[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 21:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
We wouldn't normally put a link to the talk page in an article, as you did at The Bible and homosexuality. Only the verifiable information goes on the article, and those who want to read the talk page can easily click on the appropriate tab. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I can't figure out what you are doing. You seem to be adding a huge chunk of talk page that you copied from somewhere to talk pages all over Wikipedia, as here and here. Please don't do that. We try to make our arguments simply and clearly; copy-and-pasting these enormous chunks of text makes the conversation hard to follow, and it isn't quite fair to add another user's comments to a talk page that they may not have intended them to apply to. If you think the talk on another page is important to a discussion you're having, it's much less disruptive to simply link to it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This is a warning
No, you really cannot cite the article's talk page as a source, as you again added in this change. It is important that you stop trying to force your own point of view into this or any other article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to The Bible and homosexuality, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:46, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments on "King James syntax and Homosexuality"
Thanks for the clarification of "King James syntax and Homosexuality". I agree that the passages you are looking at are often misunderstood and misused. I also think that I agree that the passage implies that homosexual feelings can be “natural.” This is indicated by, "...he turned them over to their lusts....” It is also that case that St. Paul believes that man in his “natural” state is alienated from God. In other words, being “natural” in this sense is not a good thing. Nevertheless, I would suggest that if you are seeking comfort, you do not need to do so via erudite exegesis of the passages in the Bible. Both “good people” and “sinners” fall victim to all manners of illnesses, mental and physical. And while God calls each of us through our unique suffering and circumstances, Jesus teaches that the afflictions and tragedies we suffer are not necessarily because of our particular sins. See John 9:2-3 and Luke 13:1-4. Perhaps while you are concerning yourself with exegesis, you can also meditate on God’s love for you. God is the passionate lover, the bridegroom in the Song of Solomon. He says to us, “You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; you have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes....” He invites us to love him and say with bride in the Song of Solomon, “I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.” He sent his only begotten son so that “all who believe in him might have life everlasting” (John 3:17). And this only son has shown us the greatest of love, calling us “friends” (John 15:15) and lying down his life for us. The only unique commandment he gave us is, “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34). He is both teacher AND savior: “...the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled we shall be saved by His life" (Rom. 5:8-10). So regardless of whether you are perceiving yourself as a man or a woman, always trust that Jesus is walking with you, suffers with you, and loves you unequivocally exactly as you are.LCP 17:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
