Sorry, but it appears you did not read my post. I am quite aware of the connection between Jesus Christ and God.
Furthermore, I have not only read the Bible many times, but have come to realize that the bulk of the Bible is a man-made construct with only the Ten Commandments and the clear instructions of Jesus Christ (as witnessed by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) containing the literal Word of God.
The Old Testament is primarily a "story" of the Jews, written by men. This includes those laws in Leviticus fundamentalists like to quote. I find the way some Christians seem to focus on those laws in Leviticus very selectively strange, since they tend to avoid those laws they recognize as having no merit today (like slavery, punishments for sleeping with a woman during her period, etc.) without a rational explanation for why these are invalid but the ones they quote are not.
Now the New Testament is where Christians should actually look for guidance; found specifically in the commands of Jesus Christ. Jesus spoke of LOVE and acceptance, expressly forbidding us to judge others over and over again since this was up to God alone. Jesus also spoke no word of condemnation against same sex relationships, and his statement about marriage between a man and a woman was in reference to divorce and adultery. Only Paul of Tarsus, in his letters instructing Christian churches in Romans and Corinthians, speaks against it in the New Testament.
Now, as you can see while we are both Christians we clearly differ in our understanding of the Bible. The fact that we don't agree about Biblical interpretation is not unique for members of our faith. In my opinion this is exactly why our Saviour made it perfectly clear that we were incapable of judging our fellow man. Instructing us instead to live our own lives as an example and let others follow it as they may.
BTW, I was not saying the Earth is 6,000 years old. I was responding to a member who spoke of marriage "from the dawn of time," and that since we did not exist at the dawn of time unless they were referring to the belief the world is really only a few thousand years old, I was willing to argue from that point of view.
