The Huffnpuff post is less than a reliable source. Yes, Jesus and Paul spoke against homosexuality. After all, since Christ is God Himself, He wrote the moral Law.

I know what Paul said. I'm asking you, what did Jesus say in the Gospels?
Derek Flood sounds like your type of guy.
"Derek Flood is an author, theologian and artist and a regular contributor for the Huffington Post, Sojourners, Red Letter Christians, and at his website: www.therebelgod.com.
A long time voice in the post-conservative evangelical movement, Derek's focus is on wrestling with questions of faith and doubt, violence in the Bible, relational theology, and understanding the cross from the perspective of grace and restorative justice."

We have a duty not to tolerate deviant behavior.
He might get arrested trying that.

Lol.
So does this mean that Jews and Muslims cannot get into heaven?? What if, when it's your time, you find out the Jews/Muslims were right?
It's fascinating to watch the hate that can erupt when religion is discussed.

Oklahoma legislators are aware that the Satanists want to erect their own monument and they have no clue how to respond, so they’re just putting their collective foot in their mouth and crying “Christian privilege!” left and right:
“This is a faith-based nation and a faith-based state,” said Rep. Earl Sears, R-Bartlesville. “I think it is very offensive they would contemplate or even have this kind of conversation.”
Yes, how dare non-Christian groups contemplate using their First Amendment rights?! It’s totally a faith-based nation… even though nearly 20% of Americans use no religious label and even though our Constitution says it wouldn’t matter if 100% of them did.
“It is not something the people of Oklahoma would support, and the people of Oklahoma support the Ten Commandments monument,” said Rep. Eric Proctor, D-Tulsa.
Guess what? Doesn’t matter.
“It is not going to get approved here without a court battle,” said Rep. Doug Cox, R-Grove. “I can assure you.”
… a statement no politician has ever said to a Christian group wanting to put a Ten Commandments monument.
“I am somewhat disappointed we are facing this sort of thing,” said Rep. Jeannie McDaniel, D-Tulsa. “We sort of knew this might happen. I know nothing of about this group. I have never heard of them. I think we opened the door and have to have a process to have it vetted.”
That may be the worst one of them all. We sort of figured other groups might want to take advantage of this opportunity, but I just can’t believe any of them actually did!
Wait. I lied. This is the worst one of them all:
Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, said the New York group is trying to place a monument on the Capitol grounds for religious purposes and will be unsuccessful. The Ten Commandments monument, on the other hand, was put up for historical purposes, Reynolds said.
Wow. The Satanic Temple’s proposed monument should be rejected because it’s too “religious,” but the Ten Commandments monument should be given a pass because it’s “historical”?!
Someone will have to explain to me the historical significance of Commandments that say we should obey God, not obey idols, not take God’s name in vain, and keep the Sabbath holy… not to mention that most of the other Commandments aren’t even codified in our laws — no one goes to jail for coveting, committing adultery, or disrespecting their parents.

If someone has to explain the historical significance of the Ten Commandments to you, something thats supposedly about 2000 years old, you need
more than we can give you, no matter what the hell they say....What is lacking is solid physical evidence.
In a word, its civility, civility as it was seen by those living 2000 years ago......thats what the ten commandments all come down to. Doesn't our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence promote that same idea, along with so much more, as those that wrote those words over 2 centuries ago saw it ?
And the Okla. legislators can accept the 'donation' of the Satanists monument and do whatever the hell they want with it....they can deplay it
at the city water treatment plant or at the local landfill....two very sigguestions if I don't say.

FYI, the Ten Commandments predates Jesus Christ and date back to the 13th century BC and are part of the OLD Testament.
Just sayin....
thanks,
I know little about religious dogma or religious history compared to some of you.....obviously, I'm not the 'religious' type.....
Kinda like The Dude and his knowledge of economics and the English language.
You leaned how to suck dick in the navy
The Ten Commandments is supposedly a lot older than 2000 years, idiot.
It has no more historical significance to this country than do tales of the Devil.
The Ten Commandments has very little to do with civility. It's mostly about obedience to God. Our constitution explicitly rejects most of it.
No, they can't do whatever they want with it. They have opened the capital up as a venue for free speech and the legal precedents says that any restrictions have to be content neutral.
You are a moron.
You know way less than me about religious dogma or just about anything else (though you are an expert on adult diapers and Navy pasttimes). You should quit embarrassing yourself by pretending you have some capacity to explain it.
