[Magdalen] Am I a troll?

[Zephonites at aol.com]

Allan
 
I am very sorry to hear that - genuinely. 
 
But does that mean therefore that I cannot have a different view to you on  
gay marriages or even on marrying divorcees in Church (compared to those 
who  won't).
 
I don't say the Bible is against homosexuals. Why - because it isn't -  and 
this is the mistake many conservative Evangelicals have made.
 
Have you seen me being nasty to you? No
 
Have I called  for damnation on you and your friends am I?  No 
 
Why because "He who is without sin cast the first stone."
 
But does this mean I have to agree with you on this issue. 
 
But I am happy to drop the hot potato.
 
Blessings
Martin
