Fwdude: "I'm going to make an assertion about these outspoken "celebate gehs" and call them out as activist infiltrators."

Please bear in mind that rash judgment, defamation, and bearing false witness against one's neighbor are still against the commandments.

"Notice that they don't condemn homosexual conduct in others, celibacy is just the right thing "for themselves."

False. The reason they are writing and speaking out is because they hope to be living examples of how people with same-sex attraction can live chastely and be disciples of Our Lord. They are trying to promote thinking, talking, and walking in purity of heart.

You find me one place where the celibacy-advocates cited in this article (Julie Rodgers, Vanessa Urquhart, Eve Tushnet, Gary Belgau or Rosaria Butterfield) has said what you allege -- that gay sex is OK but celibacy is just their own personal choice--- and then we'll have something factual to talk about.

We've talked a lot about "abstinence" on this thread. Please abstain from defamation.

We also have to use God-given discernment in our dealing with others, particularly as it affects the Body of Believers from within, and this necessarily involves judgement. Judgement is NOT a bad word, and we are dead, or apostate, if we don't exercise it appropriately.

I happen to think that discernment is one of my spiritual gifts, but even absent this gift, no one who is paying attention can fail to notice that the homosexual juggernaut, having almost completely overcome the state and societal notions of morality, has now focused its intent on the Church, the last bastion of resistance to this evil. It will "appear as and angel of light" even as it is plotting its evil plan to destroy.

Again, I'll implicate this woman in this disguised plot to infiltrate and cause division in the Body.
