It seems a good bit of sin is associated with acts that "offend" others rather than causing actual damage or pain.malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182913972445521943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1153169978778942872006-07-17T15:59:00.000-05:002006-07-17T15:59:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182913972445521943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1152700192411877752006-07-12T05:29:00.000-05:002006-07-12T05:29:00.000-05:00The point in word homosexual might be the same as ...The point in word homosexual might be the same as if example a group of people in market research is homogenic/heterogenic? :o<BR/><BR/>Homo-same hetero-different.

Dietary laws are among them. But somehow Homosexuality has stuck as something important to Christians.<BR/><BR/>Your Jesus quotes were similar to one of his contemoraries, a great Rabbi named Hillel who said all of the law was "that which you find hateful do not do to your neighbor, all the rest is commentary, go and study". The love your God with all your heart is directly from the Hebrew Bible and is the central affirmation of faith of the Jewish people. <BR/><BR/>Remember the Hebrew Bible was a document of cutural historical myths and a blueprint for building a society. It was always meant to be interpreted for the age it was read in.Edtime Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902461803848902688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1152292293166722262006-07-07T12:11:00.000-05:002006-07-07T12:11:00.000-05:00grant: actually, when I read the scriptures, I loo...grant: actually, when I read the scriptures, I look for the big picture, not focusing on every little passage.<BR/><BR/>heather: the ATV thing was my favorite line, too.<BR/><BR/>tony: I learned reverse cowgirl from Heather (really).

This would leave me to think that 1.) since he doesn't have a problem with homosexuals and I'm not gay and 2.) I don't find him attractive, I may be putting myself in harms way.<BR/><BR/>Nice post Leesa. I agree with you that Jesus knew we'd be bickering over semantics for years to come. There are too many different ways to word the Bible to make it fit any one individuals particular needs. I hate it when people take a particular verse and use it as a base for an argument without doing the research to note what time frame and the verse pertains to. That is to say, what public laws, customs and cultural activities played a part in creating the writing. I also hate it when individuals continue to press on in an argument. My wife can beat a dead horse back to life, I've seen it. At some point an individual needs to say, "Look, this is my belief in the matter, based on what I've derived from the scriptures and you're desire to view the scriptures incorrectly is your business. I've pointed out the facts, the decision is now yours." and end the argument. To go on and on only increases the divide thus lessening the chance of a reconciliation and further growth.<BR/><BR/>Reverse cowgirl. This was a new one for me. I had to look it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_cowgirl. "All I can say is that I have enough reverse cowgirl pics to fill a hard drive!" So, Leesa in a reverse cowgirl pic. Now THAT fires the imagination. On that happy thought I think I'll go meditate.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688380296273635896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1152281967349098392006-07-07T09:19:00.000-05:002006-07-07T09:19:00.000-05:00I think one of the worst things xtians do is hide ...I think one of the worst things xtians do is hide behind technicalities. Technically, the bible only says men and not women. Technically, the ten commandments only say "Don't lie to your neighbor" - they don't mention people two doors down. Technically, the bible doesn't specifically say I can't use a chainsaw to cut off people's arms, as long as I leave them alive.<BR/><BR/>But I agree with the xtian assertion that there should be no lesbians, especially not Asian hotties. Gay males, on the other hand, are fine with me. Anything that frees more women for my use is a good thing. Lesbian = bad. Marriage = bad. Not finding me attractive = bad and possibly fatal.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.com
