Why don't we first try to address the issues Jesus preached about, then once we have mastered those, we can start working on what Paul and Timothy think.
So you believe Paul was wrong in Romans for dissing sodomites? Or do you believe that Paul was speaking for God, as in inspired, but not speaking for Jesus?
I said what I mean, and I mean what I say. Jesus has enough opportunity to state that opposing homosexuality was the most important thing in the world for his followers did. Do you think he forgot to mention that fact, and had to wait to blind Paul for it to be pointed out? I am not stating that Jesus was pro homosexuality. That is not my point whatsoever. I am talking about context. What was the most important message that Jesus wanted to share. Sermon on the Mount? Sermon on the plains?... I do question those who make Paul's message more important that Jesus' message. You can oppose homosexuality... but to do it while not promoting charity, compassion, meekness seems to be very twisted to me.
If Jesus rose up and spoke on the Sermon on the mount railed for an hour against homosexuality, and then said... oh by the way... love one another, the meek shall inherit the earth, yada yada yada... but most importantly, let's go speak out against gays first before I even tell ya about that Samaratan fellow, I would see the point.
Maybe they have a point. ;O)
Is Horowitz a Christian (or a Jew)? That would put anything he says about Christ and Christians in perspective. Personally, I couldn't care less what a non-Christian has to say about the bible.
