1 | Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood | Jude 1:4 | Brian.g | 52618 | ||
Joe I think shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, the world sees homosexuality for what it really is. I realize that there are plenty of Protestant denominations which are pro-gay, but now you know how the world really feels about it. All I'm saying is that we (all people) should learn from this. Why does everything have to be an argument with you, Joe. Brian |

You wrote: "I think shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, the world sees homosexuality for what it really is." Actually, I don't think it is homosexuality that is being condemned here by the world, but the molesting of children. What we learn from this, as we have learned from the public exposure of the sins of leaders from across the Christian spectrum, is that the world hates Jesus Christ, and they are all-too-quick to rejoice in saying, "See, they are just like us." The world is always looking for ways, legitimate or otherwise, to tarnish the good and strong name of Jesus Christ. When anyone claiming to represent Him, whether Catholic or Protestant or Coptic or Orthodox, aids and abets the tarnishing of that name, repentance is called for. You do agree with that, don't you? You wrote: "I realize that there are plenty of Protestant denominations which are pro-gay, but now you know how the world really feels about it. " Actually, the world loves it. Such "enlightenment" is "celebrated and affirmed" all over. It is Protestants who hold fast to the Scriptures who are so dismayed by it. You wrote: "Why does everything have to be an argument with you, Joe. " Here's a hanky, Brian. You stop blaming society and the state for sin in the church, and I will stop arguing. --Joe! |
