Hi Al,
In your class last Sunday the subject got around to homosexuals. One of the visitors mentioned that homosexuality used to be considered a mental illness. Today it is considered "the way a person is" which may be closer to reality that we are ready to admit. But either way Christians appear to be afraid of them. I worked with some of that persuasion and at least one died of AIDS or HIV or whatever. I know they are not all perverts, they do not hit on every man they see and while AIDS may be spread it is not contagious.
On the chance of hitting sensitive area, the GSMCOC very possibly had someone who admittedly was an active adulterer leading the singing at GSMCOC and we are none the worse off for it and he just might be better off for it. What if he had looked as if he were Gay, practicing or not?
I do not remember Jesus addressing the subject. Maybe under the Law of Moses they had been wiped out I do not know. Historically, homosexuals have been slaves, servants, teachers, nannies, as well as soldiers and Olympic athletes. When used as cooks they probably made a great soufflé, their uniforms were probably quite stylish and their camp was clean as a whistle. An army of homosexuals would look magnificent and eat very well as would their livestock. They would represent their country well especially at "state" occasions.
It is easy to find where various Bible writers condemn homosexuality and promise that those who participate in such will not be among those saved. Condemnation of a host of other sins is also easily found along with similar promise but Christians have selected homosexuality to detest more than the others.
In your line of work have you ever concluded why Christians abhor homosexuals to the extent they do while readily accepting adulterers, fornicators and other "sinners?" If the GSMCOC girls who became pregnant without the benefit of a marriage license were Lesbian would GSMCOC have been as forgiving and forgetting?
