> Do tell, and how about Einstein's theory of relativity? You'd have as good a chance of refuting him as you would Scalia. :please:

> Seriously? You're bringing up 'The' Paul who wrote the book of Romans, you do realize that right? I mean, I just cited Romans 1:27 (KJV)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Paul also wrote Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

There are no saved practicing homosexuals, much less any gay priests or pastors. They must repent of their sin, completely turning their backs on it forever, and at that point they are sealed by God's Holy Spirit and transformed to become new creatures in Christ, or they cannot be saved at all. This is what is meant in verse 28 when PAUL said God turns the homosexual over to a reprobate mind, and why that particular sin is so terrifying. Romans 1:28 (KJV)

There are no ambiguities or areas of great debate in the Bible, and that's one reason I love God's Word so much. Harrys S Truman had a sign on his desk which said "The Buck Stops Here" Well, the lies and distortions and guileful machinations of the those who compromise truth stops with The Almighty. Though we live in the day of lies, they will all come to a thankful end soon enough. Until then we come to Him on His terms only, no negotiating or hint of reservation on our part.

Hold on there, sir. You referenced my using the pronoun "us" and tied it to an insult. Many times, the Apostle Paul started sentences with "Let us...." Would you suggest Paul suffered from "more than one in there" or whatever crap you were flinging? That was the "let us" line.

You, nor I, believe in human inerrancy. Stop acting like simply because Scalia believed it that it's gospel. Brilliance, genius, superior intellect, none of these fortress the individual from error. In fact, history proves the opposite: great error can spring from great intellect. You may worship Scalia. I do not.
