Anglican anger over new lesbian bishop

I disagree. What about David and Jonathan in the OT? Under Jewish tradition, a wedding can be performed by any one of three actions: exchanging vows, exchanging gifts, and having sex. Any one of these can be a wedding, provided that it is done with the avowed intent of being a wedding and is performed in front of witnesses. The relationship between David and Jonathan shows each one of the three taking place.  (Wednesday | post #121)

700 Clergy and Lay Leaders Call on NY Senate to Pass Marriage Bill

Liam posted this on another thread about S & G: "There is nothing in Genesis 19 that requires the encounter with the people of Sodom to end up sexually for the angels, either rape or homo- sex, or anything else. According to the Talmud and based on oral traditions handed down, the people of Sodom were in the habit of having a bit of sport with travellers, with "sport" in this case refering to acts of robbery, theft, assault, and assorted other criminal acts. Travellers were robbed and reduced to begging. Rather than receiving help, the beggers were left to starve to death. Their courts were corrupt. One of the tales recounts how a man went to Sodom to see if the tales were true. While there, one of the townsfolk threw a rock and hit him in the head. In court, the judge demanded that the TRAVELLER had to pay, for the man who hit him with a rock was a doctor and charged money for bloodletting. Corrupt courts were a violation of the Noahide laws, sinc the laws of Moses would not be written for a couple of centuries. Sex, consentual or rape, had NOTING to do with it.

Mona and Connie are correct. And, it's NOT just a "handful of gay people who argue otherwise." MANY biblical scholars argue otherwise.  (Wednesday | post #807)

Rick Warren Is Enabling Hate

Fornication as written in the NT of the Bible comes from the Greek word, "pornos. " It has to do with prostitution and those who frequent prostitutes. It does not mean ALL sex outside of civil marriage.  (Wednesday | post #358)

Dr. Maddow And Debunking the Ex-Gay Movement (videos)

I found that (so-called exgay) man to be disgusting and dishonest. I'm glad Rachel brought out the fact that he had no real/valid credentials.  (Tuesday | post #4)

Oh please! If there was anything sexual going on there (which is highly suspect), it would have been RAPE. Now, what on earth does THAT have to do with a loving and committed and consentual same gender relationship??? Nothing!  (Monday Dec 7 | post #700)
