Re: Michigan Car Repair Shop Owner Says He Will Turn Away Openly Gay Customers ... An

Doesn't change the fact that there's no comparison because discrimination against blacks was codified in the law

So you dont understand...or 'reality' just doesnt support your chosen position (pssssttt! It wasnt 'codified in the law' when the fight for their rights was going on, otherwise they wouldnt have been fighting for them :doh).

Actually, it was. And the fight continued beyond that because of the damage the laws caused.

No one said it didnt continue afterwards.

Dont bother trying to salvage it now.

Discrimination against LGBT's was also codified in the law.

There have been laws to prevent the behavior, but there have been no laws to enforce discrimination against homosexuals

Being the author of the entire Bible, if it's in The Bible He mentioned it.

Lol. That made my day.

..... Now that's Ironic. Jesus loves us so much that he is willing to die in order to try to change us, and insists that we do, in fact, desperately need to change.

Jesus loved us while we were yet sinners - and then commanded that we go and sin no more.

Love is indeed better than approval, but you have mixed up the definitions of each.



Loved them so much, in fact, that He would refuse to simply accept their self-destructive behavior, as opposed to insisting that it change. He would not "appreciate the differences" he had with someone who thought adultery was acceptable.



Jesus defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman that shouldn't be broken (Matthew 19:4-9) and then prescribed how those unable to live out that standard should live (Matthew 19:10-12). The sinfulness of homosexual conduct wasn't a question in any crowd he addressed, and so there is no reason for him to have pulled it out specifically (he also, for example, never specifically mentioned rape). When the apostles were writing to Greek, Latin, or other non-Hebrew audiences, they did have to contend with a culture in which homosexual conduct was accepted, which is why they did have to discuss it specifically.

Meh, I am not Christian. I do not interpret it the same way you do.
