I don't doubt that it was either presented or received as a joke. But it's not funny and it's nothing to joke about, in my opinion.

Sounds to me like the icy cold hand of conviction has grabbed your heart about your short sleeves and you are just fighting it!!!

It may have not been biblically correct but it was politically correct.

I actually prefer to wear long sleeves and roll them up if it's warm. I don't like the term "Homo" and I don't like it when it's used in a "joking" manner. I don't think it's anything to laugh at. Sorry.

These are, after all, the people we claim we want to reach. They're the people that Jesus wept over. They're the people who wondered about with no shepherd that moved Jesus with compassion. They're the people that broke the heart of God to the point that He sent His only begotten Son to die.

When I first moved to California, a group of very fine bible college students took me to the "Castro District" in San Francisco to laugh at people. It broke my heart, more for their mocking than the gay community I saw for the first time in my life. Their laughter and crass jokes were horrifying then, and it's horrifying now.

So when a loud-mouth shows up and cracks a joke about people in short-sleeves being "homos", I don't laugh and I'm expressing my opinion. I understand that I'll be vilified by some, or maybe most, but that's ok.

You're not gonna start that again, are you? Will you, at least, read the entire thread before you keep harping about it? Please?

This is being biblically correct.

...

They went there to laugh? Sad.

Reminds me of a story I've heard Chuck Smith tell. I don't remember the details but he and his wife went somewhere to look at the "Hippies." Chuck was pointing and commenting but his wife was weeping over "those poor children." Some of her attitude rubbed off on him and in time he started inviting them to his church and ministering to them. Eventually he had a bunch of them saved and serving the Lord.
