That’s just a coincidence and I don’t understand how a word from PIE ends up having two completely unrelated meanings. Heterosexual, as a linguistic equivalent, has the root that means different but has no counterpart in Latin, so there is no connection.
That’s because what you posted was incorrect.
Exactly. They may not have agreed with their sex life but they accepted the people into their church. Perhaps you think gay people should not be made welcome in churches.
This creates a very fine line between hating the sin and loving the sinner. How reasonable is it to claim to hate the sin while accepting those who are unapologetic about committing it? How is it possible to condemn a sin without condemning those who commit it? What does that look like in practice? “Gee, I condemn that you’re an abortionist, but why don’t we go out for drinks later?” If we’re accepting of unrepentant sinners how serious is our claim to condemn the sin?
You could just talk about the sin in general when the time is appropriate.
No. Back to the OP…
You already said this.
Repeating it over and over here is not the same thing as spreading it over the world.
But it’s a start… How do you propose to spread it?
No, it isn’t. Everyone here already knows what you are saying so it is pointless and even detrimental if done excessively.
You aren’t changing minds and you aren’t even informing anyone since they already know.
You can read the minds of all others on this Forum?
Doing otherwise tends to make people more obstinate.
You can tell by their posts whether someone is convinced or not.
I’m not trying to be funny here, but that’s not my concern. I have no problem with gay people or what they do in the privacy of their own homes. How you manage it is your problem. Maybe treat them as if they were one of your family members.Freddy:

Jesus also traveled extensively and didn’t spend time repeating the same stuff to people who already heard what He said.
As you keep doing?
