[Bruce Kinley]

I know hundreds of gay Christians, there is even a demonination of Christianity that is primarily gay and lesbian – filled with gay parents, gay unions, gay ministers, etc. It’s the Metropolitan Community Church, it’s worldwide and I would say fundamentalist – in that it teaches the living quality of love. It teaches the inclusiveness of Jesus, that ALL can be Christian and worship with Jesus. You are assuming the meaning of the word ‘effeminate’ includes all homosexuals. In that case the word is rather vague. Not all homosexuals act effeminate, and should only the ones that do act effeminate be damned? Are you only talking about gay men? And would the word ‘effeminate’ not include straight women, should they be damned? I would cite this as a moral law against femininity and women-ness; rather inappropriate for the human condition. Your unkle is a drug addict. I assume he’s not gay because your post does not identify him as such. So what does the lifestyle of a drug addict have to do with the lifestyle of a homosexual? Are you comparing doings drugs with being gay? That’s beyond comparing apples and oranges, it’s comparing cancer to apples. Are you asserting that because a gay person is not repulsed by same-sex attraction, that they enter a gay lifestyle? I think believe that’s a case of cause and effect confussion. Homosexuals are gay because they are attracted to same-sex persons, not because they aren’t repulsed. It would be like saying straight people are straight because they are not repulsed by the opposite sex. The repulse is an effect not the cause. The Christian Bible has evolved with history, at times it was meant to be a handbook for citizens explaining how to live. As we have adapted and changed, certain subjects have changed meaning. Jesus never directly condemns homosexuality, not once. If homosexuality really was a ‘sin’ in God’s eyes, why did Jesus not address it? The old testiment is a background and history lesson to put the perspective of Christ into context. It comes down to a personal perference of faith, do you choose to follow just the principle Jesus himself laid out or that of others?
