"...nobody bothers to mention that the Greek word used to describe the sick man is the word used in the ancient world to describe your same-sex partner." And Mr. Miner doesn't seem to see the irony in his statement.
To: Coleus
so now we know the democrat plan for the next two years.
Demonize religion as being anti-elightened. The left is going to push acceptance of homosexual behavior as "enlightened".
Paving the way for Hitlary?

Wow, how interesting....the pastor is gay....and he believes the Bible endorses being gay. Isn't that a neat coincidence?

Facts are only objects when you have a political revolutionary agenda to accomplish. This stuff is called conditioning.

Why don't they try "Reading the Bible the Christ-Centered Way" for a change. Otherwise they are just setting up their sin as an idol to be worshipped.

If we REALLY want to be more precise, we could talk about the fact homoadvocates often intentionally confuse the ancient greek word for "mentor" with "sex partner".
This is just lunatic fringe wishful thinking on the part of homosexuals who are in denial about the fact that no matter how hard they spin it, it is NEVER normal for sex between members of the same sex.

A bunch of gays reading what they want to read in the texts or a medevil papl council cramming their own political agendas/doctrines down everyone's throats....what's the difference.
Read the Tao and get the same message without the collection plate and agendas.

In the Old Testament, claim the authors, Ruth's covenant with Naomi, which includes the memorable phrase, "Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live," actually refers to a committed same-sex relationship. Please. This is what happens when the bible is taught without actually being read. If they actually read the story, they would see that Naomi counseled Ruth on how to snag a husband, Boaz. Boaz married Ruth, and they a child:
Rth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
There's no way you can read a lesbian relationship into this. It's sick to even attempt it. It's a beautiful story about the love of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...really more of a mother daughter relationship.
To: Coleus
Pendleton was careful to make a distinction between homosexual orientation and the practice itself. "When you look at what the Bible teaches, the Bible doesn't talk about orientation; the Bible talks about behavior."

I'm surprised they didn't call Boaz a "sex toy" to father a child on Ruth so that her barren "lover" Naomi could have a child. (/sarcasm off)

"In the Old Testament, claim the authors, Ruth's covenant with Naomi, which includes the memorable phrase, 'Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live,' actually refers to a committed same-sex relationship."HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
I've heard of bending the truth a little, but they completely fabricated this one out of fairy dust [pun intended]. After all, why should they let a little thing like what the Bible actually says get in the way of what they want to believe.
