Indeed, Jesus was the one who held up the coin and pointed out that it was Caesar's face upon it. "Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar." He literally said that your money belongs to the government. Jesus did not have the views you ascribe to him. He did not have modern political views.
And there is nothing to indicate that homosexuality (lust) was any higher on his list of sins than pride, gluttony, or sloth. For all you know, being morbidly obese would offend him more than being gay. You don't know. You just assume.
“He literally said that your money belongs to the government. Jesus did not have the views you ascribe to him.”
No, he didn’t say that. He said to give to God what belongs to God, and to give to Rome what belongs to Rome. You owe worship and allegiance to GOD, and taxes to Rome. Or, as Richard Wurmbrand interpreted it, Jesus was subtly suggesting we give God what HE deserves, and Rome what THEY deserved - as viewed by a first century Jew!
“For all you know, being morbidly obese would offend him more than being gay. You don’t know. You just assume.”
“They say they are wise, but they are fools; 23 instead of worshiping the immortal God, they worship images made to look like mortals or birds or animals or reptiles.
24 And so God has given those people over to do the filthy things their hearts desire, and they do shameful things with each other. 25 They exchange the truth about God for a lie; they worship and serve what God has created instead of the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever! Amen.
26 Because they do this, God has given them over to shameful passions. Even the women pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts. 27 In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they bring upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing.” - Romans 1
Admittedly, Paul is leading up to saying we are ALL sinners, and I fully believe gluttony - which is different from “morbid obese” - truly IS as good at separating us from God as homosexuality is. But while all sins separate us from God, some sins are more defiant of God than others - and/or more harmful to society! You don’t have to live around many animals to realize taking it up the butt is an unnatural sex act! It is hard to give a bigger Middle Finger Salute to God than that!
But while I agree all sin separates us from God, the liberal “Christians” want me to accept homosexuality while rejecting societal sins. Racism bad - which it is, but it is EASY to “repent” of society’s racism sins while then ignoring our own, favorite PERSONAL sins. Liberals “repent” of the sins of others while refusing to repent of their own!
“You don’t know. You just assume.”
Spoken like someone who rejects scripture as being “God-breathed”, to use the Apostle Paul’s term. Jesus repeatedly quoted scripture: “It is written” while liberal “Christians” ignore it because “the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” - Hebrews 4
We don’t need to “assume” what God accepts or rejects. He has told us in ample detail.
