"I don't find anywhere in Scripture where Jesus is talking about homosexuality as a sin," says the Rev. Kim Smith King, senior pastor of North Decatur Presbyterian Church in Atlanta and co-moderator of More Light Presbyterians, a group supporting gay clergy.

The good Reverend needs to go back and read Exodus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers. It can't get much clearer, and you just can't cherry pick the Bible.

Yes, and he might do well to read what Jesus said about the Books of Moses.

John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

Luke 24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

The real problem is that they have set themselves as the authority OVER the word of God, they feel free to pronounce it wrong or in error and they will tell you what it would have said if God was to re write the Bible today. In a Church I used to attend I wondered why the new "conservative" minister was unconcerned. I found out when, to allay my objections told me the Moses did not write any of the books of Moses, Oh... except perhaps the Ten Commandments.

He could not give me even one reason to defend this belief he was unable to substantiate his view in any way what so ever. It was what he believed as he had been told so in college.

All the gay clergy/marriage/rights crowd are the same they simply reject the Word of God so have no problem with scripture contradicting then. They just ignore it.

Is that before or after he tore Genesis out of it?

The "good Reverend" isn't interested...you can find the same admonitions in the NT. Paul, I guess, does not speak with authority.

The so called "pastor" better re-read the Gospels and do a little exegesis this time. In both Matthew and Mark Jesus condemns "fornication" vehemently. The Greek word which is translated there as fornication is "pornea". In every Greek lexicon you look at "pornea" is defined as any improper sex and always includes adultry, sex out of marriage, homosexuality and bestiality. Thus, Christ most certainly did condemn homosexuality. Pornea always includes homosexuality. Looks like contemporary Pastors (or some at least) need to spend a little more time reading and studying God's word.
