Pat Robertson: Jesus more likely to stone gays to death than bake them a wedding cake

[kpete]

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Wednesday argued that Jesus would have never baked a wedding cake for LGBT couples because it was more common to stone homosexuals during biblical times.

After a CBN report on a Colorado baker who supported an Arizona bill that would have allowed businesses to discriminate against LGBT couples, Robertson reflected on how Jesus would have responded if a gay couple asked him for a wedding cake.

“I think you’ve got to remember from the Bible, you look carefully at the Bible, what would have happened in Jesus’ time if two men decided they wanted to cohabitate together, they would have been stoned to death,” he explained. “So, Jesus would not have baked them a wedding cake, nor would he he have made them a bed to sleep in because they wouldn’t have been there.”

2. Jesus said NOTHING about gays. About people like Pat, however. . .

[VanillaRhapsody]

3. I thought Jesus was a carpenter not a baker or stone mason!

[Terra Alta]

4. yeah, Pat, just like how Jesus stoned the woman caught in adultery.

Oh.. wait.. he didn't.

Jesus has nothing to say about homosexuality, but he did have lots to say about not judging others, and loving your neighbor.

5. Jesus condemned religious hypocrisy more than sexual immorality. A lot more...

You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Matthew 23:33
(speaking to Pharisees)

And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more. John 8:11
(speaking to prostitute at the well)

In the familiar story of the healing of the centurion's slave, the "servant" was probably the officer's lover. This was a common practice during those times when military campaigns lasted for years. It would explain why the centurion was reluctant for Jesus to go to his home. And why Jesus did not offer to bring to his Jewish followers to the centurion's living quarters. "The centurion replied, Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed." Matthew 8:8

6. Sad, pathetic, disgusting and totally lacking compassion and understanding.

7. More proof that "Christians" like Robertson have nothing in common with Christ.

He is right about one thing though: Jesus was a carpenter, not a baker. He would build a wedding bed for His gay friends, not bake them a cake.

8. What Bible does this guy read?

He's talking about what happened in Jesus' time but the whole new testament is about how Jesus didn't follow those old rules.

9. As if we needed more proof of Pat's untreated senility. nt

10. Somebody, please, grab a shovel and

throw dirt on that smelly, decaying corpse.

11. Hey Pat!!!

12. Has Pat ever read the Bible?!

I specifically remember a story involving Jesus, stoning, and the former's rather negative opinion on the latter.

14. Jesus: "Pat Robertson more likely to burn in hell than to... well anything."
