    If he gets fired for expressing his beliefs, then he's absolutely getting bullied.

    Was that an offer to have homosexual sex with him?

    No, I didn't. Broussard did. Any more than you're saying that it's okay to bully Christians because they're Christians.

    Broussard says it as if your sexual performance is a choice. If that where the case I'm sure all of us would be going to hell.

    Just to be clear on what Jason says he believes:
    So, you might see why CB might have dug into him.

    The question of whether a person can be a "Christian" and only believe in the parts of the Bible that they agree with, is a good one. Jason opened the door here.

    IMO Christians should look to Christ's thoughts on homosexuality, if he had any

    Just to be clear here for those of you who may miss some of what CB was saying, ALL Christians are (and were) sinners. Being Christian is accepting Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. Part of that acceptance is repenting of our sin. There is a difference between sinning and being repentant, and living a lifestyle in sin, being unrepentant, and still saying you are a Christian.

    An earlier poster was correct, that nobody who is not a Christian should be expected to live by the standards in the Bible. Why would they? But, Jason is holding himself out here as a Christian--at least to some extent.

    Jason Collins ‏@jasoncollins34

    All the support I have received today is truly inspirational. I knew that I was choosing the road less traveled but I'm not walking it alone

    Technically, if CB eats shellfish he isn't following the teachings in the bible either. Literal interpretation is tricky place to tread, especially Leviticus.

    Matthew 19:4-6

    4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made[a] them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?[c] 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

    Old Testament vs. New Testament (thats why we follow jesus)

    Jesus broke all the old testament rules so that we dont have to follow them... lot of examples i can get into

    Seems weird Christ never mentioned it, yet people who worship him seem so caught up in it for some reason

    Kinda silly

    It is not an old testament doctrine. It is mentioned all through the new testament too. Mostly by Paul.
