[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christians are bound by NEW TESTAMENT LAW, not OLD TESTAMENT.

Shellfish, stoning, and shrimp laws are OT laws.

[b]Homosexuality is NT law[/b].

Jesus also said “he who is without sin cast the first stone” to people who wanted to stone an adulteress.

We follow the Law of Christ. That’s why we don’t follow all laws in the Bible anymore. It’s not picking and choosing though, it’s based on which law we are bound to.[/quote]

OK, I am not an expert. What are all the places in the new testament that talk about homosexuality?[/quote]

This is false, Jesus never said homosexuality was a sin.[/quote]

Romans 1:6-8, 1 Timothy 1:8-11, and  1 Corinthians 6:9-11

NT Law isn’t limited to only what Christ said. Because the Bible is inspired, the writings of the disciples and other teachers are fully God’s Word and approved by Him. [/quote]

I prefer Jesus's commandments to Roman, Timothy and Corinthians. There are in direct opposition to each other. You have to pick one... I pick Jesus.

Also, I don't see divorced people being discriminated against. So why all the hate for gay people. [/quote]

+1. Romans, Corinthians and Timothy are writings by and about people who followed Jesus. I, too, choose to go with the gospels, which record what Jesus said. The gospels don’t mention homosexuality.  [/quote]

Essentially, you are picking and choosing from the Bible.  That’s fine, but I don’t buy this whole “Paul’s letters are pastoral,” stuff.  Paul was chosen by Jesus.  Paul’s writings are the foundation of the Church.  [/quote]
