The Bible contains the teachings of Jesus. However, it also contains the teachings of many others that do not necessarily coincide with them. For instance, many seem to supercede the teachings of Jesus with the Old Testament or the teachings of Paul. Unfortunately, this keeps them from hearing the words of Jesus.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneHey, I'm not saying that we should obey the Levitical law. Just pointing out that the Bible DOES indeed have something to say about homosexual activity, regardless of whether or not it is between 2 consenting adults. And that "something" is, it's a sin.
Are there any Christians that observe all of Levitacal Law? Do you? If not, why not?
Jesus did not support all that is contained in the Old Testament. Follow the teachings of Jesus. The truth will make you free.

Do you believe the following is considered a sin? If not, why so with the verse on homsexual activity?
Leviticus 19:27
"You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard."

Here's one that Christians don't seem to observe and remain unrepentant about.
Leviticus 19:27
"You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard."

Do you "wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together"?
You continue to show your hypocrisy borne of bigotry.

Perhaps some day, you'll come to know the teachings of Jesus.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt was you that claimed there were principles. Looks like you are going with your usual 'descend into madness' routine that you use when you have no answer to a question.
what are you talking about, you are clearly quite delusional now, what principles in regard to what, not required to follow what? duh?
