[M]ost people who accept homosexuality (actually all, in my experience) do not have a high view of Scripture or the deity of Jesus.
The reason PSPruett goes on and on about homosexuality is not that he hates poofs. It is that he has-
-what was that, Pruett?
"a high view of Scripture or the deity of Jesus".
I am glad that he does not claim to have “experience” of me. Really, Pruett? So you would behave morally, would you, and not be beastly to people who have done you no harm, were it not for your high view of Scripture? There are so few Christians left, Pruett, it really must be the End Times, because they are all falling away, all in danger of Hell, all (whisper it) accepting homosexuality. No-one accepts Scripture or believes in the Deity of Jesus any more.
Pruett, though, has to stand up for God (unless he thinks God stands up for Himself, by sending all those floods and storms). No belief in the Deity of Jesus, no Christian goodness, no self-sacrificing attempt to follow Jesus, is worth a damn unless you echo Pruett’s homophobia. Even The Pope is no longer a Christian, though he may be a Catholic.
OK, Pruett, you and the Bigot can enjoy your mutual appreciation society, while the church (following God) leaves you behind. Bye.
Here is an Italian bishop open to the arguments in favour of homosexuality.

I’ve always found it amusing that the word pandereta (tamborine) in Spanish is so close to pandering… Pruett is an annoying tamborine.

Well-
“Before Abraham was, I am” is taken as a claim to divinity, and this question could be interpreted as “Are you calling me God?”- open to the possibility, rather than a denial. Quakers and others, and various ancient Greeks, see God as in every human being, and there is a bit in the epistles somewhere about God making us younger siblings for Jesus or something. Then again “son of man” means human being.

Hello Clare. Your blogs are as always a pleasure to read, even for a died-in-the-wool atheist like me.
Firstly I keep an open mind to the historicity of Jesus, the man. But assuming that he did exist, I would like bigots like Pruett to show me exactly where Jesus, the man who told others not to judge and said that whoever came to him he would not turn away, said one word about homosexuality.
In fact, even if one looks at the scriptual interpretation, Jesus was said to be bringing a New Covenant, to replace the old one. Yet it is amazing how many people like Pruett will claim the New Covenant and bang on about Old Testament laws. This is called having your cake and eating it. Another name for it is hypocrisy.
And let’s face it, Pruett IS a hypocrite. He will bang on about homosexuality, yet I’ll bet he is not adverse to the odd bacon sanwich, shellfish, or wearing clothes of mixed fibres – all equally as condemend in Leviticus as homosexuality. It is not a matter of Pruett standing up for God, as you say, more it is that Pruett thinks he IS God, and, like so many of his ilk, abuses the Bible to hide behind and promote his own bigotry.
It strikes me therefore that if anyone does not have a high view of scripture of the alleged deity of Jesus, it is P.S.Pruett.
To use a scriptural reference, perhaps he would do better to remove the mote from his own eye first. 😉

In the post linked and comments, Pruett says that Jesus is God, God inspired the whole Bible, so Jesus inspired the bit about stoning us to death in Leviticus and the bits in Paul about how awful we are. He does not seek to convince you, only his own side. I would distinguish the moral law in the OT from the ceremonial law, which no longer applies-
Acts 15:19- I have reached the decision that we should not trouble those Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but we should write to them to abstain only from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from whatever has been strangled[e] and from blood.
Acts 21:25- But as for the Gentiles who have become believers, we have sent a letter with our judgement that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled[e] and from fornication.’

Theologically it could indeed be argued that Jesus was God, as he was God incarnate. However, in claiming that Jesus upholds the moral law of the OT, this creep effectively denies the New Covenant and the message of forgiveness Jesus preached.

It is also worth bearing in mind that this preposterous assertion was arrived at after the bible was written/printed at the instance of Constantine. There was already a christian church and already christian doctrine.
One only has to read the history of Gnosticism and Arianism and study what happened to many other Christian sects at the hands of the church after godhood was bestowed upon the narrative character of Jesus of Nazareth.
The nature of god was eventually written into law and pushed by Theodosius.

I think it is crucial to enable honest dialogue to fully understand the words and not attempt to tag along with Christian interpretation.
The bible was created after the formation of Christianity and notably a long time after the Christian church.
The widespread interpretation of the nature of Jesus did not include him as a god at any point until it was asserted
by those who wished for a unified doctrine. Even Eusebius rejected the idea that Jesus was God.
Furthermore, once Constantine was out of the picture his son reasserted the Arian doctrine and came down hard on those that claimed the character, Jesus was God.
Without being patronizing or condescending in any way, you should comprehensively research the history of your bible and religion.
Christianity, is largely based on the teachings of Saul of Tarsus, and he did not consider Jesus to be God.
If you can find a single line of biblical or religious text that clearly shows the character Jesus saying I am God then I will retract my statement.
I reiterate. The church bestowed godhood on the character Jesus of Nazareth.
