[dyed] All the funnier because Paul was gay.

[AAM] No, the liberal theologians and the likes of Bishop Vicki just wish that he was . . . makes their behavior so much more justifiable in their own eyes.

Considering for a moment, just for the sake of debate, that Paul of Tarsus was gay himself.......the operative question becomes, then, did he live and die "in the life" -- or did he repudiate it, and conduct a powerful ministry that rebuked indiscriminate sexuality?

Quite true. To act nobly and in accordance with God's will, when tempted grievously in the opposite direction, is the mark of a saint.

And you know the scoffers and pagans of the day would have had a field day if Paul had stumbled -- just as they do with Christians today. Puts those who believe in nothing and have no morals at a distinct advantage, ne c'est pas?
