Stan,
I appreciate your well thought out and Biblical post. I agree that the Bible comes down hard on sin, as it should if it's the Word, but I still believe that up until that last moment of life all sin may be washed away in the blood of the Lamb. Sodomy although particularly odious and un-sanitary is no exception.

What about the dietary strictures? If God is bound by the pronouncements of those who wrote down the Old Testament and may not change with the experience of His people, is my particular love of good bacon a sin? Not in my mind; HE is with us now and He knows that all that was ascribed to having been His word is His to change.

Old Phil is a born again sinner according to his own book. Why would he think that his redemption is unique? I don't think he really does!...Geo
