I haven't quoted your whole post to save space. I broadly agree with you, but I don't think it's a question of sanitising it's more a question of putting things in a way which can get a message across in a positive way rather than a negative way. As a thought, I wonder how many converts that...

You need to read the whole letter to get the full meaning. And the overall message is love not punishment.

All of that may be correct and I don't claim any particular knowledge of classical Greek, certainly not enough to translate. But again, when translating any language, you don't do it word by word you look at the whole context as there are rarely straight word for word translations and different...

From your post #1393 (my bold) My post was not about courts view but modern day corporate view so please respond to the correct context my posts were put in please.

No, you accused me of deliberatly misrepresenting you which is a completely different thing to expressing a counter view.

Yes, I know the Bible was written in Greek and if you go back a page you'll see where I specifically said that. Translation being a highly subjective art in which the nuances of words are important. Even as you note above, the translation that you quote does not use the word "homosexual" and...

The problems of translation.:)

It's not defined, it's open to interpretation. The term homosexual only dates from the 1880s and was first used by German psychologists. Long after the Bible was written.

It's a beautiful translation, but even it doesn't use the word homosexual. I question whether Israel has a deep enough knowledge of Jacobean English to correctly interpret that version. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 King James Version (KJV) 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the...

That's my point, assuming that you have read my posts, taking isolated passages without taking the context into account doesn't present and accurate picture or meaning of the words. See post #1486 on this page. I posted the quotation to illustrate that the passage in question doesn't use the...

Depends which translation of the Bible that one chooses to use: (note no mention of homosexuals) 1 Corinthians 6:9 Revised Standard Version (RSV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor...

Which is unfortunate as his underlying message of love, repentence and forgiveness is obscured by the other stuff. Taking isolated passages from any book, including the Bible, can often lead to misinterpretation of the underlying message. Often the warnings are given in the context of what...

It would seem then that they have a problem with one word in one post? Because at least a few of those posts deliver the same message.

So you're saying that she's the perfect fit for a senior role at RA? :)

Is it any wonder that Folau didn't understand what Cheika was talking about with his social media "advice"

Great to see Augs and Waverley getting the chance to play on Manly Oval in 16s and opens as Manly have the bye. Hallowed turf.

This is tin foil hat stuff.

I'm not going to get into a ridiculous tit for tat with you. Go back a read the post which I posted first - I was talking about the courts. So you you respond to a post about the courts with a post about big corporate employers and complain when I go back to the original point? Really? Maybe...

You shouldn't be confused, because defending rights includes defending the rights of people who you either don't like or don't agree with. So an openly gay MP (Moana Pasifika) defended Israel Folau as well. Liberal MP (Moana Pasifika) Tim Wilson defends Israel Folau’s right to air his views Israel Folau has found support...

Although overwhelmingly those in positions of power and authority are distinctly upper middle class anglos. Not much cultural diversity in this lot. Cameron Clyne Chairman. Dr Brett Robinson Deputy Chairman. Raelene Castle Chief Executive. Pip Marlow Director. Paul McLean MBE Director. Hayden...
