“Love The Sinner Hate The Sin”: Plea For A New Paradigm

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard the line “love the sinner, hate the sin” when the topic of homosexuality comes up I’d be a rich man (or at least have enough to pay my bills). It seems to be an ‘easy’ response to the situation but one that irks me considerably….

Paul The Apostle: Did His Homosexuality Shape Christianity?
Bymary

Adam & Steve? – A Quick Look At Genesis 5:1-3
