Martin You keep ignoring what Jesus said so you can pretend sexual perversion is OK. Tell me, why, when He had the chance to enable all those homosexuals to have loving, monogamous marriages, did Jesus say nothing about homosexuals and marriage? Not once does either Jesus or the Bible say anything good about homosexuality.

Peter: He didn't say lots of things. This is because he didn't give a list of dos and donts. Rather he taught such a 'list of laws' approach to which you seem wedded is wrong.
Instead he taught moral principles. It took us 1500 years to realise how to apply them to slavery and 1900 on equality for women. So it's no surprise it's taken us this long to apply them to LGBT people. That doesn't make it Jesus fault for not mentioning it.

Martin: Funny that, He had opportunity to say that homosexuals should be allowed to marry and not be stoned, but He didn't say a thing. He didn't say that the Old Testament penalty for homosexuality was lifted, yet He did say that if someone slapped us we were not to retaliate. Clearly He wasn't worried about the feelings of the homosexual, if He did think they weren't sinners after all.
Slavery and the equality of women are nothing like the so-called LGBT people. They are addressed in the Bible, homosexuality is only condemned. There is not one place where homosexuality is mentioned with any sort of approval in the Bible.

Peter: There is nowhere where slavery is banned and nowhere where lending with interest is approved. Your reading of the bible leads to inverted morality the polar opposite of Jesus's

Martin: Your problem is that you expect the Bible to be a book of rules.
