He also adhered to the morality as taught in the Old Testament. So anyone who is not disingenuous knows that Jesus would not be promoting homosexuality.

Your argument appears to be that since Jesus supposedly followed all the tenets of OT morality, that we must do so also in modern America

I wonder, little Jeremiah, do you eat shellfish?

Do you shave the corners of your beard?

Do you cover your head in church?

Would you force your daughter to marry the man who had raped her?

Would you stone an adulteress to death?

All these rules are mandated by OT law, aren't they?And don't respond that Jesus' sacrifice has freed us from the law, because you just argued that we have to follow the law because Jesus did.

It's up to you (O Wacky one) to show us how Jesus accepted same sex behavior as morally acceptable.

No, it's not

We are not discussing what rules will be followed in a Christian school, we are discussing the policy of a public school. Many people in public schools are not Christian, and even many Christians do not agree with you on the issue

Very clever, O Wacky one.

As I said up the thread, anyone who is NOT disingenuous knows that Jesus did not (does not) condone or approve of sex acts outside of marriage, as noted by Scripter.
If anyone wants to disregard Jesus' message in this regard (or the same or similar messages in other religious books and by other religious or holy teachers), they are free to do so. God has given us the gift of free will, to use in His service or in rebellion to Him.

But to act against His direction, while pretending to ourselves or others that we are obeying Him, is not only stupid, it's dangerous.

"Think not that I have come to abolish the Law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away [Note: heaven and earth are still here, so The Law must be too], not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these Commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-19 RSV)

No we were discussing how Jesus would treat people who practiced homosexual behavior. And you brought Jesus into the conversation so don't whine about it (it's unbecoming)

If people accept homosexuality as an acceptable practice then I am extremely doubtful that they are Christian. In order to follow Christ (which is what Christian means, follower of Christ) then you have to follow His teachings. Rejecting part of His teachings is rejecting Christ. The Word of God is inseparable from the word of God.

Christians aren't covered under laws about clean and unclean. You really don't know much about this subject, do you?
