It's almost impossible not to except sinners in this world. I accept sinners, but will never condone sin, even when I do it.

I've actually had friendships, and relationships with homosexuals, burglers, drug addicts,(married one) alcoholics,(married one), fighters, (dad was)adulterers, etc..many who have had abortions, some have had several abortions each, etc..

Jesus never condoned the sin of those he loved and came to die for. He came to save them from sin that was destroying them, to make them free.

Freedom was God's idea.

It is by following the rules God gave us , that we optain real freedom.

Because our founders knew the Word well, they knew that.

John Adams:

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

"Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God…. What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this AS far as your freepmail goes, I'd be glad to post the entire thing.

Thomas Jefferson:

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever." (excerpts are inscribed on the walls of the Jefferson Memorial in the nation’s capital)

"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that their liberties are a gift from God?"

"The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty . . . students' perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens."

If you want me to copy all that we wrote in that freepmail I will. I wasn't quite sure why you wrote it to me privately? I didn't ping your friends, you can tell them I answered you.

Please show me anywhere I have condoned sin. You cannot.

As for any further conversation, post what you will. You are obviously either not understanding what I am saying or purposely trying to distort. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're just not understanding.

Trying to explain further appears to be futile.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.
