/* Homosexuality and the Bible - specific verses in the Bible */
*[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I%20Timothy%201:8-11;&version=49; I Timothy 1:8-11 (NASB)] - "But we know that the [[Mosaic Law|Law]] is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and [[sin]]ners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious [[gospel]] of the blessed [[God]], with which I have been entrusted."
*[[Jude]] 1:6-7 (NASB) - And [[angel]]s who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as [[Sodom]] and [[Gomorrah]] and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.
= homosexuality and jesus christ =
nowhere in the above passages is a single biblical passage written before the death of Christ
*jesus christ characterized himself as one who supported the weak and different. he never spoke against those of his faith or sexuality or even race.(and hundreds of years later we still get that wrong)
*all passages in the bible which talk about the "inferiority of women," the condemnation of those of other faiths, and the condemnation of homosexuality, were added years later by two major people, one of whom was extrememly mentally ill and wasn't even raised christian.
*when you decide to be xenophobic, homophobic, or racist because "your god commanded it so," think about whether you are listening to your lord savior, or a deranged roman emperor.
