sbscout: that is bollocks, pardon my language...

The Old Testament does not either counts or not.

Doesn't the OT say an eye for an eye? Doesn't say that anywhere in the NT. Quite the opposite. The New Testament goes a totally different path on several issues, and nowhere does it mention any kinds of food that shouldn't be eaten.

The commandments however (even though they are part of the OT), stand above most parts of the OT. Not like Deut.'s rules and obligations that were added alot later.

I actually find his argument intruiging when it comes to Sodomma & Gomorra. It could very well be that people misinterpreted the event as a punishment against homosexuality instead of rape.

Masturbation a sin you say sbscout: where's it *say* that in the Bible? (asking, not sure but I doubt you're gonna find it)
Covetting: gotta agree, you are sinning there, no matter how you look at it. Accept it, it's part of being human. Letting yourself go down and lose yourself in it is another matter entirely. As a Christian, you aspire to reach the guides and commandments set in the Holy Book. You'll never reach them though, that's not the point. The point is you earnestly try to.

I dunno who ever said it, but as a Christian it is your task to be tolerant and accepting of other people's choices in life. They are hard enough as it is. It's God's right to judge and condemn. Not the people on this earth.

And yes, I am a catholic too.
