Some old, white guys had grabbed a young woman caught in adultery and taken her to the town square, intending to stone her to death. Jesus came along and said,<br /><br />"Dudes, they're in love! Haven't you ever been in love?!" Then he said, "Let anyone here who doesn't think love is just the most awesome thing in the world cast the first stone."<br /><br />The old, white guys dropped their stones, linked arms, and went away singing "All you need is love."<br /><br />Then Jesus turned to the young woman, handed her a JC brand condom, winked and said, "Go follow your heart, but practice safe sex."Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975603905568638445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-17585396289911113562015-07-08T11:43:35.762-05:002015-07-08T11:43:35.762-05:00Jesus never had to win the Galilean primary.Jesus never had to win the Galilean primary.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676108366725199186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-54147652497601734562015-07-08T11:07:04.057-05:002015-07-08T11:07:04.057-05:00Yes, his theology is not plausible, but hey.

He's trying to say that he thinks this is the way it should be in our society, for moral reasons. <br /><br />He's very, very old. He was born in 1924; he'll turn 91 this year. I really don't like kicking around the extremely elderly. Can't you just give him credit for having evolved and leave the old guy alone??<br /><br />Like the SC, Jimmy just opened the door to incestuous and polygamous relationships. While that's not very Baptist and not very Christian, you have to concede it's tolerant. <br /><br />The only people Jimmy still can't be tolerant about are Jews, as far as I can see. So he's still got some evolving to do.

Christ was actually very strict on marriage, more so than Moses. He condemns divorce and remarriage as adultery and recalls the joining of man and woman in Genesis as it's definition. It's not vague or unclear, rather it's simply not a modern popular view so it's ignored or worse distorted. <br /><br />I have more respect for the honest atheist who simply rejects the teaching outright than those who would warp Christ to fit their own views. Of course God also says "Come to me hot or cold ..." Rev 3:16, condemning the lukewarm. sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693437681522726538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-70299124006306376462015-07-08T07:51:23.522-05:002015-07-08T07:51:23.522-05:00I don't think Jesus would have wanted people r...I don't think Jesus would have wanted people running around using him to back their own personal and policy preferences.

I think he knows at some level that even if he could snip out a verse that supports what he's saying, it would be quite out of context.<br /><br />Carter may be forgetting the reason Jesus was sent in the first place, which was to save. To be saved, one must have something to be saved from, which since progressives have erased all the old sins, Jesus apparently came to deliver women from trigger warnings, Republicans, and reality. It's not clear what the men are saved from, but whatever it is will have to pass a disparate impact test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-11298316308739151922015-07-08T01:19:50.154-05:002015-07-08T01:19:50.154-05:00I think the 650,000 Americans who have died of AID...I think the 650,000 Americans who have died of AIDS would take exception to the notion than anal intercourse is not damaging to anyone.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5059852158673420602015-07-08T00:49:29.602-05:002015-07-08T00:49:29.602-05:00Michael K wrote:

But it wasn't science the way we think of it -- observe, hypothesize, experiment, revise hypothesis, repeat. Eratosthenes tried to fit his observations into geometry, and it worked for him, mostly. But it went nowhere. He had no system of thought that would work on objects that were not able to be reduced to ratios and right triangles. <br />Reason alone is enough to lead you to believe the earth is a sphere. Geometry will show that lunar eclipses occur as a result of the Moon moving through the Earth's shadow. Only a sphere has a shadow of the same shape when it it is rotated arbitrarily. If you diagram the position of the Earth, Moon, and Sun during a lunar eclipse it is clear that regardless of the position of the local observer, the Earth's shadow on the moon will be a section of a circle. Voilez'! The Earth is a sphere.

From Matthew 15:<br /><br /><i>18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, <b>sexual immorality,</b> theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.</i><br /><br />"Porneia" refers to a variety of things, but the first two definitions are, "To prostitute one's body to the lust of another" and "to give oneself to unlawful sexual intercourse; to commit fornication".<br /><br />When you combine this with the OT references to homosexuality, the fact that Christ and God are one, and the fact that Christ was a Rabbi ... well, I think it's pretty hard to make the case that Christ is somehow "for same sex marriage".<br /><br />Carter is clearly sucking up to popular Democratic opinion in order to stay relevant and to continue selling books. It's also quite clear that Jimmy Carter, the Sunday School teacher, is gone forever.Pianomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10321581049879290921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-10750438086900102772015-07-07T23:24:44.238-05:002015-07-07T23:24:44.238-05:00Yes, Jesus would forgive sinners today quite easil...Yes, Jesus would forgive sinners today quite easily.
