WWJD Re: Gay People.

He chose not to do that. He knew what was coming. His ‘Gethsemane Moment’, if you will, was agonizing.

No; then it is up to you to accept that not everyone is a Christian.

Bear in mind that there are people who are equally as certain as you are about what God wants, but who are certain that God does not want them to be Christians. Many of them are certain that God doesn’t want you to be a Christian either.

And that is leaving out all the people who are certain that they can’t very well accept the guidance of something that doesn’t exist.

I hope the people here rallying against homosexuality because of the bible are also vehemently against tattoos, eating bacon, eating shrimp, eating rabbit, mixing fabrics, mixing cattle breeds, sowing the fields with two kinds of seed, letting your wife wear your jacket, divorce, and being near menstruating women.

And in favor of killing witches, and women not talking in church, not leading men, and being totally submissive to their husbands.

I’m all for submissive wives, but I couldn’t find one to marry! :slight_smile:

My wife’s too busy kicking ass and taking names.

So, if Jesus were to return, what do you think he would do or say in regard to gay people?

Then I think that Mt 19:5 would then be different. It (he) would allow for a spectrum of genders, gender identities, gender expressions, etc. The bible was written thousands of years ago. Things have changed. Words have changed. People have changed. But God and Jesus are forever.

Jesus would love. We should love.

Look, this is all IMHO of course. I’m no theologian, but I read and study the bible, and have been doing so since around 1983. I base this on my experiences and readings, studies, etc.

YMMV

Yeah, if 2020 Jesus is going to command teh gayz to repent and redeem, then he’s gonna have to explain hisself a little. “Because I said so” ain’t good enough.

I think we should abide by what Jesus said:

Gay People? Nothing. That wasnt even a consideration back then, no one cared. Some types of gay sex, like older men buying the favors of young boys? He’d condemn that-as everyone does today. As Paul did. (altho we are not entirely sure what Paul meant, admittedly).

If normal gay sex came up, He wouldnt argue whether or not it was a sin, He’d simply say “those of you who are without sin, you can condemn them”.

For the win!

Ok wait. Your not a Christian.

So why are you in this debate again?

If you dont recognize the divinity of Jesus Christ, then WWJD should mean nothing to you.

Why are you asking? Are you a Christian and have given your life to Jesus? If so then you should know the answer. If you follow something else then WWJD and the words in Matthew are meaningless.

Many people also rejected his beliefs back then also.

Regardless Jesus wouldnt stop to listen to the advice of Hollywood first.

As were many wives of the Bible.

Look up Lydia in Acts 16 who ran an import business in purple dyes and became a follower and supporter of Paul.

Because I would like to know the answer to the question…and why you dance around that answer.

Who mentioned Hollywood?

What of the opinions of other Christians in this thread? Do you dismiss them as readily if they don’t match up with your beliefs?
