Born that way.

Few things:

• Leviticus is a list of rules for the Levites, with the part you're drawing from being the Holiness Code, so I don't think it really applies to us today
• That just some old jewish stuff that Jesus came to rid us of anyways
• This threaed is concerned with the NT and what Jesus taught

I think part of that has to do with them perceiving "being gay" as more than just being attracted to the same sex. I sorta get it in that the gays I know can turn on/off the whole limp wrist and talking with a lisp thing like the flip of a switch, so the whole "gay demeanor" thing is what I think is being referred to as a lifestyle choice. But I dunno, religious zealots aren't really all that consistant nor make much sense.

That's what Jesus himself claimed: its about the spirit of the law, not the letter. Love god and love your neighbor as yourself. Simple.Its not really pick-n-mix... well for some it is. Christians are supposed to follow Christ... we're not Biblicans... well some are. It makes sense that people want things to make sense and you can do that by rationalizing it. That's just not good theology. Christianity shouldn't really have a problem with homosexuals, and you'll find that many don't. Now, sex is a whole different thing, but they don't want anybody having fun with it So for the specific topic here: Don't you think that Jesus would preach to love the gays? Don't you think that the passage about eunichs brought up in the OP could be interpreted to be referring to the gays as being born that way?
