Walkingfeather Libertarian: If Jesus were here today, he'd walk into a den of moral degenerates and tell them to quit sodomizing each other and repent their sins.
As the ever so brilliant Selwyn Duke wrote in his column entitled: "WHY MANY AMERICAN CHRISTIANS ARE REALLY UN-CHRISTIAN":
"Let us be blunt: It is simply not possible to espouse relativism which holds that right and wrong are opinion and be a true Christian.
Why? Its simple: Jesus did not die for our opinions. Jesus did not say that His blood was the blood of the new and everlasting covenant and that it would be shed for you and for all so that opinions may be forgiven; He did not say, I am a way, a truth, and a life; He did not say, let he who is without opinion cast the first stone; He did not say to that dark tempter, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, but, hey, Satan, whatever works for you.
There are many doctrinal differences among the denominations, and good people could debate them ad nauseam and still not settle every one. Yet, if anything is central to Christianity, its the belief that Truth is spelled with a capital T, that it is absolute, universal and eternal."

If Palin wants to meet with a group of "proud" sodomites and tell them that "Jesus is the way", then a private meeting, NOT a CPAC convention, would be the proper avenue to take.
Last I looked Palin isn’t going to CPAC.
So why didnt Jesus look up into the tree at Zaccheus and tell him to go and sin no more? Why did he take the guy,considered to be worst than the worst sinner in town, and go and eat at his house? Eating at someones home,was a community validation and honor to the person of that home. That is why the Pharisees freaked! But look at the effect of Jesus being in a friendship relationship with zaccheus, he said.... If I have cheated anyone (in the original language it means, “if I have, and I have” ) I will return 2 and 1/2 times. Do you understand what that means? The entire town just hit the lottery, everyone was blessed by action of Jesus. Do you see the difference? God Loves you so much He is willing to trade His perfect sons life for yours or a log cabin republicans EVEN while they are still in sin. THAT is the good news.
May God not use the same size measuring cup of His mercy on you that you use on others.
