Pope sends direct message to Ben

[Ben Kenobi]

When you justify the Pope not telling sinners they sin, yes doubletalk. You do it always.

One would think that if it's clear and sound teaching you desire that you would respond to it when given.

[Kidlicious]

The people not understanding the concept of love the sinner, not the sin, obviously. And a person that don't know the doctrine on this issue, has to have lived under a stone his whole life. I don't buy it.

So you believe that every sin, defined in the Bible (or church doctrine), is a sin? I didn't know you believed that way. Lots of Christians these days don't, especially when it comes to women's rights (and this issue). I think it should be assumed that the person who asked the question wants to know the direct answer.

You are just doing what you always do. Go learn what indirect communication means. He was not teaching that homosexuality is sin.

[Kidlicious]

I make up my own mind about people, and I very, VERY rarely completely give up on the idea that someone has some basic humanity in them.

You always say people are bad because many believe so.

[Ben Kenobi]

He was not teaching that homosexuality is sin.

According to whom? You? What church do you attend again?

No I don't.

I'm not a liberal, no.

[DaShi]

I'll bet you think Hitler was bad. But have you ever met Hitler? Have you ever sat down, had a conversation with him, and listened to what he had to say?

You want to know my church because I said he didn't communicate that homosexuality is sin?

Walk a mile in his boots

[Ben Kenobi]

You're claiming magisterial authority. I want to know the basis for your claim to this authority.

[Kidlicious]

I'm not a liberal, no.

Don't you think the questioner is?

[Nikolai]

Don't you think the questioner is?

He very well may be, but he's interviewing the pope.

[Kidlicious]

No I don't.

You implied that the mob determines who is evil many times. And you implied that homosexuals are evil in this thread by say BK was gay.

I think you're quite poor at working out the implications of what people are saying. You should probably stick to listening to the things people actually say.
