[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The essence of Christianity is love. This is from the New Testament, Matthew 22:36-40:

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'" [b]All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments[/b].”

There is no asterisk saying, "love your neighbor unless he's gay." My interpretation is that the sin is failure to love.[/quote]

No. It is spelled out clearly elsewhere that homosexuality is a sin, along with adultery, fornication, stealing, fibbing and a host of other things. You can still love a person but condemn his/ her sin. [/quote]

Not to me - as a Christian I focus on the words of Christ - it is all that matters to me. What the OT says and other facets of the NT says is not to be dismissed but I will not give it the weight that fundamental Christians choose to do and in the process are selective in their approach.[/quote]
