I just read the sweetest love story... has anyone else read it?
The story between David and Jonathan.
"The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul ... And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments ... and his girdle." 1 Samuel 18:1-4
"Jonathan ... delighted much in David." 1 Samuel 19:2
Saul is angered by his son's homosexual affair with David and says, "do not I know that thou has chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion of thy mother's nakedness?" 1 Samuel 20:30
David and Jonathan "kissed one another, and wept with one another" when they parted for the last time. 1 Samuel 20:41
David says to Jonathan: "very pleasant has thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of woman." 2 Samuel 1:26
Does it feels good to know that at least not the WHOLE bible is filled with people "exterminating" gay people?
any thoughts-
