Ah, so we are doing this again. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 11/11/2009 03:45:45 AM
I do not condemn as sin things which may not be sinful. As all the explicit condemnations of homosexuality in the Bible involve making another man to be like a woman (which is a reference to Rape) I fail to condemn the "sin" which is so strangely important to you because it might not be sin at all, or at least no more sinful than any heterosexual relationship you might come across.

I do condemn rape of all kinds, of course. But you have heard all of this from me before.

It is strange that you have so abjectly failed to learn the lesson of the prodigal, despite having actually lived it, in condemning people whose hearts you do not know. Don't you get it that at no point does it fall to the older brother to judge the heart of the younger? That it is hard, from a literal standpoint, to see the point at which the younger son is judged by anyone other than himself?

The very fact that you would jump into this thread with thoughts of judgment and hellfire is damning of YOU, Jeo. Especially hin how your thoughts went immediately to making sure that the parameters of who is in and who is out are rigidly set. Which isn't love.

You throw the word love around but you have never shown that you know what it means. This may be just due to the limited nature of our interaction, but the concept itself always seems to escape you, especially in how it relates to grace.

To follow your return to an earlier point, I do always talk about the love and forgiveness of Christ at my funerals. He is the source of my good news, after all. The message tends towards the generic in cases like these, as I am not their confessor. But it is a message of love and the forgiveness of sin.
