“Life Void of Sex, Romance?”

Tell them to get married? :)

In Russia when Communism was being developed they had the “glass of water” agenda. They wanted the exchange of sex to be as casual as giving someone a glass of water. I saw it on a youtube communism documentary. It reminds me of the Muslims promise of sex with really young virgins. It’s easy to recruit a young male mob with sex.

“Can a homosexual be saved?
In the conventional sense? No.”

God can create the heavens and the earth but Saving a homosexual is even beyond His abilities?

To quote The Hulk “Puny god”.

[AppyPappy]

When Communism became the “law” in Russia, they all but banned sex. They were very puritanical.

I suggest you look to other sources than comic books for your theological insights.....

[AppyPappy]

It’s a movie.

[papertyger]

OH!

That’s much more sensible, then....

Questions are being asked about estrogen-contaminated water, which affects every major watershed in North America, due to birth control pills. Male fish and amphibians are noted with extremely low sperm counts and/or high %age egg proteins in their testes.

Soy milk, which is high in phytoestrogens, has been linked to abnormal sexual development in male monkeys, and possibly in humans. Pregnant women should not eat soy. Mothers should not give their babies soy-based formula. Yet over 25% of baby formula in the USA is made from soy.

I understand your point.

The problem is that the sord "gender" has made a rapid change of meaning in the last few decades, through at least 3 stages.

1. Gender as a grammatical term, meaning that nouns, pronouns, adjectives and sometimes other words change spelling and/or pronunciation in ways that may or may not correlate with sex.

   For instance, German or Spanish. In Spanish, a girl is feminine gender, but so is a table (mesa), an apple (manzana), silver (plata), a guitar (guitarra), the pool (piscina). A boy is masculine, but so is the theater (teatro), the bedroom (dormitorio), fingers and toes (dedos). And no neuters.

2. Then came the idea (only usable in non-gendered languages like English) that there are two genders, masculine and feminine, corresponding exactly to the two sexes, male and female. This was welcomed by people who didn't like to use the word "sex".

3. Finally came the idea (invented by sexologist John Money in 1955) that "sex" refers to genetic and anatomical reproductive differentiation, whereas "gender" refers to a huge range of sociological, affective, and interior "identity" feelings which fluctuate and scramble, wax and wane. (Prior to the 1970's, it was rare to encounter the word "gender" anywhere except in grammar.) Hence Facebooks 50 gender choices

That's why I stick with "sex" to mean male or female, and "gender" to mean something to do with spelling in most languages other than English.

On adopting sin as part of your identity---Maybe this is simplistic, or maybe it's just the simple truth:

The demons erase your name and call you by your sin.

The Lord erases your sin and calls you by your name.

"They say they like men and then gravitate to those who dress up in the gay version of blackface, a burlesque parody of what a woman is."

Hey fool in paradise: that's a very good description.

[papertyger]

Be that as it may, I’m getting mighty tired of these intellectually dishonest “priests” and “Levites” who think they have some claim on Samaritans to be benefitted like “him who fell among the thieves!”

[papertyger]

They say they like men and then gravitate to those who dress up in the gay version of blackface, a burlesque parody of what a woman is.

That is a remarkably keen observation!

Right, and the Bible used euphemisms, while "sex" itself has come to usually denote the act of having sex so much that it is overused to get page hits.

That's why I stick with "sex" to mean male or female, and "gender" to mean something to do with spelling in most languages other than English.

Which you hope engenders better grammar!

[Mrs. Don-o]

I know. It gets confusin', don't it??!

But don't let the genderbenders control the language.

I've got to the point where (when I think of it) I prefer not to use non-gendered words like "children," "siblings," "spouses." For me its gotta be "boys and girls, "daughters and sons," "husband and wife." Just for precision on an important point.

Sodomy isn’t love or sex. It is masturbation of a different kind. That’s all homosexuals can do to each other.

Then I assume you are in CA.

[Mrs. Don-o]

No, I am in TN —— but I know what those Californians are doing, dadgummit!
