OT was a Jew law and does not apply to Christ believers anymore. That does not mean we can use the good things from it and discard the rest. I believe in the 10 commandments - does not mean I have to follow the OT.

What is your stance on homosexuality and gay marriage? Does the new testament guide your beliefs on these matters? If so please quote.

Really if you cannot accept the 1st and second century historians accounts of Jesus then you really have no business believing that any figure of history existed. We have the 27 books in the New Testament and the 19 extra biblical accounts both friend and foe thought Jesus was real so why we should believe the 21st century atheist who says otherwise?

I was born five years after Winston Churchill died. If I write a book about him which claims he was a gay circus acrobat who wrestled sharks at week-end while simultaneously writing ribald haiku, that doesn't make it so.

Gee you make him seem petty. I don't think I like your version of god.

Or maybe the whole god thing is a hoax? That would equally well explain the lack of effort on the part of the mightiest of mightiest to show itself.

Its wrong and a sin.
Romans 1:27, Matthew 19:4, Mark 10:6 all have proof that humans were created as male and female.

You have no idea what could conceivably constitute a proof.

Haha "Humans were created as male and female." Hahaha Get the fuck out of here. I think Genesis covered that part. You're like what would happen if only theists talked to Cleverbot.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

News flash: gay men are male and lesbians are female. What else you got?

I love how Christians are all, "I don't have to follow the OT. I'm not a Jew," but they never offer up any cogent defense as to why their god created those silly rules in the first place, all while he was behaving like he had raging PMS.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Romans 1:27: This is clearly God's doing. The verse immediately preceding (Romans 1:26) reads, 'For this reason, God game them over to degrading passions.' In other words, God had an active part (pun intended) in creating homosexuality.

Mark 19:4: This passage has Jesus talking about divorce, it says nothing about homosexuality.

Mark 10:6: Same answer.

Hmm. I suppose 12 years of Catholic school was good for something, after all.
