It is inappropriate to use tidbits from the Old testament to discriminate against other people. Jesus would hang out with gay people and I never read anything he said against LOVE, but I did read about hypocrites and how HE threw them out of the temple. Judge not lest ye be judged. Blessings to all that your minds may be opened to the fullness of Love and Life bestowed on us all by out Divine Creator.

How dare anyone tell another to repent and come to the cross of Christ! Does not the bible say remove the log in your own eye before removing the mote in your neighbor's eye and JC Himself say "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." So if JC would not let Mary MAgdelene be stoned, how can any 'christian' who claims to follow Jesus totally miss His message of Love and Tolerance and Peace and Forgiveness? The Pope was just here in the USA on PAssover and even was ashamed of the priest sex scandals-he spoke with victims and began the healing process. JC will not be happy with shreiking so-called followers who condemn others for what they secretly hide. Homophobia is most prevalent in men and women who are uncertain in their sexuality-as in not good enough in bed or not large enough, really a heterosexual pedophile, as well as secretly wanting to explore same sex relations, so loudly condemning others usually means you have a secret and need to put others down to protect yourself, not a genuine desire to bring the good news of the risen lord to others. Judge not, lest ye be judged! I fully support this young man for being out about being gay. Indeed, it is being 'in the closet' that is harmful, not being a homosexual. Honesty, like cleanliness is the road to HEaven and condemning others is the path to Hell. I forgive your foolishness but let everyone read their own bible or not and think about what JC actually said and did, translated and abridged and distorted as it is. And pray to Mary, the Mother of God, for forgiveness and mercy on your bigoted soul, for bigots, like rich men, cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
