A neighbor was speaking to me yesterday, quoting old testament scripture and how people choose to be gay, we have a long way to go in educating people.

A lot of things that are condemned today are not so in their bibles (plural). It is simply about control. What ever happened to the 7 deadly sins? How many clergy/thumping politicians woud be condemned if this was still touted!

I agree totally with the sentiment and in no way shape or form condemn or even dislike homosexuals,

However the only problem with using "Jesus never condemned...." as a basic for doctrinal reform in primitive, bigoted barbaric religions is that argument can also be used for slavery, bestiality, child molestation, rape, intellectual property theft (something Jesus did a lot), wife beating, dope smoking, animal cruelty, pornography, etc.
Also in Matthew 5:18 Jesus says all the old testament laws still apply and that he has not come to abolish them, in which case the implication is that the condemnation of Homosexuality as part of that law still carries a death sentence.

All I am saying is you can use the Bible to prove anything you like, it is a self contradictory book of bronze age nonsense.

He may have failed as a President but he excelled as a human being. Then again, the stature of all past Presidents has risen due to the current office holder. ( Andrew Jackson excepted )

One of the most respected presidents

Yeah I Jimmy Carter.

Seems like he's really tried to do good.

Also I think he might be the last President I actually had respect for?
