How is that Arrogant? Because I told you I talk to God?
As a Catholic, I knew this guy was going to be a wishy washy loser.
Yea, please enlighten me. Homosexuality is a sin. Now you go.Obviously you have no knowledge of his accomplishments.
You also do not understand Catholicism.

Homosexuality is not a sin. Any sex outside of marriage is. Now you go.
The Bible is a work of fiction written by very fallible men.
"Man has created God in his own image: Intolerant, sexist, homophobic, and violent." ~ Marie
Doesn't change the fact that homosexual sex is a sin and an abomination
Hate the sin. Not the sinner.
That is your opinion
Nothing more
You're claiming you have two-way conversations with God?How is that Arrogant? Because I told you I talk to God?
New Testament is also quite clear about it's support for slavery, blaming all Jews for Jesus' death, genocidal acts and the idea that God views females as intrinsically less worthy than males.The Bible is quite clear. Homosexual sex is a sin and an abomination. It's not my opinion. It's God's Law.
As a believer, I follow God's laws. There are rules. The other guy (Satan) only has one rule. Do whatever you want.
Did I say I don't care about what Jesus said? No, that is your spin of what I said, not reality. What I said was, His words are not the only words in the Bible. His job was not to list each specific sin, He didn't mention rape afterall, did He mention incest? No, but I think you would agree those are wrong too....

This is, once again, your opinion

Doesn't mean that anyone in his/her right mind actually believes that Biblical crap.

Pope Francis on gays: `Who am I to judge?' – CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs
Francis continues to distance himself from Benedict. Thoughts?
Rape and incest were pretty acceptable in Jesus' day. I don't mean acceptable in the sense that people just went "We're alright with it" but more like "Yeah, it happens. We get over it though." Surely, Jesus wasn't in favor of any of it, but the chances are he wouldn't have been all that angry about it either.
It was pretty much standard for old testament guys to marry a cousin or somebody of relation. It's a standard part of some Middle Eastern cultures to preserve kinship ties through marriage. So we find that Middle East Jews have pretty high incidence of first cousin marriages.
Now, as far as rape goes, there are more than once instance in which we see that the punishment for rape is just a little bit more serious than the punishment for stealing a goat. You pay a fine, you keep the woman. Women aren't exactly seen as anything but diplomatic property by social standards at that time.
So in a way, you're right - Jesus doesn't condone it. However, the evidence would suggests he didn't really give a **** about it either.
It is very well my damn business. Why? Because you and a large number of Americans are using that goddamn book to interfere with my family. I don't take kindly to people who attack my family.If you don't choose to believe in the Bible or in God that's your business
This thread is about the Pope and what The Bible specifically says about homosexual sex acts
If you (and Redress) want to debate the existence of God, feel free to create another thread.

Not sure why this is making headlines as this doesn't go against the church doctrine of "Hate the Sin, not the sinner".

Um, you might want to go look. I did not debate the existence of god, I merely pointed out your words where only your opinion, just as you had for others. You do not get to claim your opinions as fact while saying other people's are just opinion, nothing more.
