Would you mind offering an argument for it that isn't replete with modernist and post-modernist assumptions and perspectives? That sees sex, gender and sexual relationships in one of the various, but close and interrelated, ways traditional Christianity has tended to(whether Pauline, Augustinian or somewhat more positive, but closely related, other perspectives.).
Many, including the media and establishment in much of the West, try and defend homosexuality as valid and legitimate, indeed to be celebrated equally with heterosexuality. They don't really defend the rest of these to the same degree.
What you said didn't technically contradict his post. It is possible to support legality of homosexuality but find it immoral. Every time Americans have had popular votes on 'homosexual marriage' they have rejected it.
That is exactly what I said. He didn't even mention fornication and cohabitation. I mentioned them and said we should be stronger in condemning such encouragement.No, the media never promotes fornification and cohabitation. :roll:
No, but traditional Christians has kept many of the similar doctrines, assumptions, perspectives and so forth. This is less so in the West, and particularly in Protestantism and Post Vatican II Roman Catholicism, but the core of the same spiritual relationship and viewpoint still exists even in these denominations, despite all the rationalism, nominalism, humanism and modernism that has crept in over the last millenia in Western Christianity.
You're not making sense. Supporting legalised homosexuality and thinking homosexuality moral are not the mutually exclusive, just like the case of adultery and fornication. I didn't think the polls supported my claims, I said when there has been a popular vote in the US 'gay marriage' has always been rejected as far as I know. Only the courts and legislatures have forced it in various jurisdictions. So again I'm not sure what points you are trying to make. I stand by my question about the representative nature of these polls, whether the North East and West Coast aren't represented more than much of middle America, simply based on where the polling agencies are likely to be located(ie in cities, probably in the North-East or West Coast and not in small town Oklahoma or Nevada.).
Jesus promoted a gospel of perfection. If one reads Christ's gospel, it is not some Rousseauian sentimentalism, he did not say lets get rid of all real natures and realities based on some sentimental love. He actually preached a gospel which claimed that he who lusts after a woman commits adultery in his heart. His gospel is in a sense an esotericism, a path for saints. It is also a highly symbolic and sacramental gospel, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy, foreshadowing events to come and drawing the spiritual nature of even the most mundane activities and objects. The Apostles and the Church drew out, though not in opposition to Christ of course, the more exoteric doctrine, for the less exalted of us to follow. St.Paul lays out the basics on homosexuality, which Christ did not mean to dispute.
You are confusing me with someone else.
