"Chan...I'm sorry, but I have address this. "Changed his mind"??? Please!! There were a lot of laws laid down for the Israelites, like the one about eating shellfish, that BOUND them to that law. There were reasons for those laws, and sometimes they had to do with keeping them "clean". Sometimes they had to do with keeping them "safe" from disease or other illness that might have been associated with what they were eating or doing AT THAT TIME. We are no longer under the Mosaic Law Code. Those of us who do believe the Bible is the Word of God, and that Christ is God's Son, (and who aren't idiots like the guy in the King interview) believe that Jesus fulfilled that law covenant when he gave his life in exchange for ours. The Mosaic Law Covenant up until that time was there for a reason, and it pointed forward to Christ as the Perfect Law. It also served as a reminder to the Israelites that they could never follow the Law Code perfectly, therefore pointing forward to the NEED for a perfect ransom, aka Christ. Again, we are no longer under that Law Covenant. God never intended for the "shellfish" law to extent into Christianity. It was there for a purpose, and when that purpose was fulfilled, it was done away with. There was no changing of minds. Beth, I dearly love you, and I so respect your ability to stay on target with your beliefs, to speak your mind without belittling someone else's opinions or beliefs, and to speak and write intelligently. You know I'm not trying to convert you, because I truly do respect your free will to believe what is right for you. And I know you will understand why I sometimes have to state my own opinion here in a comment to something that you report about that someone who calls himself a "Christian" has said. You know I'll always tell you what I believe and why, just as you'll tell me, and I hate it when fools like this guy mislead people and make the rest of us look totally stupid. Please don't lump him in with honest-hearted Christians who have the ability to reason on the scriptures and explain their beliefs intelligently. I know this will sound silly, but I am crying right now. I don't want to be associated with this idiot in your mind in any way whatsoever!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506026496063245730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-24275605314855997172010-04-28T15:51:53.599-04:002010-04-28T15:51:53.599-04:00Great retort Beth!

These holier than thou "Christians" got more weirdo sex going on than you, me, and most of the world put together. Most of the Bible can be made into whatever someone wants it to be....what one reads into the words are the opposite of what others see or believe. <br />I think all people that are gay are born that way and they deserve every thing a non gay person deserves.lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/07625835751678075313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-48059051028836786822010-04-26T02:14:13.616-04:002010-04-26T02:14:13.616-04:00A comment from DB:

What baffles me is how in 2010 we have people out in public who still claim to be able to know and tell what something called God, which changes it's mind, said, did, wants and doesn't want, based on an accumulation of books written by humans, at different times, for various reasons. <br />For my part I am bored and tired of listening to this silly rubbish and I hope I am prophetic. Let her sing her heart out if that's what she wants to do and let the Bob's stay out of her personal life.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-89871929175689009922010-04-26T00:08:55.234-04:002010-04-26T00:08:55.234-04:00Great stuff, beth.

Not without a struggle, admittedly. Look at what happened with civil rights.<br /><br />It will die. The way forward has always involved more acceptance, more enlightenment, not less. Everyone, straight and gay needs to keep uniting in this, and eventually, equal rights will prevail.NinjaKamuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601823681303149403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-27227948659055896902010-04-25T23:49:33.573-04:002010-04-25T23:49:33.573-04:00I watched that show too, Beth and as you might hav...I watched that show too, Beth and as you might have already guessed ;) I agree with you. As I've said before, I think there are going to be some very shocked self-rightous Christians when they get to heaven and see the people they're going to be sittin' beside.

The more often the American public is exposed to rational humans behaving reasonably about sexual and affectional differences, the sooner the average American makes the needed mental shift. And, yes, noisier activists have brought us this far. <br /><br />I'm thankful that scientists are finally able and willing to publish their research on homosexuality and all the iterations of gender that nature provides. For so long, research was not funded or was underfunded and, when it did take place, publication in any but the most esoteric journals was almost unheard of. All that is changing at last!

Never mind that the scholars who wrote the story were seperated from the event by hundreds of years.<br /><br />At any rate, I wished I had seen the interview myself. I can't say that I am surprised by Ted Haggard. After all, enough people allowed a pair of draft dodgers to lead us into war. Why shouldn't people believe that he made a mistake in becoming involved with some man and isn't at all gay and has been 'cured'.<br /><br />sheesh!!Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-22584005250260217792010-04-25T21:35:52.142-04:002010-04-25T21:35:52.142-04:00The ultimate hypocrisy.
