Baptist Minister Rev. Peter Gomes discusses why he believes Jesus would have supported the idea of gay marriage.
-----
"What did Jesus preach?" asks Harvard pastor Peter J. Gomes, who believes that excessive focus on the Bible and doctrines about Jesus have led the Christian church astray.
To recover the transformative power of the gospel - "the good news" - Gomes says we must go beyond the Bible and rediscover how to live out Jesus's original revolutionary message of hope.
With eloquence and insight, using examples from ancient times as well as modern pop culture, Gomes shows us why the good news is every bit as relevant today as it was when first preached - Grace Cathedral
The Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes is an American Baptist minister ordained to the Christian Ministry by The First Baptist Church of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Since 1970 he has served in The Memorial Church, Harvard University; and since 1974 as Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in The Memorial Church.
His most recent work, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus, includes extensive commentary and observation on the interrelations of Church and State throughout history and particularly in recent US history.
Alan Jones, Ph.D., has been dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco since 1985. Jones was formerly the director of the Center for Christian Spirituality and Stephen F. Bayne Professor of Ascetical Theology at General Theological Seminary in New York City. Born and educated in England, Jones was also on the staff of Trinity Institute of Wall Street's Trinity Church. He became a citizen of the United States in 1975.Jones is the author of several books, most notably, Soul Making, The Desert Way of Spirituality, Passion for Pilgrimage and most recently, The Soul's Journey: Exploring the Three Passages of the Spiritual Life with Dante as a Guide.

People who wore two garments of clothes were put to death! I know!!! for a fact! right now you are wearing or have wore two different garments of clothes (cotton, wool) your argument is so invalid.

Well, if you read the whole chapter you'll realize that everyone had fled when the soldiers had come to apprehend Jesus. One young person stayed back but when they grabbed him he ran for his life like the others. It was not uncommon for people to wear only a tunic and nothing else in the time of Jesus. We also know prior to the arrival of his betrayers Christ had spent most of the even Praying in the Garden not far from the Disciples - who fell asleep.

I'm a catholic but I think that we shouldn't have to dislike gays. People bullying them, and they are committing suicide over it? It just doesn't feel right to me. I want everyone to feel equal and to be nice to everyone. I don't know, someone help.

51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.

People cant understand what is to be a gay person that's what I think. I am not arguing that being gay is a genetic issue, or a disease or even a person's choice.
