@pooty said:The Bible says that the act of homosexual sex is immoral. I said nothing about the Bible. I said the core beliefs of what it means to be a Christian: specifically, belief that Jesus is the savior.@Kal'smahboi said:
Nothing about the core beliefs in Christianity says that you have to be "anti-gay." It is the moral stance that the church has taken, but the core beliefs say nothing of it.This is untrue. It is not something the church invented. From the old testament to the new testament, the bible itself speaks against homosexuality.
Here's a link to a copy of the Roman Catholic "Apostle's Creed," which makes no mention of sexuality at all. It's a summary of the core beliefs of the religion, the points in which can mostly be agreed upon by most Catholic faiths.In that case --- same sex couples should be allowed to be married -- to be baptised and to have their sins forgiven.
Your two points contradict each other. How can they be married AND have their sins forgiven if homoerotic actions are sinful? Not to mention the Apostles Creed comes after the NT documents were written.
It doesn't mention sexuality, but it mentions the authority of the Catholic Church (at the time, not just roman) and the forgiveness of sins. The churches authority was derived from scripture which still condemned homosexuality, as a sin, at the time. There's really no way to hop around it.
