It is interesting how people pick and choose from religious texts that may or may not govern other people.
Do you eat shellfish?
Funny, that plank in your eye. |
Genesis, Romans, Corinthians, and Leviticus all speak about homosexuality.
That's besides the point though.
I'm not trying to justify anything. I'm not sitting here saying "you're wrong for being a homosexual because my King James pocket bible says so". I didn't say that at all actually, nor did I try to "pick and choose" a certain text from the bible to rationalize my beliefs. My statement had nothing to do with my beliefs as a Christian.
I simply stated that you can't call a bunch of people fools or hypocrites because they consider themselves Christians and are not accepting of homosexuality. You could certainly argue the Bible's stance on homosexuality if you wanted too but that's another discussion entirely.
