Post by BurkladiesPost by s***@yahoo.comThe new Dear Abby (a direct descendant of Abigail Van Buren, I believe
the old woman's name is), I saw at Yahoo.com, is saying homosexuality
is ok! Despite what Romans 1:21-27 (the New Testament!) says on the
subject and despite the fact that homosexuality is not naturally
productive in creating offspring this young sinful sickie is advising
people not even to try to help homosexuals be cured of their
homosexuality and she's totally advocating gay marriage. She's 100%
ill!
Some words jumped out at me here;Abigail Van Buren . Romans
1:21-27... the NT. .. says on the subject... homosexuality
...naturally productive..... creating offspring .... sinful sicki
..cured.....their homosexuality...advocating gay marriage. ... 100%
ill.
Well, so they jumped out at you. Did you read the rest of the words?
Or did you retaliate against their jumping at you by jumping to
conclusions yourself?
Post by BurkladiesAbigail Van Buren is a pseudonym or pen name used by the writers of
the Dear Abby column, Pauline Phillips (born July 4, 1918) and her
successor, her daughter Jeanne Phillips.
Nice to know, but not very relevant, is it?
Post by BurkladiesWhen Pauline Esther Friedman Phillips founded the column during 1956,
she used the pseudonym of Abigail Van Buren; she and her daughter
Jeanne have used the name ever since. According to Pauline, she
combined the name of the biblical character Abigail, mentioned in the
Book of Samuel, with the last name of former U.S. President Martin
Van Buren.
Also not very relevant. Or are you trying to claim that they must be
good since they used biblical names?
Post by BurkladiesRomans 1:21-27 has nothing to do with your rabblings.
It wasn't 'rabblings', and it has a lot to do with it.
Post by BurkladiesAre you an adulterer?
Now _that_ is not only irrelevant, but a personal attack.
Post by BurkladiesThe NT, does not have the word 'homosexual' .
True, but so what? It has ARSENOKOITHS and MALAKOS, which words, when
used together, mean 'homosexuals', in the sense of people who
_perform_ the evil deed.
Post by BurkladiesNaturally productive, meaning infirtile folks, youth, pedophiles,
alcoholics, sperm banks, adoption and everyone in between, we all
have to reproduce.
No, that is not what it means. Have you _ever_ thought about this
before, 'Burkeladies'? Have you ever heard Aquinas's excellent
explanation of the issue? No, we do _not_ "all have to reproduce". As
Aquinas so brilliantly explained, the obligation is rather that we
ourselves take no action to interfere with our natural ability to
reproduce. So if someone is infertile, there is no sin in that, unless
that person _chose_ the infertility, by, for example vasectomy.
The only thing that is 'absurd' is your perversion of what the OP
really said.
Post by BurkladiesCreating offspring, so we need to replace the over grown population
of crazy people while war is killing our kids. According to you.
Ever hear of "be fruitful and multiply"? Ever hear of the principle
that the commands given to Adam are commands to all mankind, since the
very name 'Adam' means 'mankind'?
Post by Burkladiessinful sicki, cured ?
homosexuality is not in the bible
gay marriage is an Ad- hominum.
No, it is not. This is one of the more bizarre mis-statements I have
seen you make in all my years of reading in this NG!
Post by BurkladiesEverything you interpret here is a Slippery Slope.
Not at all.
Post by BurkladiesYou say she is 100% ill?
Did you graduate high school?
Another crude ad hominem.
Post by BurkladiesI think your brain washed here.
Well, who _cares_ what you think? You are clearly no expert in
"brain-washing". Indeed, to judge from your posts, you are only
'expert' in spewing a very strange sort of Gnostic nonsense. Should we
call it "Gnonsense"?
No, she is not 'correct'. Not even close.
Post by BurkladiesThere is nothing inherently wrong
except your interpretation.
So you say. But Scripture says otherwise. In addition to the Romans
verses already cited, there is also 1 Cor 6:9-10:
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.
(1Co 6:9-10 RSVA)
Now the words RSVA translates as "sexual perverts" is _really_
ARSENOKOITAI and MALAKOI. So it does not mean just _any_ 'perverts',
but _specifically_ those whose perversion is to engage in homosexual
activity.
Post by BurkladiesBut adultery is a sin you clearly have a problem
It is also a sin to say to someone you do not even know, "you clearly
have a problem with the sin of adultery".
Post by Burkladieswith based on the lesson you posted from Romans describes, but You
missed more of the lesson, it continues.. Romans 2:1-3 (NASB)...
As a teacher, I would send your essay back for revision before I
graded it.
Any school board that would allow you to teach should be
impeached. Simply voting them out isn't good enough.
