Jimmy Carter: Jesus Would Approve Of Gay Marriage

Posted by | July 7, 2015 14:00 | Filed under: Politics


Former President Jimmy Carter says it’s just his “personal belief” but Jesus would have approved of gay marriage.

The one-term Democratic president noted that he was opposed to abortion, because he did not believe Jesus would approve. “Would Jesus approve gay marriage?” asked host Marc Lamont Hill.

“I believe he would, I believe Jesus would,” Carter said, before cautioning, “I don’t have any verse in scripture…”

“No no no, just intuitively, yeah,” Hill agreed.

“I believe that Jesus would approve of gay marriage, but I’m not– that’s just my own personal belief,” he concluded. “I think Jesus would approve of any love affair that was honest and sincere, and was not damaging to anyone else. And I don’t think that gay marriage damages anyone else.”

    Isn’t he one of the Three Wise Men?

    Does Carter really mean to say that the author of the natural law would condone un-natural acts? Carter has lost it big time!

    • tracey marie July 7th, 2015 at 15:16

      because only gay people have anal and oral sex? Unnatural is multiple marriages

      • John Tarter July 7th, 2015 at 16:11

        You are correct. One man and one woman for a lifetime is what Jesus recommends.

        • bpollen July 7th, 2015 at 18:11

          Evidence? All you have to support your “Jebus recommends” position is, at best, hearsay evidence. Everything was written ABOUT Jebus long after he is said to have died. There are no contemporaneous accounts of his words. Which leaves you with “some guy said Jebus thinks this way.”

          The Glorious and All Powerful Flying Spaghetti Monster disagrees with your puny god with no meatballs, who never took a wife, had a woman, or any children…he was gay
          What kind of a moron would take marital advice from a clown who spent his entire life as a closeted gay.

        • whatthe46 July 7th, 2015 at 21:29

          there are married couples who engage in anal sex with each other. did i forget to mention they are straight?

          • Robert M. Snyder July 7th, 2015 at 22:44

            There are married couples who engage in anal sex with each other. did i forget to mention they are straight?”

            You are absolutely right. So here’s something I have always wondered about. What is it about the opposite sex that straight people find sexually attractive? And what is it about the same sex that gay people find attractive?

            There are women who have very masculine characteristics, and men who have very feminine characteristics. So let’s say that a straight man is attracted to women. Does that mean he is attracted by all women, or only women having certain characteristics? And if certain men have similar characteristics, wouldn’t he be attracted to them as well?

            Most of the women and men that I know do not look much like the actresses and actors we see in movies. I know a lot of men with bald heads, double chins, and big guts. Some of them are talkative and assertive, and some are quiet and reserved. Some of the women I know are pear shaped, and some are apple shaped. Some have large bosoms and some are flat-chested. Some have soft features and some have chiseled features. Some are assertive and some are quiet and reserved. Almost all of them are straight.

            So what is it that a straight person finds sexually attractive in the opposite sex, or that a gay person finds sexually attractive in the opposite sex?

            It is easy to say “Straight men are attracted to women.”. But what is it about women that attracts them? Women come in all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of personalities. They dress in all sorts of ways and work in all sorts of jobs. The same is true of men.

            Suppose that Caitlyn Jenner meets a straight man in a bar. The man might very well find her sexually attractive. Is that because of her physical characteristics, her personality, her pheromones? Now suppose the man’s friend leans over and tells him that the hot babe sitting next to him used to be a man. There’s a pretty good chance that the man will instantly lose all feelings of attraction for Caitlyn.

            But nothing about Caitlyn has changed. The only difference is that the man now thinks of Caitlyn as a man. So it’s not simply her physical characteristics, or her personality, or even her pheromones that attract him. It’s the belief that she is a woman.

            This makes me think that sexual attraction is largely determined by culture. The man has been taught to think that he should only be attracted to people of the opposite sex. The physical characteristics are secondary. He might also be attracted to women who look very different from Caitlyn and who have very different personalities. It seems that for many people, the *primary* factor is the belief that the other person is the opposite (or same) sex.

            Suppose Caitlyn strikes up a conversation with a lesbian in a bar and the lesbian gets the hots for Caitlyn, believing her to be a woman. At some point her friend leans over and says “She used to be a guy”. That could very well be a turn-off for the lesbian. But once again, nothing about Caitlyn has changed, except for the lesbian’s assumptions about her gender.

            Apparently, for many people, it is more important for the partner to be of the opposite (or same) sex than any physical or personality characteristics of the person.

            This is why I really question the degree to which sexual orientation is governed by biology. It seems that cultural forces are much stronger than biological forces. All of the biological triggers can be saying “Go, go, go!”, but a single piece of information (about gender) from a friend can shut down the attraction in an instant.

