I have read them. Many times. I invite you right back to read them, but this time, try to employ what some of us call "critical thinking". You know, considering the context of the passage and the intended audience and the purpose of the original words. <br /><br />I know that may be a stretch for you, but give it a try. You'll be amazed by what you learn.<br /><br />Then again, you stretched a blog post about entertaining good friends into a rant about sin, so anything's possible. Even grace.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-20865112130470614942012-10-12T17:26:58.124-04:002012-10-12T17:26:58.124-04:00Elizabeth, let me invite you to repent from not ju...Elizabeth, let me invite you to repent from not just your life of sin but the sin that you lead others to when you occlude the Will of God. You know the Will of God, that nothing must be added to or taken away from His Law (Deut.4:1,2).<br />I invite you to read these passages for the Love of God and the sake of your eternal soul.<br />Leviticus 18:22<br />Romans 1:18-32<br />1 Corinthians 6:9,10,13<br />Galatians 5:19-23<br />1 Thessalonians 4:3-7<br />Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-30668147874801550162012-10-11T19:59:18.311-04:002012-10-11T19:59:18.311-04:00Matthew: So, here's that passage:

Tom is doing the cooking, TBTG. Shrimp boiled in Zatarain's crab, shrimp, crawfish seasoning along with other stuff is on the menu. Our friends are open-minded Roman Catholics, and I expect there won't be a lot of talk about church.<br /><br />Your menu sounds delicious, Elizabeth. Have a lovely visit.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.com
