Re:<<The post was a reference to Biblical Law on gambling (ie Stock Trading) in response to commentary regarding Biblical Law on homosexuality. >>

sarai, what are you really trying to say here? Are you trying to interpolate that Stock Trading is gambling? There is no reference to buying stocks in the Bible. Still, each individual will have to look at his own life to determine if trading stocks interferes with his relationship with the Lord. There is very specific guidance regarding homosexuality. The Bible specifically refers to it as an abomination. Today many people don't care. That is their choice.

A Christian has no choice but to care. But there is nothing that says a Christian must take action against homosexuality. We live in a world that suffers great disparity. We live and let live. If you ask a Christian what the Bible says about homosexuality he will tell you. If you ask him about how he feels about the sin he may tell you that too. But it is important to understand the difference between hating the sin and hating the sinner. Christians should not hate the sinner. If hating the sin makes him a bigot in your book then so be it. Tolerance of all things is not a good thing. Surely you believe that even if you have misgivings about biblical law.
