It also will give their other readers some bread crumbs to find their way back to your blog as it is indeed, worth reading.Halfmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335655101343184062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126730.post-33177940231021144192007-05-17T10:36:00.000-04:002007-05-17T10:36:00.000-04:00There may not be many who read this blog, but the ...There may not be many who read this blog, but the ones who do have some great insight.

Keep us from meddling, but break us of our insulation. It is wrong.

Great points.<BR/><BR/>Whenever the subjects of homosexuality and drinking are brought up to me in relation to sin, I like to substitute in their place the issue of helping the poor. I don't get drunk and I don't struggle with homosexuality, but I think that helping the poor is a command even more clear in the Bible. And it's a command that I spent at least half Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778692246518507198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126730.post-53378504642985158422007-05-15T09:06:00.000-04:002007-05-15T09:06:00.000-04:00"Then again, it may be that very few people read t..."Then again, it may be that very few people read the blog!"<BR/><BR/>We're still reading over at the Llama household. This is a hard question -- and, yes, fear of saying the wrong thing keeps me quiet more than it should. <BR/><BR/>This is such a hot issue today for so many reasons. I really like what Jen said here, and agree -- grace is for all. The issue of homosexuality seems to be Llama Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354122767693691797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126730.post-61213648233594993832007-05-14T11:19:00.000-04:002007-05-14T11:19:00.000-04:00Great comment Jen.

I spoke to the writer personnally, and did not get to post back on the blog before I left for South Dakota to pick up my son.<BR/><BR/>Your opening coment is sobering isn't it? I think the silence shows not only our (the body of Christ in general) fear over not wanting to say the wrong thing; not wanting to tackle difficult things; and not caring enough about people.<BR/><BR/>ChosenRebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938339625623946598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126730.post-24061012389853231722007-05-12T09:55:00.000-04:002007-05-12T09:55:00.000-04:00The silence is deafening.

Yes, a believer who commits suicide can go to heaven. There's no automatic pass to hell for this.<BR/><BR/>Similarly, a believer who struggles and even gives in to homosexual sin would not be automatically sent to hell.
