Only if you believe a series of stories, borrowed from older religions, and rewritten multiple times to reflect the political views of the church and state at that time. Give it another hundred years and there will another "Good News" version, where same sex relationships are endorsed - because the church will need the support of the gay community; many of whom are religious.
I never said they should. You said that sodomy was "perverse". Not in private or public. You said that the act is perverse in any setting.
Just want to point out that not all Bibles have been changed to suit the man made religion that man has created.
There are interpretations of the bible that differ but they are not rewritten to suit audiences. Homosexuality will NEVER be endorsed by the church.
How can you be so sure of this hacky?
I'm not 100% sure of it. It could have been done without malice. But it seems odd that someone would only show the church knowing full well on how many churches treat homosexuality.
Church of England allows priests to be in same-sex relationships as long as they don't have sex. Church of Wales allows priests to be in same-sex relationships and doesn't restrict sex.
It's being held in the churches forecourt, that to me suggests a lack of malice
Maybe. Maybe not. To me it seems more like malice. Or at least, a lack of understanding about what could be construed as offensive.
Not the latter mate... having it held in the location is bad enough, then including it in the flyer is another. No question about it.
I'm leaning that way, but at the same time I know how ignorant people are. And how easy it is to not pick up on this stuff.
Heres a promotional video posted on Sunset Piazza Instagram page. In the video you can see what starts off as the shape of a Body of Christ, the Eucharist in the chalice turns into a cocktail drink.
That's... That's one hell of a stretch there. A circular background is the shape of the body of christ?
The body of Christ as in the Eucharist (Communion) - that's the circular shape, they don't mean the shape of a body. And the Chalice which is the Challice (Cup) is designed to look like a cocktail glass. Combined they are poking fun of Christianity. Look at the image below...
Still seems very different to me.. But I guess it's psychological exposure thing. Like how people see the face of jesus in a piece of toast. It's what they're looking for unconsciously.
Mate I regard sodomy as perverse because it involves anal penetration, some find it stimulating you may also, but I believe that their are still people (I don't know what %) that would find that type of practice abhorrent, therefore perverse even in private, but should be allowed to do it in private only.
The anti Christians (mainly anti Catholics) like to poke fun on our religion. Do they realise that we have enough material on them for a field day, if we were to ignore Christ's teachings for a short time.
Yep. But my original response was "perverse according to the church"
