Amazing, that is why Orthodox has remained the true religion and why we split from the other religious faith. I will not turn this into a religious debate so I will stop it right here.

Is that why Orthodox Priests do not have pedophiles? Getting back on track, ask your bud what his issue is. His transient belief in god does not sit well here. He decries the very person you and he ignore, that gay/lezzie will give his life for your right to post on here. yet, you want to boot him/her out of the military if they remain within the policy. You don't even know jack how accurate this article is. Yet, you decry his service. I personally could not care less if he was a fag or not. if he did his job and did it honorably, a good soldier, a good leader/nco, so be it.

Since you will not answer my question... probable because you will find that Jesus was a man and was not against judging people, I will answer it for you. I don't care what religion you are, titles don't impress me. I do care what Jesus says..

First off...

Jesus affirmed the Mosaic Law even to the keeping of the "least of these commandments" (Mat. 5:17-19). He blasted the Pharisees for giving their own ideas precedence over God’s commands:

"Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say..." Mat. 15:3-4

"For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." [Jesus] said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother’; and `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say..." Mark 7:8-11

Jesus defended the OT laws... and HE condemed those that would give to their own traditions of ignoring them. Just as you ignore those that spit in God's face with their homosexuality.

Christ was not at all embarrassed over His Father’s commands. Jesus repeated these commands without caveat or reservation. Guess Jesus was a real man, not a hide from the bushes and screamer of "not real Christian"...

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

I don't want to be the called the "least" in the kingdom.. You must...
