Did you have any specific comments on your reading of the Colossians passage?<br /><br />@Andrew - I didn't say that such an attraction is akin to disorganization, I said that calling the former an error is akin to calling the latter an error - I hope you see the distinction. Also, I'm not sure I understand your second point - I did not mention Paul's arguments about marriage (?)ericjosephrubiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780186484991808304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90228482697254993.post-61538710283597355842011-05-01T08:52:14.592-05:002011-05-01T08:52:14.592-05:00Thanks for a thoughtful response to OneWheaton'...Thanks for a thoughtful response to OneWheaton's letter. I disagree with you, however, when you state that being attracted to men or women is akin to being disorganized. It's not. It's akin to being attracted to men and women. <br /><br />As for what Paul affirms, it most certainly is not marriage -- his attitude is scornful at best. Yet me makes a concession for those who can't control their sexual attraction. If he believes that a concession to the flesh is appropriate in such circumstances, I see not why it matters whether one is attracted to women or men.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90228482697254993.post-24805275988908470592011-05-01T00:25:00.625-05:002011-05-01T00:25:00.625-05:00You seem a smart young man--but you have so much y...You seem a smart young man--but you have so much yet to learn as you enter adult life. You may not be so certain as you are now about what Paul does or doesn't "affirm." I admire your surety, but I smile in a friendly way at your arrogance, and wish you good fortune on the journey ahead :)Scott Nelson '86noreply@blogger.com
