purething, The sin we struggle against works through the flesh. The struggle is not against flesh and blood though, but against principalities and powers. Sin is a spiritual disease which manifests itself in the flesh. By whatever sin someone is overcome by that sin they are enslaved. Romans 6:12-13 & 16 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey it's lust, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves of obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness. I looked at that web site you posted. I have to tell you that the bible the gay community reads is their re-written version of the true bible. Like all cults the offending scriptures are removed to suit there own desires. The Metropolitan Community Church (the gay denomination of america) has also re-written the bible. It does not walk in the truth. All the scriptures that speak against homosexuality are removed. Homosexuality is a sin and Paul writes that all that practice it will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have there ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with there own desires; 4 and will turn away there ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. The gay community is very militant and will attempt to shout down any disapproval of the "lifestyle". The vehemence of these attacks only points to the conviction that what they do is sin. They cannot stand to hear it and react violently to it. Well it is not a "lifestyle", it is a sin sin. And it's a powerful sin that statistics show few escape from. I feel very sorry for those caught in it. Some have escaped from it and there are ministries devoted to helping the homosexuals escape it. I will try to find out again where they can be contacted. The people caught in this need special help to escape it. Bob
