Okay, I'm going to respond to you as though you were an honest correspondent who just got mixed up in the thread.

In my post #309 I said:


In your post #320, you quoted my post #309 and said:


My response to your post #320 was post #322, which said:


And then you respond with post #339:


Now, maybe you just got confused in the thread and thought you were responding to someone else. I'll leave it at that.
not wanting to get off topic here but the way quotes are cut off after the ist generation has caused more than one instance of confussion.

Why don't you take your own advice and read posts properly? It takes no great leap of the imagination to view someone who expresses contempt for a woman witnessing to an immemorial and very basic Christian belief that Adam and Steve don't make a married couple, and indeed for contempt for that witness, as endorsing sodomy. You are in effect saying that the second largest Christian denomination in the world is not mainstream. Because same-sex 'marriage' certainly is not. If anyone is an interloper here, it is you.
Paul, Greg never would promote sodomy; he has criticized the way some Orthodox Christians have (on Facebook, etc.) put Kim Davis on a pedestal, so to speak. That doesn't mean he promotes sodomy, and yes I have read every post. All of us on TAW believe strongly in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, and we all deny the validity of a marriage between two people of the same sex.

That will only happen if one is an extremely judgmental person and yes, who did not read. Had they read, they would have seen that no one gave any indication of holding anyone in contempt, nor support sodomy.

So you words are null and void.

I don't know if you are actually in the UK, but if you are. I would think your reading skills would be so much better. Since you guys across the pond like to think your education system is so much better than what we got in America. Based on your responses, your reading comprehension skills seem to leave much to be desired.

You're right, we don't need to talk about Kim, for this tread was never actually about Kim the person, but Orthodox people making her out to be a hero/martyr.
Is it making her a hero or personifying themselve in her.

I understand.... over-tiredness can eventually 'get to' the best of us, I'm sure.

I also appreciate your not wishing to burden me with explaining it to you, point by point.

But I admire your chuzpah, even when you're feeling 'under the weather'.

A happy outcome for both of us. Thank you.

Just peeking in - the thread still goes on! I see at least one mention of the initial point, and a bit of apparent misunderstanding as well.

I have to agree with Obi-Wan though ...
