those who are mournful and angry about the
outcome of this election, doubtful about the
integrity of the process, and opposed to the
neoconservative agenda are Christians who
believe the name of Christ is being pressed into
service to market a political agenda impossible
to align with the ethics, mission, or character
of Jesus..."

Gay & Christian? Yes! by William H.
Carey
*
Can a person be Gay and Christian? Many churches
say no. Many quote Bible passages that make it
appear that God condemns homosexuality. But if
we take a closer look, reading the scripture in
the original Hebrew and Greek, we discover that
God never condemned homosexuality, and that
same-sex marriage existed in Bible times.

by mainstream Christians and translators.
