Jorge;"Wrong. I posted his exact words. I didn't add or take anything away from his post."

BS. You ADDED to his exact words that "he'd rather a woman die from AIDS."

I never presented that statement as a "QUOTE"; from john, nor did I ever claim he used those "exact words".

That was MY STATEMENT. It was clearly presented as my interpretation of his post.

And I stand by it.
When asked if use of condoms would be permissible in the case of a married couple where one had AIDS, he responded NO..that it would be wrong to commit this evil EVEN "if some limited good may come from it."

The "limited good" being nothing but the protection of one spouse from contracting AIDS, a terminal disease.

He DID NOT dispute the effectiveness of condoms in preventing the transmission of AIDS as you have done.

He just said flat out that it was wrong to use them EVEN if it was to save the life of the wife.

So once again, there is nothing unreasonable in my interpreting that "he'd rather a woman die from AIDS." than to use condoms.

In fact I fail to see any other plausible interpretation.

If he didn't mean this he is always free to clarify his statement.

The author of the statement has already stated that your interpretation is not only unreasonable but also a lie, ruinous of his good name.

Spin your sin however you deem necessary. You ain't fooling us, and you sure as heck ain't fooling Him.
