As I said, believe what you might. But, taking chapters from the Bible because they don't "mesh with today's lifestyles" is wrong. Period. End of Statement. Here in Sodom on the Sound (Seattle) there are so called ministers / preachers who are homosexual. How do they preach against those sins if they practice them? Do they just ignore the chapters of the Bible that talk about these sins? That is the only way they can get around it. Like I said, either you believe in the Bible as a whole, as originally written, or you do not believe. If you choose to think that the Bible is like the liberals say about the Constitution, a so-called "living, breathing document" then that is also wrong. You do not change the Word of G-D to meet your individual worldly circumstances. I am not an expert on the Bible. My wonderful old Mother and her Mother are experts though. I have had this conversation with my Mother and she agrees with me. My Mom could probably get up and preach as well as anyone. She is that deeply into the Word of the Bible. I stand behind what I said, EITHER you BELIEVE in the Bible as WRITTEN in the beginning, or you do not. If you choose to play fancy with the Words in the Bible, then you do not believe. Every minister I ever listened too stated it this way. So, believe as you might. ONLY YOU and not ME will have to face the Lord on Judgment Day and answer the reasons you did what you did. But, from what I have learned in all my 52 years on this earth, making the Bible read the way YOU want it to read is wrong. You read it the way it was WRITTEN in the beginning. Your call, not mine. End of comments. I am not going to debate your soul with you. That is between you and the Lord.

I am not sure what we disagree about.

It is a sin! They are NOT Christian.

either you believe in the Bible as a whole, as originally written, or you do not believe...

I believe in the Bible, as a whole, as it was written. I abhor the Liberals and their "living, breathing" interpretation of the Bible and the Constitution.

I must keep pornography and all sin from my life (and my family.)

Where does the Bible say I have the right, duty or authority to use the legal system to keep others from sinning? I must convince them to accept Christ. I cannot force them to.
