This is a must read by Dan Popp asking, “What Did Jesus Say About Homosexuality?” I am sure you will like what it says:

It says that God created them male and female for a reason. Creation involves design, and design reveals intent. Anything outside that design is artificial. It is joining together one man and one woman that conforms to Natural Law of which the Bible is the instruction manual.
The purpose of God’s creation of man and woman is more than the physical one. It is the perfection of his creation because it is also a spiritual one that can only come when the opposite sexes unite and become one flesh. All other methods are artificial and bring spiritual unfulfillment. This perfect spiritual unity is what Jesus spoke about when he called the church as a bride betrothed to him. What a perfect analogy. What God makes he makes perfectly.
One very important thing is left out here.
That Jesus cares, and that He wants righteousness restored by grace to all willing sinners. An excellent case is made by Popp that the practice is wrong. Nothing is said by Popp about restoring the sinners, or how. And this is the all too common sad case for today’s implementations of conservative Christianity. They can condemn; only with reluctance (if at all) can they lift. The whole Christian ex-gay scene, as best as I can see, has been shoved off into timid ghettos. God has got to be sick and tired of this pusillanimity!
thanks for the link, I will read it. Women also continue to play the part of Eve, by leading men away from God and his commandments. Beware women baring gifts.....of apples.
that was an outstanding article and full of ammunition...
