Sorry, Michael -- you must have sent this yesterday?

Anyway . . . I don't know.  I believe that some people are born homosexual 
and that most are born heterosexual.  I believe that relationships,  
sexuality, attraction, gender and the like are quite complex.  I also 
believe that the simplest, most literal reading of Scripture may, in many 
cases, not bring about the correct understanding birthed by more intense 
study.  Some things are absolutes.  Love is one of them; a stance on 
homosexuality isn't.

Suspecting as I do that you want, then, a simple "yes" or "no," I'm sure 
you'll understand why that hill is not one I'm willing to die on without 
much more study, understanding, defining of terms, and prayer.   I will 
stand by my original answer and gladly die on the hill of honoring Christ 
Jesus in love, and loving others because of Him.

That's a simple answer I'm able to give any time.

Just in case this got lost in the last thread:



Keely,





Based on your comments, I take it that you don't believe that homosexuality

is part of our sin condition?
