We Must Teach and Insist on the “Whole Counsel of God”

The "Gay Christians" say the O.T. and N.T. sodomy and homosexuality-related passages have a context and a meaning different from the historic teachings of Christianity, and different also from "today's reality." These Scriptures don't refer to gay marriage, for instance, and "You can’t make it into what it isn’t."

I don't agree with that, of course, but I bring it up by way of analogy.

I do think we're at an impasse. Your argument would more plausible if you didn't throw out everything --- Scripture AND Tradition, Natural Law AND Biblical example --- in favor of the New Sexual Paradigm which didn't even exist before the 20th century.

There's the "by their fruits" test, too, which contraception fails. Or would you want to assert that the contraceptive revolution raised respect for women, strengthened our appreciation for the sanctity of marriage, made spousal fidelity more attractive and more stable, and helps our young people find depth and purpose in God's design?

At this point, I’ve listened to your many arguments and evaluated them. They do not prove immorality.

Now you are recycling them again, like leftovers. 😊

[Mrs. Don-o]

Eat your spinach!!

If you serve spinach ravioli, count me in.

Brussels spouts, never.

Best thing that ever happened to me at the table was when I took a bite of brussels sprouts and got a migraine.

A lifetime get out of jail free card!

I like spinach lasaggna, also spanakopita.

I have a nice recipe, too, for an Indian dish called Palak Paneer. I use cottage cheese for the paneer.
