I\u2019m fine with being proven wrong on this, and the last thing I\u2019m trying to do is prooftext with the Bible. I really don\u2019t believe that\u2019s the way we are intended to read it. A different approach, then, is to look at the spirit of the Gospel, to look at its earliest implementation in the first century church, and ask myself whether making pronouncements about people\u2019s particular sins seemed to be a priority. I submit that it did not.\u00a0That it still should not. I took this question to my friend, the priest of my parish, and he wisely pointed out that sin in the Bible is hardly ever talked about in terms of this or that action, but rather as a state that we all live in. In that way, it\u2019s not the kind of thing we identify in others\u2019 actions because it is more than that, it is our very nature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
