. The question is should they be able to serve openly and flamboyently about their lifestyle. Actually the question on this thread is Should homosexuals serve in the military?
Only you have added the addendum of "serving openly."

Jesus made that call when he declared all foods clean... New public revelation continued until the death of the Apostle John around 100 A.D. Okay, you stated the bible was revised until 100AD and Jesus made all foods clean, why wasn't this change incorporated or edited from Lev.? The Church made that call when it switched the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Some business are open on Sunday, what's your point here? People still work on somebody's sabbath.
Is the bible some sort of living document that we can update and change as necessary? It should. Again, great, and who gets to make that call. I got it, let's have some formal organized religious body to interpret the meaning of the bible and base our laws and society on that with no appeal process. We can pattern this after... lets see now.... oh yeah, the Taliban, that's it!!!
When did Jesus, a practising Jew, make all foods "clean"? To my recollection, he only "stressed" that it is what comes out of one's mouth not what goes it that makes one unclean -- this doesn't imply all foods are clean (Jesus also said, that He came not to destroy the Law/Torah but to fulfill it).
Second, it was Constantine who decided to make the Christian Holy Day Sunday rather than Saturday (the true Shabbath according to the Torah/Old Testament) because he was also worshipping the Sun God and Sunday was its day.

Hey, they changed the poll to do we want Bush calling in the ex-presidents for diplomatic sh$t. Only if they add Nixon to the list.

I think HJ was trying to outline the Scriptural position on homosexuals. Which isn't favorable. OT sanctions etc. have to be read with the understanding that they are representative of their time; it's the particulars that are anachronistic, not the basic concepts.

Should Homosexuals serve in the Military? No. Furthermore, they should be imprisoned for draft dodging. Homo-hood is a choice, a sick, perverse choice that makes a person totally unfit for military duty . . . Like shooting yourself in the foot to avoid combat and your duty, a cowardly offense.

...or they have not served in the military.In Air Force basic training you all sh*t, shower, shave, and sleep in the same bay together, at all times. Even after that I had to share a room in the barracks with another airman all the time I was in. You can't force straight males or females to live and share rooms with gay people, it just will not work! How about being crammed together in a Navy rack on a aircraft carrier or sub?? No way. If they ever do this they will have to start up the draft to get enought normal people to join the military. What if you have a family and kids and all these gay soldiers are walking around base with their boyfriends, kissin and...ecccch! I wouldn't want my kids to see stuff like that!

I think praticing homosexuality is a sin. So is adultery, lying and gossip. The military is full of sinners, as is the world. If homosexuals want to fight for their country, I'd say "Go for it." I'm assuming they would keep their sexual practices priviate, as should heterosexuals.

I just don't see any point in bringing up the OT unless you actually believe in it.

Good point. Which is why I just say, "Because I don't like flamers, that's why."

Homo-hood is a choice, could you do it?
