I provided you with the Scripture.... sm
like you asked. Do you not believe, now, based on what the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin?
Can you not believe now that homosexuality is not right or is wrong?
If you can't grasp it based on a direct quote from the Bible, I guess there is no convincing you.
This is true scripture. However, I made a point
when the parishioners in Sunday School elevated themselves as "better" than the people who were not at church that day. I pointed out there are many reasons, such as having to work, or having to tend to a sick person, or being ill, including emotionally challenged. THey had no clue what I, as the Pastor's wife was talking about. Sounded a lot to me like the Pharisees thought they were better than the blind and lame who they stepped over on the way to Temple. The misuse of this scripture taken out of context, not necessarily here, but for use of "us" versus "them" disgusts me. Truly it does. BTW: I have to transcribe on Sundays, because my husband's Pastor job does not pay enough for me to quit and guess what, as MTs we have to work weekends. I work because I have to. And not because I am avoiding regular church, which BTW our denomination does not offer services other than Sunday morning.
