I was just referring to Parker's statement below, I probably should have quoted it. And it deserves comment every time something like this comes up!

It's wrong, a shame, sinful, but must we focus on it? Are you sure we aren't flogging a dead horse.... Phil 4:8 (NASB) Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. I'm not "dwelling" on anything. But the reason that crap like this is occurring is because Christians like you and I kept silent and did nothing to slow down this runaway train. Silence may be golden, but gold is of no use to the Kingdom of Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Pretty clear to me that this IS WRONG. What is the world coming to??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silence may be golden, but gold is of no use to the Kingdom of Heaven. That's not quite what I meant. Out there, we MUST fight against it. In here, we are preaching to the chior. And, we preached to the chior for 33 pages on the other thread. I am exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must never be quite, no matter whether we are in the choir or in the street. No offense, but if you are exhausted with it all, than rest and don't read the thread.
