Romans chapter 2, verse 1, says, "Therefore" ? now, "therefore," you know, in the English language means, "because of what I?ve just said, now I?m going to say something else on the basis of it," doesn?t it? That?s what it means. OK, so, "Therefore, who are you who judge, oh man," I?m quoting the King James [version], "because you who judge are guilty of the same." So what does Paul mean there? If really the entire Romans 1 is a condemnation of homosexuals, then Paul must be saying that anybody who judges homosexuals is homosexual. Well, nobody really wants to take that interpretation, do they? So then we all have to admit that Romans 1 is not about homosexuals, that Romans 1 is about people who put themselves into the place of God, and that men with men and women with women was just one illustration that popped into Paul?s mind as somebody who really wasn?t a member of the Greek or Roman societies but who looked on from a distance and disapproved of them. And then he says, "OK, you who judge, you who put yourselves into the place of the seat of God and pass judgment on other people, you, too, then, are making an idol out of yourself, letting your own ego take the place of the Creator, who is the only one who is in a position to judge."[/quote] Taken from the August 3rd Speaking of Faith program on NPR http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/gaymarriage/transcript.shtml A couple of interesting links http://www.libchrist.com/other/homosexual/cor69.html http://www.sigmalogobooks.com/SLB_bible_mistranslated_wrong.html http://www.opendoorcenter.com/myths_&_facts.htm http://www.lookinguntojesus.net/20020908.htm And a link regarding animal homosexuality http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal.html [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/3899]Nathus[/url] on 08-07-2006 08:12)[/small] Loading...
