[quote=Anonymous][quote]You’re defining “sin according to Jesus” and effectively claiming that you know what Jesus thought about various human activities, and nobody else besides you knows. Can’t you see how very wrong that is?

And YOU are defining "not sin according to Jesus", trying to make the case that despite the bible proclaiming homosexuality to be sin,  that somehow it is not sin anymore because Jesus did not specifically mention it.  You are the person who is putting words in Jesus's mouth that he is declaring homosexuality to be not sin, whereas the Old Testament clearly says that it is, and the apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, explicitly declared it to be a sin.  Do you really think Jesus would say, "Homosexuality is good!  God created us guy for guy, gal for gal, man for dog, or anything you like...?"

Do you really think Jesus would declare homosexuality to be normal whereas before it carried a death sentence, like adultery?   That is not logical in any way.  Sin does not cease being sin just because someone does not directly mention it, just like poison does not cease being poison just because someone doesn’t mention it in a list of poisons, or someone sneaking in and peeling the warning label off the bottle.

Furthermore, you are in a tiny minority of so-called Christians who want to make the case that homosexuality is not a sin, when the majority of Christendom and the holy scriptures attest that it is.   For centuries this has been so, and now suddenly it is not true anymore because emboldened feminists and outraged homosexuals are angry and want the church to change its tune?  Sorry, not buying it.

Really, It is absurd to think that something that has been known for centuries to be evil, like in Sodom, to be suddenly good, is taking Jesus waaaaayy out of the context of the bible, Jewish culture, and the commands in the bible and putting him into a vacuum.     This is what you have to do to make it look like Jesus approves of homosexuality.  I say again:  the case cannot be made except by those who twist the bible into a pretzel to make it say something it does not.

But do go on in to your unbiblical liberal denomination, have your ears tickled all you want.  That is your choice, but do not be surprised when many Christians leave your denomination in disgust, no different than if a pastor started passing out marijuana to the congregation telling everybody, "Get high for Jesus!  He never said marijuana was bad, never said anything about it. In fact, he probably told his disciples 'as often as ye get high, light up a big fatty in remembrance of me'. "  While you are approving of homosexuality, why don't you go ahead and amend the bible with the Gospel of Cheech & Chong? That is the ridiculous position you take when you try to make Jesus affirm homosexuality as being normal and not a sin.
