Jesus did directly address homosexuality; you just won't accept His deity. Who is Jesus?

You should go re-read my comments as to what I said, not what you think I said.

I defended the position that Jesus did speak inflammatory and divisive rhetoric. It may not seem like inflammatory and divisive rhetoric to you, but it was to many and still is.

I also said that a peoples turning from God (for whatever reason) has lead to His removal of protection. This concept is well documented and though causes range (baby killing, paganism and sexual immorality are a few) the fact remains that God will allow trouble. There is nothing wrong with taking note that something changed and that we may need to look inward.

This does not take away the fact that the terrorist are responsible for their actions, my sin does not cancel out yours. It only means that the sins and atrocities of the Ammonites could be allowed to harm the children of Gilead. A consequence of a world without God, a world they choose when they turned from God.

And yes lying, adultery, lust, greed, gossip and self-righteousness are sins that WILL lead to judgment. Individually or collectively it will come.

God would have spared Sodom had he found just a few more faithful, do we have enough?

And yet to whom much is given, much is expected. And we have been given much more that Sodom.

I "won't accept His deity"????

How can you claim to be speaking for the the Word of God and yet repeatedly post such dishonest accusations against me?
Would you like me to list all the false and unfounded accusations you have made against me in your attempt to avoid admitting you were wrong about what Jesus said in the Bible?

Accusing me of wanting to "remove Christ from the Bible",of going "against the foundational principle of God in three persons" of wanting "to believe that it [homosexuality] is permissive for a Christian or that it is not a sin".

Not only are these statements the opposite of my beliefs but there is nothing in any of my posts that justify your making such wild and reckless accusations.

You need to apologize.