            • whatthe46 July 7th, 2015 at 22:56

              you said all that to say basically: being gay is biological. even though you didn’t mean to.

I have not called you any names. I have not insulted you. I merely put forth some hypothetical situations and asked some open-ended questions. I don’t deserve to be insulted. What are you afraid of?

                    • whatthe46 July 8th, 2015 at 00:25

                      because you are irritating! really? you keep saying stupid crap and it’s as if you enjoy being ignorant or stupid. i’m not going to apologize. why on earth is it any of your bees wax, what 2 people do in the privacy of their own homes and bedrooms, when it’s not illegal? do you support pedo’s, do you support the duggars, do you support the confederate rag? you have a stupid hangup on gays, and voice such hatred, as if that’s the worse of the worse in this country. STOP IT!

                    • Robert M. Snyder July 8th, 2015 at 00:43

                      The title of this article we are commenting on is “Jesus would approve of gay marriage”. There are LOTS of articles on this blog (Liberaland) about gay marriage and gay rights. What is the point of these articles? If everyone is in total agreement, then why even have a discussion?

                      I do not have a hang-up on gays. I am pretty open minded. My goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of the issues. People seem to make a lot of assumptions. I have always been a person who questions assumptions and challenges the status quo.

                      No matter who I am interacting with, I want to be in a position to challenge any assumptions that they are making. If someone says that CO2 is harmless, I want to understand the issues well enough to challenge them. If somebody says that New Orleans is flooding mainly because of sea level rise, I want to understand the issues well enough to challenge them as well.

                      If you search my Disqus history (which I have not restricted), I think you will find me challenging people on many issues, not just issues related to same-sex marriage. My most recent comments might be heavy on that issue, but that’s because it has been in the news recently due to the SCOTUS ruling.

                It sounds as if you are uncomfortable with the notion that your own sexual identity is not set in stone and might actually be a result of how you were raised. Most of us find certain types of people more sexually attractive than others. But nobody seems to be able to identify the specific characteristics that make the difference. Most people would instantly rule out half of the population based upon knowledge of their gender. But it is pretty easy to fool a person, for example when communicating by social media. There does not appear to be a clear set of physical, emotional, or intellectual traits that are clearly male or female. There is lots of overlap, and the overlap probably increases among senior citizens where male/female differences are less pronounced. If being a straight male means you are sexually attracted only to women, then what is it about those women that straight men find attractive? And why are straight men usually not attracted to men who have very similar physical, emotional, and intellectual characteristics to the women they find attractive? Do those questions frighten you?

                • Mike July 8th, 2015 at 18:37

                  Lmao…let’s face it, you observational skills are nothing short of terrible as exhibited by your shallow thinking and one dimensional views. I’ve had more engaging arguments with my grandkids.
                  I think I’m a bit passed the age of questioning my sexuality..but it was an amusing attempt to derail the conversation and try to recoup what little respect anyone reading this might have had for you.

                    Scroll up a bit and you’ll see a post from bpollen where he states that all of the following types of animals engage in homosexual behavior:

                    “Bison, brown bear, brown rat, cat, cattle, dolphin, dog, elephant, fox, giraffe, goat, horse, koala, lion, orca, raccoon. Barn owl, chicken, gull, emu, king penguin, mallard, raven.”

                    It is my understanding that these animals do not *exclusively* engage with a single sex. An animal that sometimes engages in behaviors with members of the same sex will also make sexual contact with members of the opposite sex. Their gender preferences is not rigidly homo- or hetero-sexual.

                    Yet most humans consider their own orientation to be either strictly homosexual or else strictly heterosexual. This is something that sets us apart from the animal world. I suspect that the difference is in the degree to which cultural forces shape our identities.

                    Our culture insists that we choose a single sexual orientation. But animals are much more flexible, because they don’t experience these cultural forces to the same degree as humans.

                    Of course most people don’t feel as if they have a choice. They can’t imagine themselves having a different orientation. But then again, most liberals cannot possibly imagine themselves as conservatives, just as most Muslims cannot possibly imagine themselves as Catholics. But nobody says that they are biologically liberal or biologically Muslim. Cultural forces are incredibly powerful. Once we have been conditioned to see ourselves in a certain way, it is very difficult to imagine that we could change.

                    I understand why you are having trouble accepting the notion that your own sexual orientation might not be as rigidly fixed as you have been taught to believe. If I suggested that you were capable of becoming a conservative or capable of becoming a Catholic bishop, you would probably have trouble accepting that as well.

                    Sex, politics, and religion are mostly just ways of thinking. Never underestimate the flexibility of the human mind.

