I guess it be hard to talk about the things dones in secret since it's a shame to even do so.

Can't sue another soldier, from what I understand.

2 Tim 4:2

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove , rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
KJV


How would this apply? Is it not talking about exhorting people? Rebuke/reprove as well?

Would any of you guys go to a gay wedding of a couple who claim faith in Christ and his grace?

They tell me that it gets very, very cold in the mountains of Afghanistan. Often soldiers have to huddle close together to survive the cold by sharing body warmth. When soldiers huddle together for body warmth, that's when you do the ASKING:

"Which of you, if any are of the perverted homosexual gender?" Now that you ASKED, by law they have to TELL!

Since by LAW they have to tell, I can assure you, that lonely dude is going to be an icicle when the sun peeps up over the top of one of those eastern mountains. At least, he will not be sharing any body heat with the rest of the GIs.

Unlike Napoleon who shot them when he discovered one, all you have to do is just ASK and then freeze them into block of ice much like Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt. Make a pillar of ice out of them.

The DADT repeal law does not say you have to keep queenie warm with your body heat. He will turn into a block of ice before morning.

It's called "unintended consequences."

Here's Warren Weirsbe:

Ephesians 5:12 gives us a caution. Be careful how you deal with the "unfruitful works of darkness." The motto today seems to be, "Tell it like it is!" And yet that can be a dangerous policy when it comes to exposing the filthy things of the darkness, lest we unconsciously advertise and promote sin. Some preachers enjoy reveling in the sensational, so much so that their sermons excite appetites and give to the innocent more information than they need."

No kidding. If one wants a verse to mean something, one can make it mean whatever one wants.
