds and souls.
IOW, he has decided that people should not be allowed to get help in leaving the homosexual lifestyle, even by their own choice.

“Perhaps Christie can point to the chromosomes that cause homosexuality”
They’re identified as homosomes.
Okay, got it. Now, what does that have to do with legislation.
It is legal for a person born of one sex to become the other sex.
It is legal to change your sex physically so why should it be illegal to change your sex mentally. How is that the business of any government?
“You can’t deprive someone of treatment that wants treatment.”
That’s right. A boy born a boy can get surgery to “change his sex.” No problem with a double standard there.
No, he's sucking up to plutocratic (because no kids) homosexual political PACs and donors.
Gotta be where the big money is.
Karl Rove and Mary Matalin pioneered that one during the 2000 GOP Convention, when the Christian Coalition got fobbed off with box lunch and a worthless, faithless speech by Karl Rove, while Matalin and Dubya pressed the flesh, grepped and grokked with the Loggies across town -- literally simultaneously.
Looks like Christie is trying to edge out macain and Lindsay Graham for that top RINO spot.
I still think Rubio is top RINO. While the fatass’s betrayals are more numerous, Rubio’s betrayal was far more severe. Amnesty will destroy this country for good.
That's the problem with the Catholic religion...The scriptures are not their final authority...
As long as Biden, Pelosi, Christie, the Kennedys....and all the others believe whatever they want to believe and the church says nothing about it, the church is condones it.
And thank God for that.
Thank goodness conservatives won’t have to be pall-bearers.
you believe no one is born psychotic or with various psychological problems?
Can you say piano crate? I knew you could.
he looks like a baby come here u im bigger than you im higher in the food chain get in my belly.
What a FILTHY SCUM Cristie is
I hate to be a downer but the US will never have another truly Christian President
For sure I hope I am wrong
Christie will NOT get my vote for dog catcher much less President. He may as well hang it up if he thinks he could be elected. Just another RINO/CINO.
