Norm Abortion is Post its speciality, drunkeness would go to Joshua, I know he dissagrees but when you promote drinking as ok some will get the message and move on to drunkeness, fornication and adultury in my opinion and the Bible homosexuality is sin so the practice is fornication and if married or with someone who is then adultery. as to wide range ungodly beliefs look at the threads on virgin born and abortion atleast that is my view you have the right to yours.

I have read a few of Post It's posts on abortion and his position is held by many people, including conservatives and liberals. While it is not my intention nor desire to enter this debate, making a case for murder for Post It's position, even by conservative scholars is typically considered untenable. As one moves from a conservative to fundamentalist perspective, I would suspect little support for his position. Moreover, I notice that Post It does not advocate abortion, but understands a necessity to engage in such a practice at times. Most would, I assume consider his position reasonable. In terms of Joshua, is it your assertion that he advocates drunkeness? Is it your position that if one is not generally opposed to drinking then one is generally in favor of drunkeness? How does that logically follow? And given that such a link would conceptually be your best argument, assuming it was logical, how do unrelated concepts like fornication, adultry, and homosexual behavior stem from: a) one generally allowing for drink, or b) one engaing in drink? I would think someone has a passel of 'splainin' to do. I will not quibble with you concerning homosexuality, for I can understand why you would assert the relationships that you have, however, responsible biblical scholarship, of which you are not likely to find agreement makes a plausible case for a commited homosexual relationship. It appears to me, in my brief membership on this board, that ungodly is typically criticism that is given for that which one disagrees. Hardly a rationale, even if the evaluation is actually correct. However, my larger point in this discussion remains -- when one seeks to marginalize a brother or sister in Christ or brothers and sisters in a greater sense: a) one, as a Christian, is grieving the Holy Spirit, and/or b) one ought to at least provide adequate support for such assertions to show cause why such assertions do not cause the Spirit grief, even if the behavior does. Wouldn't you consider such a fair statement? And if it is, either evidence needs to be forthcoming on what has been peviously stated or apologies are in order.
