Did Christ preach that being a woman was a sin?

Your comment made no sense at all?

It made no sense, because it took NMH's comment at face value. That was the point...

Okay, here is your post that I was responding to:

First, you quoted the other poster when he said: "Think Christ would employ a non repentant homosexual as one of His disciples? I doubt it.

With me so far?

And then you replied with this:

"Christ didn't employ women as disciples either...and your point is?"

And that is when I asked if you equated a woman with someone indulging in homosexual activity? You implied that the reason that Christ had neither as disciples was the same -- like women were sinners by virtue of being women. A woman cannot repent for being a woman and change (even with surgery, she is still a woman). Christ had other reasons for not including women, but it had nothing to do with sin.

A homosexual can leave that lifestyle, repent and be forgiven for his past and Christ could have selected (not employed) him as a disciple.

Do you understand that although Christ walked among sinners, he did not have them (including unrepentant homosexuals) as his disciples? Your comparison was a non sequitor. That was my point.
