What if I was the homophobic city councilor?

Well, obviously: you'd have quite the lump on your head.

edit: oh, and I'm offended, if you didn't catch that

What are you talking about? The only people obligated to stone gay people were Old Testament Jews. So unless your being persecuted by OT Jews, your stones will go un used and only highlight what Jesus said in John 8 about he who is without sin cast the first stone. (At the sexually immoral woman) if the consul member was a Christian he did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Because homosexuality is a sin just like any other. We are all slaves to sin. The only difference is some seek attonement for sin and others seek to justify it with their own brand of morality/righteousness. For those who have their sins forgiven must I turn forgive sins and show those who remain sin the way to obtain forgiveness.

Yep, because everyone is bound to follow Drich's interpretation of christianity, or none at all.

Given that Jesus said approximately nothing about homosexuality, the only call to any action you have against them is in the old testament, and hence, either one stones gay people if they're dead set on enforcing biblical responses against them, or they shut the fuck up and let god sort it out in the afterlife.

My point still stands.

Jesus says "Fuck You, Drippy! You'll burn in Hell because you doubted his words!" BWHAHAHAHA!

drich's interpretation is simply known as Christianity. I do not know of any Christian who see himself as being bound by all the rules and regulations of OT Judaism.
As such clearly in John 8 Jesus clearly states what we should do about people found in sexual sin concerning stoning. The context is very clear and speaks exactly to this particular situation. You and apparently the gay rock woman don't seem to understand the basics of biblical Christianity.

Christ's silence is not permission, as Christ only endorses sex with in the context of a Sanctified marriage. Bottom line there is no context where homosexual marriage has been Sanctified by God In the The new or Old Testament. And, as with any sin outside the confines of a Sanctified marriage, homosexual sex is a sexually based sin just like every other sexually based sin.

What the fuck are you talking about, Drippy? Are you still pulling this shit out of your ass?

Who "sanctified" anything?

He also said what I quoted in John 8. There is a resolution between the two, but it clear you are not wanting to concern yourself with it as you refer to your stock Arguement every time this subject comes up.

Gawd.

Didn't Jesus say he came to fulfil, not abolish or change the OT?
