[Vision2020] Say What?

[Saundra Lund]

Actually, Paul, you completely missed the point, which was the ***female***
Army chaplain, not "sinners."

Those in that subset don't think that women should be chaplains, pastors . .
. or sit on school boards.

The point you miss that Blake Law was making is that *neither* belong in the
military according to those in Wilson's World or that "subset of
Christians."

Easy to miss the point when one works oh, so hard to make excuses for the
inexcusable rather than taking people at their word.

I'm not a theologian by any means, but if this chaplain is of a subset of
the Christian religion then they believe that *everyone* is a sinner.  It's
human nature, it's why Jesus was required to come down to Earth, etc.  So
this chaplain was not saying (as her quote could sound) that she would treat
a homosexual as one of those other sinners, like rapists, murderers, or
whatever.  She's saying that she would treat them like anyone else,
basically.

People more versed in Christian theology, feel free to show me to be wrong
on this.

Paul
