well ian-you certainly dont like me having fundamental christian convictions and it seems that is enough to infer that i hate homosexuals .it is not my hobby horse and i did not raise the subject but neither am i intimidated by unsubstantial tirades-but bless you,i wish you well whatever your sexuality is.
you know what my "moral compass "is,-what is yours?

jack-i note that frogprince has answered your challenge to me,albeit rejecting the theology involved ,and theres no point in me outlining it to current posters.
i do think that the open letter is very clever though and i,ve seen it on another thread.it is probably convincing to the biblically ignorant and affirming to the biblically liberal.

back to original issue-glad to see it resolved though i would have been more heartened if it had come from bible obedience rather than current law-after all,correct me if mistaken, if i say that at one time not so long ago, it would have been different.
