Lawmaker: Army fired 11 in Jan. as openly gay

Let's begin with

Matthew 7;
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Aside from the fact Christ never addressed gay people, nor did the Ten Commandments ever mention gay people, (yes, there were gay people then) I think this pretty much sums it up. Most people believe that being homosexual is biological while a small percentage still believe it is a choice. Do we really know how God views it when He never talked about it? As for what is written in the Bible that did not come from the Ten Commandments or the Red Letters of the Bible (The words attributed to Christ Himself) the rest is interpretations of man and we know how wrong man got it just by reading the Bible. They believed that people who were ill were sick because God made them sick instead of eating bad food. They believed that it was an equal sin to eat shellfish as it was for a man to lay with another man. For Heaven's sake!

According to the Bible any woman that divorced her husband and married someone else is guilty of adultery and they used to stone women to death. Are we still doing that now or are we having serial marriages? So how is it that we are judging other people now over what they do? Did Christ not say that there is nothing evil that can enter into you but what comes out of you is evil?

Mark 7

14Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.' "[f]

You may think this part allows us to condemn gay people but then you'd have to condemn just about everyone else you know.

20He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' 21For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "

Have a friend that is greedy? Have a friend that lies? Dresses too sexy? Do you? How about your ego? Is that in compliance with what Christ was talking about here? Read what He said and then think of what we've done to the true message He continually delivered when He told us not to judge anyone.

WASHINGTON — The Army fired 11 soldiers in January for violating the military’s policy that gay service members must keep their sexuality hidden, according to a Virginia congressman.

Democratic Rep. Jim Moran said he has requested monthly updates from the Pentagon on the impact of the policy until it is repealed. In a statement released on Thursday, Moran said the discharged soldiers included an intelligence collector, a military police officer, four infantry personnel, a health care specialist, a motor-transport operator and a water-treatment specialist.

“How many more good soldiers are we willing to lose due to a bad policy that makes us less safe and secure?” asked Moran, a member of the House panel that oversees military spending.
