[quote=Anonymous][quote]Your arguments that flow from your assumption about Jesus’ attitude to homosexuals make no sense whatsoever. This seems to be a failure of basic logic on your part. The fact that Jesus said “go and sin no more” is irrelevant if you don’t have a basis for claiming he viewed homosexuality as a sin. The fact that you feel compelled to tell us your views doesn’t make your views correct.       I can’t understand if you’re incredibly hypocritical, or just incapable of basic logic.[/quote]

But I do have a basis for claiming Jesus viewed homosexuality as a sin:  the holy scriptures.

This is the crux of your argument, your last refuge in the gray area:  "Jesus did not directly say homosexuality is a sin so it cannot be sin".

My  position is that taken by the Holy Bible:  homosexuality is a sin. Jesus would not contradict the moral law in the scriptures so it is logical to assume that Jesus, just as he condemned sexual immorality like adultery, would condemn homosexuality as well.  If Jesus told the adulterer to sin no more, he would have told the homosexual to sin no more also.

These views are logically consistent with scripture.  Furthermore, it agrees with and is in accordance with the apostle Paul.   If Jesus accepts homosexuality then the apostle Paul and the Holy Spirit are lying.   The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity, and the Holy Spirit through Paul (and others) condemn homosexuality.  To say that Jesus, who is part of the Trinity, would disagree with the Holy Spirit and disagree with God on the matter makes no logical sense.  It is not logically consistent that 2 parts of the Trinity, God and the Holy Spirit, would condemn homosexuality but Jesus, the 3rd part, would disagree with them both on the moral law.

It is a colossal failure of logic to think  that because Jesus nowhere condemns homosexuality then that means he approves of it.  It is a logical fallacy called  "[i]Argumentum ex Silentio[/i] (Argument from Silence)"    This is why I said "Logic Fail" earlier.  This was not adolescent name-calling or me trying to be snarky, it is pointing out the truth that you have made an error in logic.

You confirm my experience with liberals that logic is not their strong point.  You cannot get liberals to admit truth when they want to believe otherwise, any more than you can nail jello to a wall:  they squish and slime and dodge and ooze all over the place avoiding the hard nail of truth:  Jesus DOES NOT approve of homosexuality.   But go ahead, don't take the various passages in the bible that clearly say it is wrong. Tune all that out and go find you a liberal theologian to tickle your ears, even a reprobate in the pulpit to really make it cool, so as to confirm what you want to believe instead of what God says.   Go live your life the way you please, according to your brand of unbiblical Christianity.  Join the Christian Club of Liberal Denominations who have a form of godliness but deny the power therein.  That is your choice.  I leave you to it, just as I have made a choice:  "as for me and my household, we will follow the Lord instead of liberal-progressive dogma”.  [/quote]
