(an original name for the New Testament is the "testimony of the Apostles.")<br /><br />If you don't respect and obey the word of Jesus' Apostles--that is the New Testament--you also don't respect and obey Jesus Himself.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966235952396411164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2710965676105213198.post-77344474100916494842011-11-30T15:13:27.612-05:002011-11-30T15:13:27.612-05:00I think its also important to distinguish between ...I think its also important to distinguish between homosexual temptation/desire (what many call "orientation" today) and actual practice--what the Bible speaks to. While not a temptation I've faced--as with all temptation, that temptation itself is not a sin...rather giving into it is.<br /><br />It's often assumed today that if someone has the "orientation" than they are bound to give in to it and practice homosexual "love" (whatever that is...). I believe that is a serious lie purveyed by the devil and the forces of darkness.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966235952396411164noreply@blogger.com
