Actually, I believe the bible is misunderstood. I think it said that jesus was going to be betrayed and that Jesus sent Judas to turn him in because he was his best friend. Actually, if you read the bible...jesus was a trouble maker. I don't know about him being gay, but he was definately a trouble maker.
if you read the bible...jesus was a trouble maker. I don't know about him being gay, but he was definately a trouble maker.indeed, he was a revolutionary at least toward the Jewish monarchy and the Jewish religious establishment at that time , he was far more trouble to them than the Romans authorities.

God is supposedly all forgiving, but the people that created him are not. Hence, the human conditions that he is supposed to exist under...like anger or joy, or vengence. God would be above all these things if he was all knowing and all powerful.

Only Jesus can decide what is wrong and what is right. Not you and certainly not me. And not allowing gays to listen or preach the word of God is far more sinful.
😆 You must be joking so let me get this straight you want sinners to teach others not to sin and the word of god. Okay so lets say they did let them in what about when it comes to the part in the bible when it says a man and a man shall not lay together do they skip that part or what.

It's all relative I think. Why would one rule be over looked and not another. The vatican has been deciding what rules apply and which don't for centuries. It's a clear example of how man created god, not the other way around.
Now, I'm gonna say that I'm in the camp that is totally confused as to why a gay man would want to become a preist. I just don't understand it. But, they have every right to WANT to be. But, it's alos up to the church they want to become a preist in to decide if they can or can not.

If you are referring to Leviticus 18:22, I am certain they would treat it in the same manner as smiting one's neighbors (Leviticus 1:9), selling one's daughter into slavery (Exodus 21:7), owning slaves (Leviticus 25:40), stoning those who work on Saturday (Exodus 35:2), and executing men for trimming the hair around their temples (Leviticus 19:27).
Again. If someone wants to be consistent about his observance of biblical restrictions and prohibitions, then he must also preach and practice abstinence from many other activities that are commonplace in our society. With a few exceptions, most people are not willing to apply the morality of the bible to their lives today.
things such as sex outside of marriage are also dead wrong,who ever said marriage is the final and correct institution between people, if a couple decide they want to live together that is just as good as a marriage, marriage is nothing more than a written contract, well here in Norway an oral contracts as valid as a written one.
Bible says so.....God said so....= wrongI say otherwise and at least I am real not some fake ass stories or thought up deity.
