Comments on: US gay bishop: 'Church should bless marriage, not legalise it' http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-11817.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:19:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Jean-Paul http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-11817.html/comment-page-1/#comment-48249 Jean-Paul Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:36:41 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-11817.html#comment-48249 @jdude: There are direct quotes of Jesus Christ about homosexuality in the New Testament? How could I have missed them during the years I spent pouring over every word of Mathew, Luke, Marc & John? Nobody admires the vision of Paul of Tarsus more than I do, but on the subject of homosexuality, he was deeply and quite evidently influenced by Philo of Alexandria, a demented scholar at best. Let's give Gene Robinson the respect he deserves, shall we, and stop trying to be such a snot about throwing biblical quotes around when we don't know the first thing about them. Dunderhead. @jdude: There are direct quotes of Jesus Christ about homosexuality in the New Testament?

The words' meaning change over the centuries and the bible was written by people with their feet well on Earth. Separation between the church and the State is the only way to guarantee democracy for everyone. The man is absolutlely right.

Gene Robinson has not got one iota of hatred in him. When he is attacked (which is constant) by homophobes, he comes across with his homespun 'Love Philosophy' in answer. I have e-mailed Gene Robinson's office in New Hampshire giving my support to his on-going campaigns.

What about the direct quotes of Jesus Christ? You dismiss those? Sorry Gene, but Romans and Corinthians destroys your argument of gay marriage.
