An excellent example of how the Magisterium draws its teachings from extra-canonical books. The Didache is rich with such teachings. Expanding on the one above:

You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born.

The Didache

The Red-Letter heresy again.

The words of Jesus in the New Testament are no more inspired than the words of Paul, Luke, Peter, Mark or Matthew.

Romans is no less inspired that the Gospel of John

I agree with you.

But you didn't have to go into so much detail.

“First, it was not only Paul in the New Testament who explicitly condemned homosexual acts. Peter and Jude did so as well.”

Well, to liberals, they invent crap they grab right out of thin air and pass it off as fact. These are the same clowns who believed the 2nd Amendment pertains to the militia, and that the militia is today’s National Guard, so ergo, you should not have guns!

Why do the sodomites and sapphites even care?

Why do they need to drag Jesus and His church through their sordid filth?

I think the story about Sodom and Gommora in the old testement should be enough.

Maybe John the Baptist was greater but St. Paul was as fine a Christian as one could imagine.

In his own words, “I have run the straight race, I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith”.

Christ kept the whole law, kept it perfectly. That included the one about men not lying with men, etc. It was an abominable sin in the sight of the Lord. It IS an abominable sin in the sight of the Lord.

re: “The words of Jesus in the New Testament are no more inspired than the words of Paul, Luke, Peter, Mark or Matthew.”

I must disagree in this sense, Jesus was the Word of God incarnate. His words are the very words of God because He is God in human form.

Paul, Matthew and the other Apostles words are inspired by the Holy Spirit, but they based their teachings on the life, the commands and words of Christ, not the other way around. Jesus’s teachings trump the Apostles.

Huh what?! Jesus wasn’t “inspired.” He is (not was, is) the Source itself, The Word.

Just wow.

God does not punish sodomites, he was just setting off fire works for his fourth of July celebration.

And men should remain silent and support their wives in the household.

What Bible are these homosexuals reading?

Are you insane? The words of Jesus are the words of God, of course they have more significance than the words of mere mortals

Their Master loves defilement. It’s his M.O.
