It's an abbreviation for homosexual, which is what gay means. Duh. To object to the term is to object to the concept, which I find fascinating. And Christ certainly mentioned sexuality when he condemned "pornea" in both Matthew and Mark.
You’re disingenuous ....duh.... I don’t object to the term homosexual ... using homo is derogatory and I am sure you know that... most straight and gays see it that way.
As for “porneia”.... that has been translated to mean a broad sense of sexual immorality, covering any gratuitous sex. So again, where in the New Testament does Christ specifically condemn it?
We are all sinners... Most what you will find in the New Testament, stated a hundred times over, calls us to treat others with love and respect; to be kind, to not hurt others, etc.
Also from Matthew - Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’
I am willing to bet that God will be more understanding of me, for treating all persons, gay or straight, with kindness and love, versus someone that spends their life trying to condemn all gay persons.
