No way, jose. If there's one thing I'm not, it's patient. It's a miracle that I can sit through an entire baseball game.

I don't think this quote is correct. Looks like someone said this who spuse opinions and has never actually read the bible.

Someone taking shots at someone else for a lack of biblical knowledge, may want to back up their challenge.

I can only recall one time that Jesus spoke out about homosexuality, and I don't even know where.

But I do know that there is an entire parable concerning a Wedding.

there are many excerpts in regards to cleaving to your spouse, marriage, etc...there are two that state man was made for woman & vice versa...

Lenny- there is one place in the NT where Jesus supposedly spoke of homosexuality, and it is a pretty tangential reference at that, which takes a bit of stretching in interpretation. There are many many places where he speaks directly of the inviolable nature of marriage.

It's also in Leviticus, I believe, but that's not in the NT. It also probably says I am to be stoned for not knowing for sure. Leviticus is a harsh book.

That said, this is still quasi-germane to the topic, but I would like us to steer clear of the tangent this presents us. This ain't the CE Forum.

I stand corrected. I'm sorry, I was thinking of how many times the bible references homosexuality, but you all said how many times Jesus said against it.

Although, isn't one time of Jesus saying it enough to make it so? I'm sorry I disagreed with you all. I didn't realize you would take it so personally. I guess I will crawl back under the rock I came out from now.

<ahem> Getting back on topic, I wonder how this affects the various charitable foundations they were involved in together.

Well.....this certainly did get off topic....

Nocahoma · 02-16-2007, 12:45 AM

Yes, what part of "steer clear of the tangent" did you guys not understand?

BravesRule22 · 02-16-2007, 02:45 AM

I blame this on Meta

Hopefully John will repress all his emotions and channel them into throwing baseballs real good like.

For me I think it was the word "tangent". I'll try to take the time to look it up later.

I also wonder if this will affect any of his endorsement deals. Those weeds are sure to take over the yard without Smoltz there to spray them down!
