We are not talking about the clouded discussion of whats said over baptism, one God, or 1step vs 3 step salvation. We are talking about obvious abomination and sin in the eyes of God that is plainly written in scripture.

Yes I would stay with her if were the only place to stay. It is not my home, I do not pray for the annointing and protection of the Holy Ghost over her home, I do mine. And yes, if she requested me and my wife sleep seperatly I would honor her request.



I obviously am not going to monitor their every move. If they "snuck" a kiss or two then they did. I'm sure God honors the controls I put in place that are under my control. Your really just grasping at straws now.
Sorry, Scotty, I should have been clearer with my response. When I said the being around your family thing I was taking for granted that we would both understand I was talking about under your roof. Forgive me - that was my bad & a communication error.

You mentioned clouded discussions. I have a question or sorts. The things you mentioned about baptism & such, I have always understood that from a typical OP point of view that those individuals that don't do it 'the way the OP churches teach' then they are in sin. I have understood it to be a belief by many OP's that these people are just as wrong as two boys kissing...do you feel these way? Not attempting to argue at all - looking for information for my knowledge. I am the first to tell anyone I don't have all the answers or all the right info.

I wasn't sure that you would monitor their every move. It seemed that you might based on your comment previously, but glad you clarified this for me. I know for me, personally, I invited my roommates to move in with me. I have no problem with them, their lifestyle or whatever. They are perhaps the most conservative openly gay male couple in the world. One voted for Romney in the election. I knew what I was getting myself into with this living situation. It couldn't be a better living arrangement than it is with them.

I am not a believer in "evil spirits" getting all over me because of their actions and me being damned anymore than anyone else's faith being able to save me.
(that was just a statement not a response to anything you said exactly)
