Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people's behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses. Christ Jesus unveiled more of the spiritual basis of the moral law, but of this law he said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17; Mrs. Eddy in her revelation of Christian Science shows us that human behavior in accord with the moral law is scientifically related to divine Truth. And in this scientific relationship we find the basis for the healing of sin. That homosexuality is a deviation from the moral law is made plain in the Bible, where it is recorded that the Lord spoke to Moses saying, "If a man ... lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them." Lev. 20:13; In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount we find the harshness of the Mosaic law modified. We also find emphasis placed more on motives than on overt acts. But we do not find any actual change in the rightness or wrongness of behavior in regard to sex. Lust is explained as a thing of the heart, and Christian Science shows that the motives of the heart govern the acts of the body as well as the health of the body.

      First, I’d suggest you to take some classes on writing and syntax, your posts are barely readable and understandable.

      Second, the old testament is the foundation of the new one so its core tenants are still considered valid by all Christian denominations, some even recognizing it more authority in respect to the new testament.

      Third, a father should be obeyed AS LONG AS he is a reasonable and caring father. An abusive or violent parent should not be obeyed just like a tyrannical or undemocratic ruler shouldn’t, expecially if they ask for something causing stress or harm to his children/subjects.

      Fourth, a child would also not exist without his mother but in your Christian mindset this is never taken into account.

        Barely readable because you are Italian. (Italians bear with me for a while.)
        Barely understandable? What then can you understand?

        “Second, the old testament”: More display of ignorance.

        Children too don’t like to go to school. I can understand.

        1. School is stressful to children. But they need to be educated to get a job (self employed or not).
        2. Taking bath is stressful to children (they even shout and yell).
        3. The ear of female children needs to be bored for ear rings (great harm).

        There is one God.
        Two Gods: A problem (who created the other?)
        In the order of things here on earth,
        We have carnal fathers and mothers.
        Spiritually, we have fathers and mothers too.
