Paul was probably gay you know. Romans just reeks of it.

yes i did, i thought the Christians, like sonship, or you, or suzzianne or anyone else might have some thoughts.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieSince we Christians are in and part of this world, we can not avoid association with immoral people. So Paul was clarifying that he was referring to those immoral people within the Church that are claiming to be Christian brothers.
how is this helping?
Originally posted by RJHindsbut how is this helping those people who are inclined towards homosexuality, fight the inclination and to bring their lives into harmony with scripture?
