    I was being a little facetious with my catfish and shrimp post, but remember, they too were abominations according to Scripture.

    Under that covenant, they would have been equally offensive sins to God, since he had forbidden them.

    Jim, C4K is 100% correct. Everyone needs to read the story for themselves, and not simply repeat what their pastors told them. In addition, Ezekiel 16:49 again points out why S&G were destroyed.

    It's easier to think that S&G were destroyed for sexual sins rather than pride and idleness, because too many of us are often also guilty of pride and idleness.

    Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed before the Law of Moses. And those eating rules were only given to the nation of Israel, not to Gentiles.

    That's true. But where else at that time, other than in the Law of Moses, did He forbid homosexual behavior?

    Just off the top of my head, by His very Creation of man and woman. Homosexuality is not only sin, it is obviously an unnatural behaviour by the very nature of the body. It is clear by the design of the sexes that the man was created for sex with a woman and vice versa.

    That's right...it's Adam and Eve...not Adam and Steve.

    (Here's an interesting bit of bible trivia)

    Actually, it's not Adam and Eve, either. It's "the man" and "Chavva". "Adam" in Hebrew was not a proper name. "Adam" simply Hebrew for "the man". Adam is not given a proper name until referred to much later in the OT. THe early ENglish translators decided to translate it as a proper name. However, Eve (as we English folks know her) was given the Hebrew name "Chavva", which is a Hebrew name meaning "giver of life". It's still a frequent name given to Jewish girls. How the English translators translated "Eve" from "Chavva" is beyond me. But referring to the first man and woman in Genesis as "Adam" and "Eve" has become a part of our custom, even if it's not translationally exact.

    </font>[/QUOTE]Yeah, sure, John. Or maybe He destroyed them because He didn't like their soccer team.

    Don't you Kerrybots and Peroutkabots understand politics yet?

    Bush at his core does not approve of homosexuality.

    Bush as a politician is always conscious of voters and November.

    Bush as a president has to get elected before he can do anything in his second term.

    Bush will do more positive things in his second term than he did in the first when it comes to domestic issues.

    A Bush second term will be disastrous for the Gay and Lesbian teeny little minority in this country.

    The greatest current fear the leftist homosexuals have is a Bush Second Term.

    I agree. He would do way more positive things for the cause of liberalism/socialism in a second term. :(

    Yes, a second term would be positively disastrous.
