The second group is against us for no real religious reasons.Did the Bible not say to love one another and not judge? Of course homosexuality was an abomination! The Bible was translated during a time of great bigotry,racism and sexism! If the works were done in today's time using today's scholars,do YOU think that MAYBE we would find the words had entirely DIFFERENT meanings?If only we could turn back the clock and see and fully understand the original text.We might finally know what peace on earth and unconditional love truly mean.
