[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bible tells you not to do a lot of things that we do every day without thinking about it.  [b]Why do you ignore those rules?[/b]

Because The Bible isn't meant to be literal.  I think the most important aspects of Christianity are about love and helping your neighbor.  Giving and putting out love into the world.  Accepting people from all walks of life and showing them love.  Those stories are the power behind the Christian religion.  Any preacher who rallies behind hate and shunning and looking down on is Doing It Wrong.  At least in my book.[/quote]

OP here.  Because they are in the Old Testament.  But the New Testament condemns, very plainly, sexual deviance and homosexuality.  I guess my feeling is, if we start picking and choosing from the New Testament, we are just ignoring what Christianity is.  At the same time, I do not see the moral "wrongness" of homosexuality.  I am not some sort of expert, but I have read the whole Bible, and... I don't know.  I just literally do not know what to think in this situation.[/quote]

The Gospel does not condemn homosexuality. [/quote]
