Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell I agree, as you know, although when I pressed you to give a personal opinion on this specific issue on page 13 and thereafter, you refused. And now you've expressed your personal opinion anyway. To be clear, it's not the Bible that says 'Its your hotel, robbie, you make the rules, not the guests', right? This is just you asserting your perceived rights as a businessman and a citizen, right?
Its my hotel, i make the rules, not the guests.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieIf a Christian hotel owner lets gays and unweds share rooms, is it OK or is it sinful to allow it, according to your understanding of the bible?
because you are providing an environment which may be conducive to illicit sexual activity, that being fornication (sex outside of marriage)
Originally posted by robbie carrobieim confused you seem to be saying you dont believe in platonic friendships but the best marriages are based on platonic friendships? could you clarify?
oh yes, I also believe that the best marriages are based on platonic relationships but i guess i am just an old fashioned type of guy!
Originally posted by FMFno its a compromise to the situation, the Bible condemns homosexuality, ones conscience must be aligned to the Biblical principle as far as its depends upon one to uphold those principles, one cannot chaperone nor put surveillance on people in a hotel as its a breach of their privacy, therefore separate rooms is a compromise. This may appease the pangs of conscience and at the same time allow homosexuals to stay in ones hotel as long as the do not engage in illicit sex.
You mean it's your personal preference mixed with a bit of Bible?
For the non Christian this present no problem, but the Christian hotelier is guided by different principles and has different values.
