Christians are Jewish spiritually

Hi RM

Don't throw homosexuality back at me. Go back and read my original post. What I said about the debate on same sex marriage was that no one on the religious side had articulated their religion objection to same sex marriage and when I kept asking you also refused. Am I wrong?

But from my fallen state as you put it, I keep asking questions of the god of the bible.
If homosexuality is so bad, why is it that he keeps creating them? Cannot you see the contradiction in god creating some thing and then telling you that you shall kill them and their blood is on their own heads?
The objections to homo sexuals is well defined in the old testament. How is it then that we can ignore other direct commands of the old testament?
So RM and Mr Gordon you like to quote the old testament about homosexuals. god's command is very specific. "You shall put them to death and the blood is on their heads." So are you willing to lead the charge? Obey your god. Start throwing the first rock so to speak?

"The direct action we see of Jesus in the Bible with homosexuality is that he partakes in the incineration of the Sodomites as an act of judgement for their actions."

RM, I would suggest to you not to include Jesus in sentences like that. You do Christians no favours, and I would further suggest that you may have missed the whole nature of Jesus.

Pear, God created the first human couple with the capacity to produce children. They were perfect until they willfully chose to do what would lead to their death. It was only after they were on the way to death that they produced children that were subject to sin and death as they were. - Romans 5:12; Job 14:4.
So God is not creating anything or anyone here on earth atm. Even the best intentions fail because of our inherited sinful inclinations, but we are assured it is still possible to be rescued.
(Romans 7:21-25) I find, then, this law in my case: When I wish to do what is right, what is bad is present with me. 22 I really delight in the law of God according to the man I am within, 23 but I see in my body another law warring against the law of my mind and leading me captive to sin’s law that is in my body. 24 Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death? 25 Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So, then, with my mind I myself am a slave to God’s law, but with my flesh to sin’s law.
