Christians and Homosexuality

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the intolerance of many Christians towards homosexuality. Be that as it may, the paper suggests that intolerance towards gays and lesbians is contrary to the teachings of Christ and do far more harm than good. The paper shows that the schism between those vehemently opposed to homosexuals and those less so is a schism between the old and new testaments.

From the Paper:

"This paper will examine Christian attitudes towards homosexuality. In particular, this paper will examine the Christian divide over homosexuality. As will soon become evident, many Christians are appalled at the practice of homosexuality; that being noted, however, just as many Christians believe that it is imperative that Christian men and women love the sinner while reviling the sin. In both instances, the Holy Bible is used as an authoritative text for justifying strongly-held convictions on an issue that is among the most controversial ever to hound Christianity. In the case of this particular writer, my own humanist sensibilities have convinced me that tolerance and benevolence are both the most progressive approaches to this issue - and the most like the teachings of Jesus."
