I pwn :bringit:

1. Do not apply the actions of past "Christians" to the actual teachings. What is said and what is done varies due to the fallacy of humanity.

2. I stand by my original logic.

3. Wait, I'm going to reply to what oojay said about the choice to be homosexual or not.

If God, in his infinite power, designs man, then it is safe to assume that personality is inherently ingrained into a person. People can learn different behaviors, but even from birth, some children are more out going, more adaptable, etc. With this in mind, it is also safe to assume that due to this inherent behavior, Man is predisposed towards certain behaviors. Homosexuality is a behavior. It is a geneticly ingrained behavior.

To deny someone the same rights as someone else based on genetics is bigotry.

You oojay, are a bigot. Have fun in church!

False. The Jewish Holy book is the Torah which is the first 5 books of the Modern Bible.

Yes, but Jews also use a branch of texts and incorporate more of the Old Testament books, while those of the Torah constitute the core of Jewish dogma. In the same way the New Testament constitutes the core of Christian dogma. The point still remains that Christianity is, in essence, little more than a denomination of Judaism in the same way that Mormonism, Jehovahs Witnesses and the ilk are denominations of Christianity.

Actually, the Jewish holy book is the Tanakh, which consists of the Torah, the Nevi'im, and the Ketuvim, and is the same thing as the Old Testament though I think the books are in a slightly different order.

Really, in all my religeon corses we refered to it as the Torah...though she was an episcopaliean lesbian...damn godless mutts.

Hmm..didn't know that. Iz you jewish by any chance?

No, but I can read wikipedia. Torah only represents the "law" or "instruction" section of the Jewish Bible, whereas the other parts are "Prophets" and "Writings." With all the books represented, it is apparently most similar to the Protestant version of the Old Testament, I think a couple parts recognized by other Christian denominations aren't recognized by the Jewish faith.

Right, I was going to include the part about the prophets in my question but...was too lazy too? There are various versions of the Old Testament?

Different Christian denominations have slightly different versions. Most non-Protestant denominations include the Deuterocanonical books, which were removed by Martin Luther, and whose inclusion in the Bible was disputed by the early Church.
