1 Corinthians 6:10

‘malakoi’ -> Catamites
‘arsenkotai’ -> Sodomites

“stand by the opinion that it is totally ineffective”

It’s like Chesterton - it has not been tried and found ineffective, it’s simply not been tried.

Be honest - when’s the last time you heard the word ‘catamite’?

If you think soundling like John Hagee is going to help our cause, knock yourself out. (I like Hagee sometimes, but then again, I’m not target audience here)
And yes, sodomite has been tried, and it’s now a word that immediately characterizes the user, the way the word fornicate does. Like it or not, it’s a word largely used by angry faux preachers according to the culture. There are other words just as accurate and just as direct.

Be wise as serpents....gentle as doves. Using the word sodomite is neither.
