He isn’t embracing anybody. He is stating a fact. now probably is the best time for s pro football player to come out. RGIII didn’t say that homosexuality was acceptable. He did point out that some folks like to look at the mote in another’s eye while ignoring the stick in their own.

He plays a game. He does not make policy. He is not on the supreme court or the president. He plays a GAME.

Get over yourself

You can bet if a player did come out, the NFL would issue a directive to the Referees that if they so much are hit, the opposing team should be penalized 15 yards for “Unsportsmanlike Conduct.”

Agree. I would only respond to questions that are football related. Reporters are always digging for controversy and ways to kill careers. One politically incorrect response will get you run out of the league.

That's what I read also. Did anybody here actually hear RG3 claim that homosexuality is acceptable? An acceptable sin? Not a sin? That RG3 is pro-sodomite? An advocate of homosexuality? Finds it something to be celebrated?

He actually makes a statement bordering on apostasy when he says: “You do what you want to do. If some Christians want to look at being gay as a sin...”

It is not a matter of Christians WANTING to view something as a sin, it is a matter of what God has said is sin - regardless of how we want to view it.

He is right, however, in pointing out some common, overlooked sins in the Christian community - but my sin does not make your sin acceptable, which is the argument he is using.

It is one thing to encourage acceptance of the sinner, a completely different thing to advocate accepting the sin.

Thank you. I am a Christian libertarian. Some have problems with that combination but I oppose tyranny in all its forms including gay fascism.

I read his comments quite differently. Who else ought to come out? Why stop at sodomites?

Seeing that more young people will hang on his every word then that of the President or any Supreme Court ruling, maybe people should be concerned.......

He isn’t embracing anybody.

He's "embracing" sin and advocating no apologies or remorse for it. That is fundamentally un-"Christian."

RG-666: "My view on it is, yes, I am a Christian, but to each his own. You do what you want to do."

"Do What Thou Wilt" was also Aleister Crowley’s philosophy as well as part of Anton LeVey's "Satanic Bible."

Agree...and I don't think he is "encouraging homosexuality." He answered a question!

Isn't it nice to be in a chat room with so many sinless saints?
