Here's the post: http://jackscottsbisexualbuddies.blogspot.com/2012/01/psalm-139.html<br /><br />To your point, though, you are NOT inherently evil. Here are my two cents on the matter. I believe that taking God's name in vain is not using foul words, but rather doing things in the name of God that goes against God's will. Sadly, so much harm and shame has been done in God's name, including using Scripture as a weapon against people. The Bible isn't the problem; it's those who would misuse it to make people feel like the nature in which God has created them is somehow bad. <br /><br />The Bible is meant to be a source of comfort and hope. It is not, in any way, a set of rigid rules. Jesus brought good news and reached out to the marginalized. Back then, it was the prostitutes and tax collectors. Today, it would be the GLBT community.<br /><br />If you get a chance, check out the movie "For the Bible Tells Me So." It's on Netflix Instant.Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417879115453658262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989471062521150993.post-59061259896773899322012-01-25T21:21:32.684-08:002012-01-25T21:21:32.684-08:00Yes I'm really happy to find out I'm not a...Yes I'm really happy to find out I'm not alone...this blogging thing has turned out to be a breath of fresh air!
