| Jesus of the Old Testament |
|
By Matthew Richardson
The other day I was reading an article written by a gay expert on religion. He said that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. Well, of course, that's completely untrue. Jesus thoroughly condemned homosexuality in Leviticus and in various books in the New Testament.
But a Christian would respond by saying: "No, no, you
don't understand the Holy Bible. Jesus was not featured in the Old
Testament." Well, okay, not by that name, but Jesus is busy throughout
the Old Testament, slaughtering multitudes, inflicting swarms of
insects and drought, aborting babies, and so on.
How do Christians define their god? Christians say
that their monotheistic religion consists of "three gods in one." One
is the father, another is the son, and another is a "holy ghost."
What is this holy ghost? I thought about that. It has
to be something that can't make a whole lot of noise, so it's probably
their pet cat. But anyway, all three of those gods have been described
– by Christians – as "eternal."
The father, son, and their little pet always existed,
but one of them, the father, decided to send his son down to earth,
give him flesh and having him pretend to be a human – an act of divine
deceit.
Here's what all three said about gay people: From the
Good News Bible "No man is to have sexual relations with another man;
God hates that." -Leviticus 18:22. "Even the women pervert the natural
use of their sex by unnatural acts. In the same way the men give up
natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each
other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they
bring upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their
wrong-doing." -Romans 1:26-27.
In both of these cases, the father, the son, and
Fluffy are speaking with one voice (and using poor St. Paul as their
press secretary – something like a dummy). Hence, Jesus, in both
sections of the Holy Bible, condemns homosexuality.

... I have always wondered why Christians think they can have it both ways. John 1:1 establishes the Divinity of Christ by placing him with God the Father at the beginning, as the word. And so all actions performed by the Father were performed by the Son, all of the words and Commandments. Sometimes, for Christians, it is better that he was a man that became God, and sometimes better that he was God all along. This is one of those cases, condemning homosexuality in which liberal Christians would prefer we consider Jesus the Former. |

... Paul wrote Romans and he is not quoting Jesus, so you can't really say that Jesus said what is written in Romans. Nit-picky, I know. |
