“Apparently, if you could refrigerate homosexuality like pork, it would no longer be a sin”

I believe argument is that the ban on pork (and the wearing of garments made of two kinds of cloths and eating shellfish, etc) were suspended by Jesus in the NT.

But AFAIK, the NT also comes down against homosexuality as well.

And St. Paul was probably a self-loathing, repressed homosecual as well, like a lot of those who are so vehemently against it.

Personally, I have a hard time imagining Jesus (a.s.) tucking into a bacon double-cheeseburger. But I could be wrong of course - after all, I’ve never met the fellow.

As to St. Paul; yeah, I could see that. When I read the Pauline epistles, I was thinking to myself, “That’s a whole supertanker full of projection and self-loathing old Paul’s got goin’ on.”

But as people have pointed out, there’s been a lot of edits to the New Testament over the centuries, not to mention the whole debate over the Q-Document.
