MAT 11:19  The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. Sinners...homosexuals?

People don't care 'how right 'you are...until they know 'how right' you are.  Before you have the right to speak into some people you must invest in them.  Only a dumb farmer sows seed on hard ground.  The same goes for hard hearts.

Harryfeat,

Good thoughts and council.  Your username reminds me of a volleyball team my homegroup put together 20 years ago, to play in the city league.  We were trying to come up with a name and one of the guys said we're all just a bunch of heretics anyway so let's just call ourselves the 'Hairy ticks'.  We got lots of wierd looks but no questions.   :?   I'm not trying to put your name down at all but I'm smiling just remembering...thanks.

I don't know that this is a proper or correct translation.... they wanted them to come out so that they could 'know' (yâda‛) them:

Thanks for sharing that nugget.  I was one who was still influence by that old "inference" or mis"translation".  But I am familiar with that Heb. word of yada.  Stumbled on it one day and the lights went on from a Jerry Seinfield episode where they were talking and "yada yada yada".  Or in other words "you know, you know".

Thanks guys....good nite.

We all probably have a homosexual person in our families or circle of friends.  To keep the conversations civil, and yes there will be conversations, we need to remember plank n mote admonition . . . Is their sin any worse (or better) than the sins I commit daily - Jesus did say "If we so much as look . . . "
