    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    Please forgive me for misunderstanding you. I was getting frustrated that everyone was speaking about a quote of mine that was taken out of context. :)

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    If you read the entire conversation between AmericanAnglican and me, you would see that I explained why some might feel uncomfortable. I also said that I had no problem with showering with a gay man.

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    Yes, and if you read the full conversation between me and AmericanAnglican, you would see that I said I had no problem public showering with a gay man present. I don't want to debate the morality of mixed nudes. I understand this. This is about a ballplayer. I presented what I...

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    And gay men are pretty much like straight men. Read scientific studies about men and what sexually excites them. If I was showering with a bunch of women my straight sex-drive would kick in. That is the same for a great majority of men. I wasn't saying that it would make anyone hit on or lust...

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    I guess you didn't read further to see I considered myself one of those men. Also, I didn't speak of genital mutilation at all. The gay man I was speaking with didn't find me to be misandrous.

    Anyone else seen this?

    In the USA the KJV is public domain. That is probably why they chose it.

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    I personally have always got along really well with gay co-workers and have enjoyed working with and for them. To be clear, I do believe that same-sex sexual relations is sinful. I admire those that have decided to be celibate for the sake of Christ. We all have our crosses to bear. God will...

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    I understand how you want to be treated like a normal man. I have Aspergers Syndrome and most people don't treat me like a normal man. I personally would shower with a gay teammate. I am pointing out why many would prefer not to. I would personally be upset to find anyone, male or female, having...

    Byzantine Catholicism

    It just depends on how you best connect with Christ. Just as there are some who prefer the Novus Ordo and some that prefer the Extraordinary Form or the Anglican Usage, there are some that find it more spiritually fulfilling to worship in a Byzantne Rite, Maronite Rite, Coptic Rite, etc.

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    You have me wrong. I am speaking of men in general (straight or gay). I am speaking with mine and my friends sex drives. Since most men have high sex drives I assume that (gay and straight) men struggle with temptation. Why is it that A high percentage of men (gay or straight) are addicted to...

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    It would be uncomfortable for me to shower with women but that doesn't change the sexual excitement of seeing them naked. It would honestly be hard for me and most straight men to not entertain sexual thoughts while showering with women.

    Detroit Tiger ballplayer would be "uncomfortable" with openly gay teammate

    If most straight men like looking at naked women (such as in inappropriate content), I would assume the gay men like looking at naked men (that is not to say he wouldn't follow locker room etiquette). Also, men generally have a higher sex drive than most women and are very visual.

    Today we commemorate St Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury

    Collect from the 1962 Missal: O God, for the sake of Whose Church the glorious Bishop Thomas fell by the sword of ungodly men: grant, we beseech Thee, that all who implore his aid, may obtain the good fruit of his petition. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with...

    Today we commemorate St Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury

    'He had barely finished speaking when the impious knight, fearing that [Thomas] would be saved by the people and escape alive, suddenly set upon him and, shaving off the summit of his crown which the sacred chrism consecrated to God, he wounded the sacrificial lamb of God in the head; the lower...

    Awesome prophesy of the Mashiach saving us!

    Thank you, Lulav! Basically the translation that I currently use named what the mark would look like: Thau (Latin for Tav/Taw). I wanted to share my discovery with everyone. I do forgive people who have wrongfully attacked me. However, I will be leaving for a while. :wave: If I quoted the next...

    Awesome prophesy of the Mashiach saving us!

    I am pretty sure that I replied to your post but I'll do it again and in more depth. :thumbsup: Do you not believe that a lot of prophecies had two meanings: a more immediate meaning and a far out into the future meaning? Example: Matthew 2:14-15 14 So Joseph got up and took the Child and His...

    I've had a few people ask me my denomination - I am a Melkite...

    Yes, I know that I am a Christian. I have no intention of calling myself: "Messianic". I was explaining to Yonah that Messianic means believing/following the Messiah. I will not say that "I am not Messianic." If something came up and I needed to point out that I do not practice Messianic...
