Comments on: Gay Man Suing Bible Publishers Over ‘Homosexual’ Verses http://www.jesussite.com/blog/2008/07/gay-man-suing-bible-publishers-over-homosexual-verses/ An Online Christian Resource Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:59:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: David Wallace http://www.jesussite.com/blog/2008/07/gay-man-suing-bible-publishers-over-homosexual-verses/comment-page-1/#comment-119 David Wallace Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:28:11 +0000 http://www.jesussite.com/blog/?p=83#comment-119 @Joe Bonni - That might be a first reaction but it is not fitting with Jesus' command for us to turn the other cheek. It would also start a legal war between "Christians" and the gay community. No, if we are going to "defeat" the gay community, defeat meaning to help see them change one by one, we have to do so with God's truths, the gospel message and love. This lawsuit is frivolous anyway and will very likely be thrown out of court. The two Bible publishers are simply re-printing a translation(s) that they did not author. Were a judge to be insane enough to rule in the gay man's favor that the translations are offensive, well then I suppose you'd have to go after those who actually did the translation and they are all dead. Then there's the 1st amendment - free speech and all. @Joe Bonni – That might be a first reaction but it is not fitting with Jesus’ command for us to turn the other cheek.

If you get a chance, feel free to read my "report" and commentary on my blog.
