"Fellowship" is an altogether different concept than preaching and warning. Noah preached and warned of the flood for 120 years. So, I guess we can expect you to be "backing away, letting the dreaded 'OSAS peoples' do their own thing, and praying for them?" .

The pleasure is all mine, Matthew. Romans 14:22 is not a universal principle unto itself. The Bible is full of testimony that we are, to some degree, our brother's keeper. .

Anything done, especially willfully, by a human being (without clear permission from God) that imposes the degradation of health on any human being (even one's own self) is to some extent a violation of the sixth commandment. And sin is the transgression of the law. Coitus Interruptus wouldn't...

If it weren't for this whiny, pre-emptive posturing, I would have been happy to commend you for posting these studies. Alas, you did so kicking and screaming. The more adults act like children and project it onto others, the more I feel compelled to point out such behavior. It's the way I was...

You can see her when you click on the image. And I can see where you got your looks from. My mom was a heartbreaker. I don't know what happened to me. :p .

Get outta town!! You're a doll, Sis! (Almost as handsome as my wife! :p ) .

Thanks! Yours is certainly no slouch either, Sis. I'll bet I could pick out an even nicer one for you, though. You have a slightly vexed look about you - lol. There are tons of shots to choose from, way more nice ones than for Don Knotts. :) .

I don't blame you or anyone for my choices. I wouldn't change my choice of words if I had it to do over again. I don't indulge in A-to-C thinking. I don't believe that activating events lead directly to emotional consequences. You asked me what kind of evidence would meet with better than...

No. .

Your typical incredulous questioning prompted my use of the word "suspect." I'm sure you'd like nothing better than to portray that I don't know the difference between the words "suspect" and "invalid." It looks like you've already succeeded to some degree. But you're not fooling me. I know by...

You have got to be kidding me. I watched over 2 hours of Colby Martin's Thinking-Out-Loud Theology 101. It was painful. And I still like the guy. It's not like I'm asking you for copy of post-election analysis from Faux News. How about something from a respected liberal school of research? Or...

Well, a source with a name like "Journal Of GLBT Family Studies" would probably seem suspect if being suggested as mainstream. If you don't have anything, that's fine, but quit stalling. .

Yeah, I can tell by your that you're just devastated. .

I believe this is cause for what you would call an "irony alert." You are the undisputed champion of incredulity. Take it in a non-technical, non-conclusive way, if you like. You can't produce anything from a mainstream scientific source that supports the idea that "sexual orientation" is...

It's only obvious and funny to you, big boy. .

"Us and them"—I rest my case. .

This idea gets an awful lot of lip service. I hope you'll pardon me if, after seeing so many of your posts, I strongly suspect that there are more than a few paradoxes in the Bible that you're not willing to reconcile. .

Being, as I am, a character-building work-in-progress, I wouldn't deny that an idea like neuroplasticity sounds like very good news to me, since it would only serve to further ensure me that my flaws (as well as those of others) needn't go unimproved or even be considered irreversible...

:no reply: .

Matthew, I don't know if you have considered this, but comments like this are likely to attract very unkind replies, and not much else. None from me, I assure you but, nevertheless... .
