I say what you say... without all the qualifiers,

I can't speak for the sword that is flaming but for me I DO care if someone is gay because unlike the beard and other man made "standards" he referred to in his post homosexuality is something explicitly prohibited in the bible. So we should love gay people but not say we "don't care" if one is gay. We do. We want them to not engage in this sin.

I was speaking more to the exclusionary nature of the post. In this case I will say... my bad, because he alludes purely to Pentecostals, not humanity as a whole.

Flaming's definition of brother/sister only extends to members of this particular creed, mine goes somewhat beyond it to encompass... well everyone.

Amen. I was going to say that the orig post started with a really big word; If...

While the past couple of years of study have caused me to see more doctrine of Original Sin at work there, a plainer way to put it might be that Christ ate dinner with lepers; a death sentence in that age. While I understand the If, I can't empathize, only sympathize, wadr.

Universal reconcilliation? (if so you guys save a ton of money since you don't need to send missionaries to spread the gospel!)
