Thanks Samson. I apologize. I ask everyone to please forgive my post in here. :)
The earlier letter to Ray from "Grace" was not mine....it was another Grace....that's weird.

Another Grace, hmmm. Perhaps one of us has a stalker albeit a very good hacker to masquerade. A stalker... :-\...oh, my, my! :D

I forgot all about that word. I'm not sure why. Totally slipped my mind. I suppose that's a better term since it's based off of Scripture. Same concept and that doesn't take away from the fact that it's God that wills in us.
:D

He made the following statement below:
Secondly the Leviticus Codes of Holiness no longer apply to NT Christians. Leviticus 20:9 orders death to children for cursing their parents? Do we abide by that today, NO! We are under a NEW LAW!
I think Ray answered this incorrectly. Ray went on to explain that cursing parents is still indeed a sin. Aaron (the gay man) was not contesting this notion. I think what Aaron was saying, is that we no longer order death to children today if we curse our parents - NOT the actual act of cursing our parents.
Yes, the bible is anti-homosexual. It's also plainly anti-sexual, anti-women, anti-shellfish, anti-polyester, and anti-beard trimming... Etc, depending on the book and era it was written.
Thank God for Grace then!
I prefer to ask what the bible is "pro" for.
The bible makes it clear that love, compassion, and forgiveness are the human traits I should be focusing on.
Just wanted to point it out.

Joel:
Paul was inspired to write this in his letter to the Romans, and I think it fits this thread as well.
Romans 12:1-2 I Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
4-5
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Joel

I guess so....I've never written Ray a letter about smoking.....emails are easy enough to trace....I wrote him only once and it had nothing to do with smoking.....I just found it interesting that email was from someone named "grace" also. ;D Perhaps, I should change my nic in here....lol.

Purely Coincidental on My part, but, as we are taught, not Coincidental from God's perspective, ;).
