Greg,<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]you did not not make this context clear in your original answer</font><hr></blockquote><p>The sequence went:<br><br>1) I had posted Romans 1:32, which contains the phrase "deserve death"<br>2) You quoted my post of Romans 1:32, which contains the phrase "deserve death", and then<br>3) You asked me whether a certain group "deserve death"<br>4) I then answered your question<br><br>How could I have been referring to anything other than Romans 1:32 and its context (1:18-31)? To allege otherwise, as you have now done twice, is baseless.<br><br>Of far greater concern to me, Greg, is that in your responses you continue to refuse to acknowledge that, due to the depravity of our wicked hearts, God is not obligated--though you have set yourself up as his judge in this matter--to delineate every possible manifestation of sin in order to justly condemn us. The term sexual immorality/impurity is clearly understood, as stated multiple times in this thread, as any sexual activity outside that positively ordained, namely, faithful marriage between one man and one woman.<br><br>Note also that all good things given for our pleasure and well-being--life, love, companionship, breath, food, drink, work, marriage, child-bearing, clothing, shelter, reading, music, transport, commerce, etc.--are all portrayed as good and necessary in the Word. Please instruct us all as to where in the Word this activity which has so ensnared you, is so positively delineated.

In Christ,
Paul S
