WWJD, or say about homosexuality...?

He offered a change in that he said that not following the first two commandments were the primary definitions of sin and that all other rules flow from them.

????....odd, since he never said that at all.....they weren't "the first two commandments".....they are a summary of all ten......the first is a summary of the first table, dealing with the commandments that control the relationship between God and humanity, the second a summary of the second table which deal with the commandments controlling the relationships between people.....

Orthodox Jews recognize them. Tell me more about this book, Elvira's Handmaiden Handbook of witchcraft and folklore, which might give us an insight into your psyche.
 
Anyway in answer to Jarod's question we have multiple examples of what Jesus would do in that circumstance; Jesus would say, "Go and sin no more." Then thousands of years later Jarod would pretend it didn't mean what he said, instead it means something Jarod wants it to mean.

Sin, at least to me, Christian sin is not a list of specific things. The world is full of grey and not black and white, Jesus did not mention homosexuality... he did sit with a prostitute after saving her from an angry mob and make sure she knew she was loved. He did not point out to her that she was a sinner or remind her that adultery was a sin. She simply ensured she knew she was loved. Sin is simply not living up to your God given potential and not respecting yourself others or helping all to attain God given potential.

So, if you live in a culture where sleeping around and not respecting the results of doing so harms people or yourself, if it prevents you from attaining your God Given potential, then its a sin. But its not specifically the sleeping around that is the sin, its what it causes.

Society and Culture change. Time changes things. Science changes things. This is why specific things are not sins. This is also why judging what is a sin for others is not what Jesus taught us to do. Jesus taught us to ensure that we have done what we can to let everyone know they are loved.

Preaching and prosthalitizing about individual sins and pointing out others sinful behavior is the opposite of what Jesus taught us to do... helping people to know they are loved.

The Bible is pretty explicit in what is sin or isn't. It isn't ala carte. You claim to not believe in God so why are you so worried about what we consider sin or not. It doesn't impact you one bit. And if I call you a sinner, how are you harmed? You aren't.

Not one queer was harmed by Phil Robertsons words. Not one queer is harmed when I say that what they are doing is a sin. Adultery is a sin, Phil talked about that yet there was no uproar particularly from Bill Clinton. But it was only the queer lobby that got its knickers in a twist.

Stop fretting. You don't believe in God anyway so it shouldn't matter to you what a bunch of Christians like me think or say. We aren't hurting you.

Sticks and stones?

Would Jesus think your degrading, devaluing, and always disparaging words about people who are different a sin?
