I think it doesn't matter what I think about "Christian homosexuals." Welcome to the forum (I think). Why are you anxious for people to know you are a racist? .

It's not the responsibility of the church to negotiate the intricacies and sophistication of sin that people choose to involve themselves in. What's up is that parents are humoring the sexualization of children that aren't even old enough to decide whether they want to be a doctor or a fireman...

As with the Holy Father’s above-mentioned response to the Dubia of two Cardinals, this Declaration remains firm on the traditional doctrine of the Church about marriage, not allowing any type of liturgical rite or blessing similar to a liturgical rite that can create confusion. The value of this...

The document does more to obscure the church's stand on homosexual relationships than it does to clarify. Not all of us have time to go to law school to enable us to figure out what the Vatican is up to. As critical and harsh as this surely sounds it is nevertheless true. Ambiguity is bound to...

Forgive me, BOL (Nice to see you, btw), but a man as educated and traveled as Pope Francis being a bad communicator is kind of hard for me to wrap my head around. Is he reputed as such? Hasn't it been shown that he hasn't (technically, at least) "signed off" on the concept of same-sex union? I...

Anywhere from you - lol. :Broadly: .

Your Tijuana proximity is showing - lol. .

Virtually 99 to 100% of the arguments objecting to the literal keeping of all ten of the commandments simply didn't exist 50 years ago. I've asked many times for a reference to something published or preached pre-1980 and I've gotten no response at all. No one ever worried about being judged...

Christ was a Nazarene—not a Nazarite. He partook of fresh grape juice at the Last Supper, which would have been vow-breaking to a Nazarite. .

Unless it's the special kind that's only sin if we think it to be sin? You use the word "friend" a lot. You know, that's not really necessary when you're actually being friendly. Merry Christmas, Amigo. :) .

Aren't you glad that "all-inclusive love" is sin to everyone, and not only to those who think it to be sin? You kill me, Amigo. :jest: .

Oops, I forgot some folks believe we can refuse God's commands and yet presume to be saved. .

Methinks you "find" too much to deny feeling - lol. .

Have some wine...

Are we to worry that we might not gain heaven because we've consumed insufficient amounts of alcohol? I hope the ancient Levites will be there. .

Yes, let's do remember that. .
