you, my friend, are wound much too tight. Read the book of Esther to see how a concubine (prostitute) saved the Jews.

The Arabs argue that Sarai was the concubine. Your interpretation that all sin is equally repugnant to God is unsupported by scripture. How would you know that "all sin is equally repugnant to Him"? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. The pharisees used Jesus's associations to condemn him to death. You share their sin (thou shalt not covet) when you condemn a whole people based on the your narrow interpretation. You need Jesus to learn to forgive, not to stand in judgment of people.

That's not true. You may want to read the entire Bible.

You share their sin (thou shalt not covet)

You are correct--I am a sinner. However, I fail to see that in this particular instance that I am coveting.

you condemn a whole people based on the your narrow interpretation. You need Jesus to learn to forgive, not to stand in judgment of people.

I do not condemn. These are words from Jesus: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
