Do what you have said and you shall live in eternity, because if you give your agape love to everybody, you are in fact loving God.
How Universalist of you.

Jesus was a Jew, but he came to save the world. :angel2:How Universalist of you.
You know what, I totally love this post, its from the same book as I found the other passage if only I'd have read on..... I bet you can already imagine how Sunday is going to go if I receive another talking to! Lets just say there is a lot more reading to be done before I return on Sunday.
One would go to such a place because they have faith in god and the miracles he's done. These "talkings to" are not so much talking to but rather a view on the days scripture so its not so much a talking to as an opinion which you an I have given on this topic as it would seem. An it takes but an hour so he could go talk to is gay cousin an still make time for church and yes he should ask questions to his cousin so as to better grasp the situation from anothers point of view. It is vital to see both sides of the situaton in order to fully understand it.Why would you even want to go to a place where people give you "talkings to" like this?
I would tell these people to get a life... and then go and get on with my own.
Go and hang out with your gay cousins instead.
Get to know them.
Ask them questions.
I'm sure they'll appreciate the open conversation.
And you will as well.

You read too much into I think or I didn't make it clear enough so either way there was a miscommmunication. These "talkings to" are the mere opinion or translation of scripture. Now by dislike the talkings to you disagreeing with the opinion by by dislikeing what the opinions are translated from is differnt cause your dislikeing written word vs. the opinion of another person which a person is fully entitled to.Enlighten is clearly not happy with these "talkings to".
That was largely the point of the thread.
I get this an being a catholic I too am supposed to believe such behavior is wrong but with my mother being a lesbian I have grown to see that there isn't anything morally wrong with being so. I believe that god being an all loving being would never allow such a group of people to be treated as they which then inturn leads me to believe that it was the opinions of those at the time of the bibles inception that created these scriptures because you can't be all loving and allow the segragation of a whole group of people. But hey that's my opinion I'v never seen anything morally wrong such as scripture states. But thats a personal decision for her to make not to be based on the opinions of others.I dunno. Go and read the whole second page of this thread.
She obviously wants to DISCUSS the matter,
or she would not have created this thread.
But she does not like others "chiding" her for not correcting the behavior of others.
Especially when she herself is not even sure she herself feels the behavior is wrong.
It's OBNOXIOUS.

I know it's a long thread to read through so I will spare you I actually gave them a "talking to" in return after the good people in this forum helped me.
I speak to my cousins regular (they live quite far from me) and I love them for who they are and wouldn't change them (or want them to change) for anything in the world.
i must apologize to you if i give you that impression, for the message is one of correction, no of hate, for god is father and the father correct the children in love, for their own good.
I think they appeared as males in the story.

Not to mention ignorant.There were many types of Jews back then, unlike now.
To say Jesus was a Jew is actually grossly innacurate, as he wasnt what is called a Jew by modern standards....
but thats being persnickety
Jesus was a Jew, but he came to save the world. :angel2:
by your own words you are setting yourself up as god....
That, is a supreme sin....
