That's because it isn't taught for modern Christians.

Well, a lot of this is Old Testament. Modern Christians don't pay much attention to that, as far as I know.

He is right, modern christians are taught that due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (who is known as, if I am not mistaken, the Lord's Lamb? The Lamb? Something like that) all sins have permanently been washed away, similarly to how in the Old Testament a man would have to sacrifice his greatest lamb to prove his devotion to God and cleanse himself for the year, or something along those lines.

After the sacrifice and ressurection, Christians were taught that faith was the only necessity as the son of God had taken the burden of all their sins unto himself.

An entirely new culture sprung up due to the New Testament, the Old Testament was written in an entirely different era, where such things were tolerable and promoted.

But it is true, that was what was originally taught, but that is not what is taught now, nor is it what Christians believe. Christians read the Old Testament, but not all is taken to heart due to the sacrifice.

Right. Like conservative Christians, who fight valiantly against granting homosexuals rights based on that famous New Testament passage where Christ said, "Man, I really @#%$ hate gays."

I'm not Christian, so I really wouldn't know :) I'm assuming here, since I haven't seen many Christians murdering their kids for not upholding the good book. If they are using it, it must be for the homosexual arguement alone.

Homosexuality is condemned in the New Testament as well.

So? Its' not your soul, or your life, so what right would you have to decide wether it is acceptable or not?

Christianity was a faith based of Jesus' teachings.

Jesus taught forgiveness for all, didn't he?

After all, he was the one who decided to heal lepers and those possessed, or mentally ill.

Therefore, being a christian, Kas, wouldn't it be right to follow the rules set by Jesus, and not all the other scared folks who claimed to see god so they could get thier name in a book?


Before I close, I have one thing left to say.

I don't decide if it's acceptable -- that has already been decided.

It may not be my soul, but their blood is upon my hands if I do not make an attempt to tell them of my faith.

I don't hate the people, I hate their sin. I'm perfectly willing to accept the people, but the sin disgusts me. Not that I'm any better, sin is sin and I sin all the time, but I believe myself to be forgiven for those sins.

Yeah, but are you willing to forgive them?
