Your ignoring my point which is To give homosexuals recognized and approved military status is to pave the way for them to further push their agenda. If this were ONLY DADT and it was going to stop there, I could see your point a little bit more. But its not. Sin is never satisfied, and the homosexual activists haven't kept it secret what their goals are-they want open and full acceptance on every level of society, from the military, to the elementary school, to the church, etc. Do YOU really think this is ONLY about the military, and nothing whatsoever will ever come out of it again?

Like I said there are some hetero sexuals in jail that can testify that the homosexuals "issue" didn't become theirs.


I'm all for reaching out to all people. Incarcerated, homeless, abused, addicts, and even homosexuals. I'm not afraid of their sin, anymore than when I go to the county jail and preach to rapists, theives, and murderers, and there's probably some homosexuals there.

Just because I don't speak for their right to sin and the government make me approve of it, doesn't mean I don't love them.

You should try it sometime....it just might have an incredible impact on the way you see people like him.
Smith, what makes you think I would do anything different? What do you think I would do, tell Him God hates him and unless he repents this moment he's burning in hell forever?

I'd do much the same, we've had gay people visit our church, though I'm appalled by their lifestyle, I go out of my way (I'm pretty shy in person) to make them feel welcome and shake their hand. They need God, just like I needed (and still do) need God. I'm not against loving the homosexual any more than loving the murderer. I AM against making their sin (and any sin) more convienient, and see their sin as particulary dangerous to society because obviously if everyone was homosexual the human race would die out in a genereation. This is not a debate on the sinner, but on the sin.