                      If you take the time to read the Univ of Oslo study you will see it was much more comprehensive than the study LeVay did back in 91 and arrives at a completely different conclusion…

                      FWIW, a little bit about me. While in college I became good friends with a gay man in his thirties. On a dare, the two of us visited a nudist camp, twice, where we “did as the Romans do”. I have a B.S. in Computer Science. I was raised Protestant, and my wife is Catholic. I worked in a university research lab for five years where I befriended a Muslim man from Bahrain who later attended our Catholic wedding. I stopped attending church after college. I loved the fellowship, but had too many issues with the theological contradictions.

                      You referred to me as a “two bit right-wing homophobic racist religious nut job with the mental processing skills of a child in an online chat room”.

                      Believe what you like. It has little resemblance to reality.

          “They just act.” That means they’re following your so-called “natural law.” Naturally.

            The “they just act” decimates his argument from his own Spud-filled mouth (well, keyboard.) If they “just act” and they are creations of Gawd, Davy, then they are behaving as Gawd intended. An omniscient Gawd would know they were going to act that way; an omnipotent Gawd could have made them different; an omnipresent Gawd WATCHES them doing it.

        • bpollen July 7th, 2015 at 21:09

          On the contrary, they DO think. You are WAAAAAY behind the science times. Do you say that young humans can’t think? Chimpanzee’s are described as being like young children in terms of cognitive ability. Chimps and great apes and orangs are capable of expressing abstract concepts via sign language and even make up jokes.

          Why don’t you show that they can’t think? Include your CV so that we know you have the requisite expertise to contradict established science.

          Oh, and I DO think that humanity has many many differences across the species… eye shape, pigmentation, height, frame, and even sexual orientation. There is absolutely no credible evidence that sexual orientation is a matter of people choosing to be demeaned, insulted, and discriminated against by bigots like you. Feel free to show evidence to the contrary. If you can’t, then there is NO reason for rational people to think you are anything other than a bigoted judgmental metathesiophobic.

Had a parrot (he and my cockatiels died in a house fire) who would call me by name when he wanted his cage uncovered. He also required me to put a lock on his cage because anything short of that wouldn’t prevent him from breaking out of his cage and slipping into the other cage to terrorize the cockatiels…

        Jesus was God Incarnate here on earth, thus He was the author of the “natural law” that exists in this world. As for dogs and humping, we are not animals but higher beings who can think things through. Let’s see, a penis and a naturally lubricated vagina – a perfect fit!

          damn you talk stupid so well.

        • William July 7th, 2015 at 21:11

          The 911 hijackers didn’t come in through the southern border.
          Try again Bozo

          • whatthe46 July 7th, 2015 at 21:18

            i don’t know what this fool is talking about. maybe he’s been swallowing the trump (cough) saliva, bypass the kool-aid.

        • bpollen July 7th, 2015 at 22:09

          “He lost me early on, right after 9-11 when he didn’t shut down the southern border, remember?”

          Let me consult my notes…. all I can find is “Tater said something stupid again.” I guess I don’t remember that. Theology is hardly your strong suit Deal with the log in your own eye before you complain that you think there’s a mote in Jimmy’s.

    • William July 7th, 2015 at 20:35

      Does Carter really mean to say that the author of the natural law ….
      Here ya go Skippy.
      Try not to blow a fuse.

      • Larry Schmitt July 7th, 2015 at 20:58

        And when Cain was banished to the land of Nod after killing Abel, where did his wife come from?

        • William July 7th, 2015 at 21:08

          Good question. If a pair penguins traveled to the middle east to get on an ark, then I suppose anything is possible.

        • Mike July 7th, 2015 at 22:29

          Book of Enoch answers all those questions…for years it was forbidden to read by the church.

      • John Tarter July 7th, 2015 at 20:58

        Look, I don’t believe in a literal interpretation of the Holy Scriptures, especially with the Old Testament. If God had started telling us humans about DNA and all that scientific stuff no one could have understood it, but there are some things that are in line with what nature proclaims. But hey, what are you trying to say here, that a little incest was going on? Who knows, you could be on to something.

        • William July 7th, 2015 at 21:05

          Cherry picking the Bible huh?
          Well it’s to be expected.
          You do the same with the Constitution.
          BTW, had you actually read the Bible, you would know of at least 6 incidences of incest mentioned in the Bible.

        • whatthe46 July 7th, 2015 at 21:08

          “…especially with the Old Testament.” still to this day, even with the new testament, your rwnj, “christians” blah blah blah, still believe that the human race started out with one man and one woman.

      • rhzszm July 8th, 2015 at 03:08

        Jimmy just told all you idiots to pork each other in the butt. Of course he didn’t cite any scripture.

        Cain and Abel. Genesis 4, read it.

        • whatthe46 July 8th, 2015 at 03:26

          you pork your wife and she porks you. or are you porking in the closet with another porker? it’s ok. my GOD still loves you.

          • rhzszm July 8th, 2015 at 03:34

            Please do not use God to justify your free-form immorality or immaturity. It is heresy and false witness.

