The New Covenant
Did you know that:
- The notorious 'anti-homo' laws of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 were scrapped by Moses himself, shortly before the Israelites entered The Promised Land?
- The remaining old Jewish laws, with the exception of the Twelve (Ten + Two) Commandments, are no longer in force within the New Covenant that Jesus sealed with all of humankind at The Last Supper?
- The word unnatural in Romans 1:26 is used correctly by St. Paul and does not need any special 'gay-friendly' re-interpretation?
- Abu Ghraib can be considered a modern version of Sodom?
This site, and the book with the same title Our love is right • com, presents a completely new vision of homosexuality in the Bible and in the Christian faith. It is entirely based on The New Covenant, the covenant that Jesus sealed with all of humankind at the Last Supper.
The purpose of the New Covenant of Love was not to fulfill the Old Covenant that God made with the Jews, but to replace it, and it was for this sole purpose that God sent his son Jesus into the world. The New Covenant was made with everyone, regardless of where they live, their race, sex, social status or sexual orientation. Beside this it is eternally valid and is celebrated in the Eucharist every Sunday, in hundreds of thousands of churches throughout the world.
The central position of The New Covenant to Christianity was beautifully illustrated at the funeral of the last Pope John Paul II. The New Testament alone - not the Old Testament - was placed on his coffin. A strong breeze played vigorously with its pages during the ceremony, vividly drawing attention to it in the marvellous video recording that was broadcast to the world.
Besides the New Covenant, the (first) Council of Jerusalem in the year 49, chiefly at the instigation of Saint Paul, came to some important decisions regarding the status of the old Jewish laws within the Christian faith. The implications of this Council are beautifully presented in the movie St. Paul by Roger Young (2000). You can watch a clip of this movie by clicking on the link below.
