For grown-ups.Dear editor, Two letters in your May issue eloquently el·o·quent adj. 1. Characterized by persuasive, powerful discourse: an eloquent speaker; an eloquent sermon. 2. make a point about the current divisions in the Anglican Church. One, by Phillip Rutledge (Sad that tolerance should stand above God's word), speaks of political correctness politically correct adj. Abbr. PC 1. Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. coming above the word of God; the other, by Shirley Geigen-Miller (On the radar screen), speaks of Jesus' impatience with those who would put the letter of the law above love for human beings. If one sees kindness and compassion towards homosexuals as some sort of trendy political correctness, then of course one will have difficulty with that taking precedence The order in which an expression is processed. Mathematical precedence is normally: 1. unary + and - signs 2. exponentiation 3. multiplication and division 4. over what one perceives as God's law. Our Lord tells us there are really only two laws of God: love God and love your neighbour. Given Jesus' definition of "neighbour" in the parable of the Good Samaritan The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a famous New Testament parable appearing only in the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37). The majority view indicates this parable is told by Jesus in order to illustrate that compassion should be for all people, , as well as in many other places, I would suggest it is those who oppose the inclusion of gays who must justify why it is that gay people are not our neighbours This article is about an Australian soap opera. For other articles with similar names, see Neighbours (disambiguation). Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera, which began its run in March 1985. in the sense that Jesus intended. Those who think the Bible should be understood literally ought not to be reading a book meant for grown-ups. (With apologies to C. S. Lewis.) Ford Elms St. John's, Nfld. |