            There is only one God. He does not condone adultery because it causes at least three people pain and creates at least three twisted and perverse relationships with broken trust. Jesus does not condone adultery either. Matthew 19. Matthew 5:27-28.

            • whatthe46 July 8th, 2015 at 03:48

              but, multiple wives are ok. it’s in the bible. stop cherry picking. and you’re a porker or the porky or porked or whatever.

            • bpollen July 8th, 2015 at 05:02

              Please prove the existence of Gawd, the truth of virtually anything in the bible, the existence of Jesus, and you also need to show proof that the quotes in the bible attributed to him are actual quotes and not made up (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were written LONG after his putative death.)

              If you can do that, then maybe your position would be credible. As it stands, it has as much proof as the story of Hansel and Gretel.

            • Larry Schmitt July 8th, 2015 at 16:47

              Members of every religion say the same thing: There is only one god. They can’t all be right. My guess is they’re all wrong.

            • whatthe46 July 8th, 2015 at 21:09

              blah blah blah.

        • William July 8th, 2015 at 07:45

          I listened to that interview, and I cannot find the part where President Carter told anyone to “pork each other in the butt”.
          It is very interesting that your obsession with anal sex transcends all the way to fantasizing about a 90 year old man endorsing anal sex.
          Maybe you could get some help?
          Google: mental health clinics in your area. Read it.

          • Larry Schmitt July 8th, 2015 at 16:48

            If the republican legislators in your state didn’t de-fund all the mental health services.

    • Allison Renée Alworth July 7th, 2015 at 23:17

      He was a whole heck of a lot better than the guy who was the president right after him. Jimmy Carter had to clean up the mess that the two presidents before him left.

  3. Plain Vanilla July 7th, 2015 at 17:49

    Jesus himself would have married a man had he not had to choose between 12 of them…

    • Larry Schmitt July 7th, 2015 at 17:51

      Well, he probably would have ruled out Judas.

    • The Original Just Me July 8th, 2015 at 01:14

      One of them did betray him, does that count for anything ? Sounds like married life to me.

  4. Mike July 7th, 2015 at 18:14

    Not so sure Jebus wasn’t gay…never took a wife, never had a love affair or kids…I’m going with closet gay.

    • The Original Just Me July 8th, 2015 at 01:12

      Okay, now you have me thinking, yup, that can be bad, When the stoning of Mary thing was going on, Jesus said let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Well, he didn’t pickup a stone did he ? I don’t know where I’m going with this. It just hit me. It’s bed time.

      • Mike July 8th, 2015 at 14:07

        Go to bed and stop trying to debate fairy tales…otherwise I’ll ask you who would win a fight between Rocky and Rambo…Rambo’s got the big knife but Rocky’s got a mean left hook…
        I’m going with Rocky cuz the music will start playing and throw Rambo off his game…what say you..???

        • The Original Just Me July 8th, 2015 at 20:31

          I’ll have to go with Rocky also. Rambo is a loner but Rocky has this Great Big Russian Buddy.

  5. arc99 July 7th, 2015 at 22:22

    This country and the world would be a lot better off if we had more Christians like President Carter and Pope Francis.

    But what we have are hate-mongering ideologues like the son of Graham and that Bryan Fischer lunatic. Too bad..

  6. illinoisboy1977 July 8th, 2015 at 11:56

    I don’t think much of Jimmy Carter as a President, but I don’t think you’ll find a better example of human decency. He’s a good man.

    • Larry Schmitt July 8th, 2015 at 16:43

      He’s the best ex-president of at least the last century.

  7. Robert Kennedy July 8th, 2015 at 17:15

    And God said “Go forth and be fruitful.”
    Oh….

  8. Adam in Christ July 8th, 2015 at 20:02

    Well, if President Carter took the time to read the Scriptures in context, he would plainly see that the only form of marriage that God ordained was that between one man and one woman:

    Marriage Covenant with Scriptural Affirmations

    Genesis 2:23-24
    …(23)And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. (24)Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh…

    Matthew 19:4-6
    …(4)And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (5)And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6)Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder…

    Mark 10:6-8
    …(6)But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (7)For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8)And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. (9)What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder…

    1 Corinthians 6:15-17
    …(15)Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (16)What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (17)But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit…

    Ephesians 5:30-31
    …(30)For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. (31)For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh…

    • Adam in Christ July 8th, 2015 at 20:02

      Scripture not to be Altered

      (addresses and solves the argument that God “didn’t say anything” in regards to other marriages, sexual relations, etc.)

      Deuteronomy 4:2
      …Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you…

      Deuteronomy 12:32
      …What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it…

      Proverbs 30:5-6
      …(5)Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (6)Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar…

      Revelation 22:18-19
      …(18)For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (19)And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book…
