An acquaintance once used this very line on me.
I responded with, “Jesus is God. Do you think God the Son and God the Father disagreed on this and are hashing it out up in heaven as we speak?” Impossible - they are one.
When God the Father wrote that homosexuality is an abomination, that was also God the Son.

Good point, and certainly consistent with the Bible. The only problem with it is that almost nobody among modern Christians or Jews supports following all the commandments attributed to the God of the Old Testament (or the New Testament, for that matter) — even if they say that they do. He not only said that homosexuality is an abomination but said that homosexuals should be killed (witches also, and if I recall correctly, children who curse their parents — a “damn you” could get them a death penalty), and a good many other offenses that I don’t feel like looking up right now.
Most modern Americans would choose to allow recognition of homosexual marriage rather than accept everything said in the Bible. Doing so would also mean no sex outside marriage by heterosexuals, and no divorce and remarriage (in most cases). Also many of the New Testament passages say to store up treasures in heaven instead of on earth and to live a spiritual life rather than be concerned about material possessions. That’s not what most Americans — or people anywhere — are doing.
The right needs to be careful in how it opposes Obama on this issue, else it will win the argument but lose the election. I think it should be framed as Obama further weakening the respect given to traditional marriage (and it should be pointed out that adult homosexuals can already live as couples and have their unions recognized. It’s just reserving the term “marriage” for heterosexual unions that’s at stake.) If the issue becomes homosexual marriage versus concepts that have a good bit of resemblance to Shariah law, I think homosexual marriage will win.
