Well, there you go: yet another reading on John's text. All the more reason to withhold judgment until it becomes evident the meaning he is attempting to convey. Bill PS The word "gay," while not an accurate depiction of the homosexual lifestyle, has nonetheless become a figurative convention in our language. To use "gay" interchangeably with "homosexual" in this day and age does not necessarily indicate any bias at all on the part of the speaker. BUT, because it is no longer a social convention to call a homosexual a "sodomite," to do so is to demonstrate a strong and negative bias. This, it seems to me, ought to be at least a heads up to you and others who may still want to reach these people with the Gospel of our Lord (Moreover, the question as to whether it is right or wrong for Christian to employ that language in in-house discussions of homosexuality is quite beside the point.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Mormons and Street Preachers > Bill Taylor quoted John: > > Well, for one thing, it does not include the > > lesbian side of the circumstance nor does it > > apply to a hugh population of gay types. > > Many do not practice sodomy. > > I thought he was trying to say that there are many homosexuals who had not > yet experienced anal sex, but perhaps only oral sex or some other of their > various perversions.
