[CS-FSLUG] God Didn't Say That

[Eduardo Sanchez]

Leon: that's right. I initially understood Ralph's statement as meaning 
"The Bible does not condemn homosexuals but does condemn homosexual sex 
(and other sexual practices as part of the religious service)". I was 
wrong. As it stands, Ralph's statement is incorrect.

My position is that sexual intercourse is acceptable only within the 
boundaries of a lawful marriage, understood as the lifelong, 
society-sanctioned, union of one man with one woman. Everything else is 
outside the scope of God's will for humankind, be it for pagan service 
or for any other purpose.

Blessings,


Eduardo
