In school, I was taught that it was morally wrong to be prejudice and lynch black people.


Now, let me ask your questions back to you.  Is it your opinion that humanities teachers should teach morals?   Which morals do you teach?  There are sectors of our world, and even our nation, which morally believe that slavery is fine.   Why should we accept one view over another?


I was also taught that in other countries where women who refuse pre-arranged marriages are shot and killed, or strangled, is morally wrong.


Maybe we shouldn't be teaching that either?  In fact, I was taught in school that homosexuality is ok.  Why is it ok to teach one set of moral values and not another?   Why are you values ok to teach, and mine or not?   Who's to say?   You told me yourself that you are going around speaking about homosexuality.   By what authority do you claim that is fine, but if I were to go teaching kids homosexuality is wrong, that's not fine?


 




Ok, I'll bite.  What interpretation of this verse, does one come to believe G-d is not against homosexuality?






Again, I can't speak for "a lot of Christians", and nor should I.  They will answer to G-d for their sin, same as myself.   I will only have to answer for my own sins.   One sin that will not be counted against me is to deny G-d's law, because I will not do it.


To answer your question directly, no.  G-d does not give points for causing others pain.


Read what Jesus said:



When he said "you have heard that it was said", whom do you think he was talking about?   Likely the religious leaders of the day, right?   Just as you refer some of the religious leaders of our day.


I do not obey them, anymore than I obey those telling me to ignore G-d's law.  I and not following either.  I follow the word of G-d.




I have to admit that on further research of this topic, I am appalled by the sickening reasoning used by the Catholic church, and am glad not to be in that cultish group.


Nevertheless, as it relates to the topic, after going through the transcript of Joan of Arc's trial and final sentience to death, there is nothing of her being homosexual.  The only thing listed is that she wore mens clothing to avoid being abused by the men in the prison.  The idiots in the church, put Joan of Arc, in a secular prison not controlled by the church, and one that was controlled by the enemies of Joan.   Her abuse, and subsequent disguise in mens clothing were unavoidable.


I wager the writer of the book, got ahold of some propaganda by her enemies, which accused her of all things as best they could.  There is no real evidence that she was homosexual.  I'm sorry, the evidence just isn't there.  At least, I have not yet seen anything credible yet.
