Struck me as funny this morning:

Following up on last week’s posting of Peter Moore’s letter to the editor on the same subject, today I give you +Fitz’s letter.   +Fitz writes:

“Calling gays sinners is intolerant,” a letter in the Aug. 24 Post and Courier, is itself intolerant of all who hold to 4,000 years of Judeo-Christian teaching about sexual behavior.

Prof. Nunan demonstrates some knowledge of certain biblical texts, which are the usual ones taken out of context by Christianity’s critics, but he seems to be unaware that Scripture teaches that all of us are sinners: “There is none that is righteous, no not one.” (Rom. 3:10) “For God has consigned all persons to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.” (Rom. 11: 32)

The Sermon on the Mount leaves no wiggle room for the self-righteous to deny their sin. To deprive gays of Scripture’s diagnosis of our human nature is to deprive them of Scripture’s promise of mercy and redemption.

I would recommend Robert Gagnon’s “The Bible and Homosexual Practice” as a thorough and helpful understanding of this issue.

Struck me as funny this morning:

Almost as amusing as Thomas Ravenel’s thoughts on legalized drug usage.
