Former President Jimmy Carter thinks Jesus would have given a thumbs-up to the recent 5-4 Supreme Court ruling redefining the definition of marriage.
Appearing on Huff Post Live, Carter was asked whether Christ would have supported the gay marriage decision.
“I believe he would. I believe Jesus would. I don’t have any verse in scripture…” Carter said. “I believe that Jesus would approve of gay marriage, but I’m not – that’s just my own personal belief.”
He added that he thinks Jesus “would encourage … any love affair that was honest and sincere.”
He also said gay marriage doesn’t “damage anyone else.”
Carter believes Jesus, on the other hand, wouldn’t support abortion, accept in the cases of rape or incest.
The 90-year-old former president appeared on the Internet show to tout his new book, “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety.”
