Re: Brisbane rally for same sex marriage : March 19th 2011
Jesus didn't say a word against gays specifically but he did say something against sin and he did something for sinners. Like, love them to the point of being crucified unjustly to free and save all people from all sin and error. If homosexual intercourse is a sin Jesus isn't in favor of it or promoting a life-style or legislation making it seem OK to commit this sinful act. Just like Jesus isn't for any sin like divorce, fornication, or adultery.
