What's wrong with gay people?

<p>"And if the United Church feels the need to cater to gays, what's the big deal? It's their choice to change their theology."</p>

<p>The United Church can do whatever it pleases. It can alter its theology to declare that Jesus was a multi-colored dinosaur from Pluto. What the UC does is the UC's business -- it is its own Church, and answers to no higher authority (aside from, you know, God and His Word and stuff). </p>

<p>At the end of the day, I cannot be surprised at their buckling for the benefit of people who hate them, and who will continue to hate them regardless of how much they change. All Churches with roots in the Reformation represent an organized rejection of the Church that Jesus Christ founded, that His Apostles spread, and that the Lord guides to this day. They are man-made, in heresy. Christ promised the world that His Church would never die or compromise the faith that it is charged with keeping and defending; he made no such claims for the Churches of others.</p>

<p>Perhaps a bit off topic, but Christ also said his flock would be small. I don't think the 1.3 billion+ Catholic church meets that little requirement.</p>

Uhh...ever hear of saying things "in jest"? The fact that everyone in this thread is bound to go crazy over religion v. homosexuality and take each other so seriously, so what's wrong with breaking the coming tension?</p>

<p>Besides, there are more sources other than the Hebrew word for love, "David loved Jonathan" and vice versa. There's the use of words describing their actions that's also used to describe sexual actions in other places in the Bible. It's not impossible. SCHOLARS DEBATE IT. The Bible is all about interpretation, and Hebrew can be very ambiguous. I don't know Hebrew, but look at the whole spiel in East of Eden about overcoming sin. The Bible is left for interpretation, and there is never, ever a right interpretation. That's why it's religion and not science.</p>
