Jesus said a lot of things about sexuality, family and marriage that doesn't comport with Michael Moore's rewrite of the New Testament. Now, it may not use the specific term "homosexual" but it does disapprove of the behavior. And let's not stop with the Gospels. Let's look at what Paul says in Romans 1:22-27 about the unnatural act:

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

I'm waiting for Moore and the Left to show us where exactly in the New Testament and for that matter, the Old one - where there's moral sanction giving to the pederast affectation. Moore and his ilk may think traditional values are outmoded but for those of us who believe in God and his eternal teachings, they are timeless. Political correctness doesn't eliminate what is known to be the truth - and Moore can't change that no matter now many fakumentaries he screens in the nation's cineplexes.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

he intends to share his biblical wisdom regarding the issue of homosexuality and what he sees as irrational hatred of it.

"There is nowhere in the four Gospels where Jesus uses the word 'homosexual,'" Moore related. "The right wing has appropriated this guy … and they have used him to attack gays and lesbians, when he never said a single word against people who are homosexual. Anyone who professes to be a Christian and does that is certainly not following the teachings of Jesus Christ."

"Odd" that this fat tub of ick would not witness against Mohammed's "appropriation of this guy" in the name of Islamic Imperialism. Islam is the only major religion to acknowledge the existence of Jesus while at the same time denying His divinity, His crucifixion, and His resurrection.

While direct condemnation of homosexuality (or other sins) may not have been the focus of His teachings, when a group of over a BILLION people appropriate Him and DENY His message of redemption and salvation for us all, you'd think a "practicing Christian" would notice this obvious bigger issue.

This is the first I've ever read of Lord Ho Ho, traitor to America, proclaiming any Christian faith on his part. If I seem skeptical, I have my reasons based on his many previous lies.

It doesn’t really matter, nobody who takes the Bible seriously is going to care what Michael Moore says, and people who agree with Moore don’t care what the Bible has to say.

BINGO! And that is pretty much how the country is divided. I foresee another Civil War soon, but I hope I’m wrong.

Moore is having sex with a cheeseburger so that he can eat more of his family once it is born. Cannibalism with relish.

The notion that there is an alleged “irrational hatred” of homosexuality is a long running meme of the Left. This is a hijacking of language. The opposition to homosexual behaviour is not “irrational” nor is it “hatred”. Funny how he accuses the Right of appropriating Jesus while he does this very thing with language. There is a sort of irrational hatred of White people in South Africa but odd how no one seems to talk about that too much. The Boer farmers are being killed in what the President of Genocide Watch: Gregory Stanton has publicly called a genocide under the Genocide Convention.

It's also a very strong statement about the fact that men and women were made for each other.

Probably the very best argument, and one that homosexuals never confront. They deeply resent the opposite sex for some reason, despite their often having special friendships with them.

Michael Moore. What an idiot!!! What people like him don’t get is that to the Christian the Jesus of the New Testament and the God of the Old Testament are one in the same. And the OT God sure as heck let us know what he thought about homosexuality. Just ask any Sodomite....

Besides if Jesus said,” Thou shall drive the speed limit” I thinks it’s pretty safe to say that He thought speeding was wrong. He addressed marriage as being between a man and woman plenty of times in both Matthew and Mark. Think we can extrapolate that He wasn’t for the “Adam and Steve” union.

Hey, mikey, show me where is the Gospels Jesus condemned rape.

Hey, Mikey, show me where in the Gospels Jesus condemned spousal abuse.

Hey, Mikey, show me where in the Gospels Jesus condemned bestiality, or human sacrifice, or (and this makes you safe) stupidity.

It would appear, following the Rev Mikey’s Biblical interpretation, Jesus would not think any of those things were morally wrong.

Further, Christians believe God the Father and Jesus the Son are one in the same as well as distinct persons. So, it would stand to reason that wherever God speaks in the Bible, Jesus, too, is speaking in one voice.

Romney wouldn't like this!

In other words, what Christians refer to as "Old Testament law" still applies to us as the standard of righteous behavior. That's what Jesus said. Follow the law or face the consequences.

Sorry, but that's a really silly argument. The basis of Christianity is that faith in Jesus supposedly "saves" you from the burden of the law. At least that's what Christians say when asked why they don't keep the Sabbath, enjoy pork sandwiches, ignore the sacred laws of marital and family purity, scorn the Festivals and holy days, etc. And no, it's not just the ritual law -- at least in the actual Tanakh, keeping the Sabbath and the laws of family purity are considered moral laws as well.

So, aside from statements by Paul and the Church founders, there's no rational reason for Christians to single out homosexual acts as the one so-called "Old" testament law that still applies, and certainly no reason for them to assume that homosexuality is worse than heterosexual promiscuity.

Michael Moore is a lying asshole. But he's right on this point -- nothing in Jesus' actual words say anything condemning homosexual acts.

Incidentally, Orthodox Jews understand to place things in context -- we know that homosexual acts are immoral and against the word of God. But for Jews they are no worse (and probably much less serious) than flagrant Sabbath desecration.

In the end, all of the Bush-hated, and through it, the Anti-War movement in America and the absolute denial of the truth by a largely Democrat Media (MANY of that same media being GAY)is driven by leftist opposition to the Right’s AntiGay stance....

When even the managing staff of the New York Times calls ITSELF “The Gay Mafia” we might have a problem.

I don’t expect anything but more lies from Michael Moore. Joseph Farah is quite correct in his excerpts from the Bible, but he skips Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with man, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” No doubt, God spoke very clearly about the homosexual lifestyle.

Jesus did preach against homosexuality. In Mark 7:21 he uses the word porneia, which translates to mean illegal sexual acts, i.e. incest and homosexuality.

You know, I don’t recall Jesus specifically mentioning anything about polygamy, beastiality, or pedophilia. Did Jesus support these things, Michael Moron? Sadly, I heard him on The View. He is another cafeteria Catholic along with Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry, and Guiliani. They make me sick.
