Since "bible-literalist christians" like yourself claim that the Bible is to be taken literally when it comes to homosexuality, I challenge you (and them) to take the words of Jesus literally and obey HIM!!!

Jesus said sell all your poscession bible literalists, when will you do so?

Luke 14:33 In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. (NIV)

Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (KJV)

(etc.)

Christians who constantly claim that the Bible is to be taken literally would be more convincing if they took the words of Him whom they call "Lord", that is Jesus literally and actually obeyed Him!!!

I heard this morning from a friend who told me Paul's father was one of the thieves on the cross to the right or left of Jesus.

How did he know?

'My old man is crucified with Christ' :-)!
