Subject: how can we minister to homosexuals |
Bible Note: Doc- yes, I asked "do you think they were different?" Thanks for sharing the anecdote, but, would you answer the question please? So it's easier to follow here is what you asked.. "How do you think those folks who ONCE WERE practicing drunkenness, adultery, deception, thievery, sorcery, and idolatry differed in behavior from the lost guys that ARE NOW practicing drunkenness, adultery, deception, thievery, sorcery, and idolatry? :-)" My answer was of course no. When someone who ONCE practiced a particular sin practiced it, his behavior did not differ from the one who NOW practices it. They were both practicing the same sin. Had you asked if the behavior differs NOW, for the one who ONCE practiced it (referring to the saved) then the answer would be yes. Their behavior is different. The unsaved is continuing in sin while the saved is no longer continuing in the sin. If I sound thouroughly confused at this point perhapse I am. I'm not sure why you asked the question and not sure why you didn't answer my question in response. I appreciate the link and will follow up with it later... for now I have a long list of honey-doe's that starts with the garage and ends somewhere in the back yard. Jeff |
