<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize that among you and your friends that
mindless repitition is a prefectly acceptable substitute for reason. With that
in mind why don't we dive into exactly what is being said in the arcicle by Mr
Dickison that you feel compelled to trot out every time it becomes nessacary to
bash CC.<BR><BR>Paragraph 1: The set. Misc. quotes from The Bible. Specificly
Romans, Exodus, and Leviticus. A quick peek at The Book tells me you got
no argument here cuz low and behold there they are!<BR><BR>Paragraph 2: The
turn. Let's go slow so I don't lose you on any of the
corners.<BR><BR><EM>"In contemporary American jurisprudence, none of these
offenses is punishable by death, with the occasional exception of
murder."<BR></EM><BR>By golly, he's got that one right.<BR><BR><EM>"The
magistrates have dispensed with God's standards of justice."<BR></EM><BR>For the
most part absolutely true.<BR><BR><EM>"Some Christians believe this is an
improvement. They would be horrified to think that the "harsh" penalties of the
law should still be applied."<BR></EM><BR>Hard to argue that one with Ms. Mix
looking over our shoulder.<BR><BR><EM>"Sometimes this is the result of the
mistaken belief that the Old Testament has no further application after the
advent of Christ. This is an exegetical problem."</EM> (Exegesis (from the Greek
ἐξηγεῖσθαι 'to lead out') involves an extensive and critical interpretation of
an authoritative text, especially of a holy scripture, such as of the Old and
New Testaments of the Bible.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once again, right on target. Denominations, Church
leaders, & scholars to this day do not agree to what level New
Testament revelation and salvation supercedes Old Testament law.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>"Too often, it is the result of a sinful view
of the criminal. This sin is called pity."</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM></EM></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hold on tight here, chum. This is the reveal, the
turning point, the crux of the bisciut, as it were. From this point forward in
this article we are examining the charicteristics of misplaced
pity and NOT the desired outcomes for the sin
of homosexuality. Suprised? I knew you would be!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I have a question for you. Did you or any of
your fellow travelers on this little witch hunt actually take the time to ask
Mr. Dickison what he had in mind when he wrote this piece of did you all
simply assign it what ever meaning you thought would be most damning and run
with it? Never mind, the answer is obvious. (and a little
sad) </FONT></DIV>

Festival protest<BR> <BR>Ms. Mix claims the issue of the death penalty and
homosexuality have not been addressed together. From the references I
cited:<BR> <BR>"On the one hand, we are being attacked for wanting to
execute homosexuals, WHICH WE DO NOT, (my emphasis added) and on the other hand,
we are attacked for favoring homosexual marriages, which we do not
favor."<BR> <BR>"Homosexuals commit sodomy, heterosexuals commit adultery,
and thieves steal. Welcome to planet earth. But Jesus came to forgive sins.
Christ saves sinners, all kinds. Not only that, but He welcomes them into His
church."<BR> <BR>It would seem that the issue has been clearly addressed. I
have to guess that what Ms. Mix means is that it has not been addressed in a
manner that she finds personally palatable. Something involving abject apology
for a position not held and seppuku perhaps?<BR> <BR>g
