Sorry this took so long to get back to you, but I do not have the internet at home and my only chance to write this is on my lunch break at work.

In response to "Liberator Revs" comments:

The Bible I currently use as well as the others that I have and believe are the inspired word of God have only the books which were widely accepted by the third century as those that are the inspired word of God. The one that I use is the English Standard version, but I also have the New International Version as well. Both bibles use interperations that are widely accepted as the inspired word of God. Furthermore the Gospels and the letters of Paul are of equal importance here because they are both the inspired word of God. I am not a Paulian I am a Christian which is a follower of Jesus Christ. Now as to the fact of whether or not Jesus condemned homosexuality he did. Old testament law (Leviticus Chs 18, 20 to be specific) defined sexual immorality and the punishments therof. Homosexuality is included in this passage. Since we know that Jesus is the Son of God and therefore in every way was and is perfect we know that he could not approve of homosexuality nor be a homosexual. Jesus being born as a man under the law (Galatians 4:4-5) was also subject to the law as is everybody else who has ever lived. Jesus also supported Old Testament Law and its infallibility (See Matthew 5: 17) which is further evidence of Jesus' stance against homosexuality. Jesus also said that people are defiled by sexual immorality (see Mark 7: 20-21) which is defined in Leviticus 18.

In answer to Atticus Finch's question read Leviticus 18 for a definition of sexual immorality which includes homosexuality.

As for Simul Justus:

You must not be familiar with John the Baptists first meeting of his cousin Jesus. Read Luke 1:39-45. You must believe that life begins at conception, not at same later date when that brain finally becomes "active". When a woman gets an abortion she is commting murder. i say this not to judge, but in the hopes that a woman will read this and change her mind about aborting her unborn child. If she has already done it and is convicted of it I pray that she will confess her sin, know that she is forgiven, and come to repentance. But this can only happen if one is saved.

As for salvation call on Jesus as you savior, admitting that you have done much wrong with your life, you are incapable of fixing yourself and knowing that Jesus Christ is the son of God, sacrificed on the cross for your sin, and raised from the dead bringing victory over death.

John 3:16
