Is it possible that the biblical texts were ignorant about homosexual orientation and were thus prohibiting only “unnatural” homosexual practice by participants of heterosexual orientation? This would suggest that the practicing homosexuals in the Bible were involved in homosexuality against their natural inclinations. Yet the nature of sin is that people sin because they want to sin (James 1:13-15). It comes from our desires. No one is dragged into sin kicking and screaming. Homosexuality existed in biblical times because people enjoyed it; they were drawn to it by their own hearts (Mark 7:21-23). An artificial distinction between (sinful) homosexual practice and (justifiable) homosexual orientation contradicts the Scripture’s constant connection of desire, orientation and deed. If the deed was prohibited in Scripture, the desire was too.

INSTRUCTIONS

For the person who asked for a lower fat Spinach Pie--this is not one with
phyllo, but it is very good all the same. It comes from the September 1996
issue of COOKING LIGHT.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt margarine in large saucepan over medium
heat. Add chopped onion, and saute 3 minutes. Stir in flour, salt and
pepper. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until well-blended. Bring
mixture to a simmer, and cook 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring
constantly. Remove saucepan from heat, and stir in the cooked rice,
crumbled feta cheese, egg, egg whites, and spinach.
Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle
Parmesan cheese over pie. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until set.
Broil 2 minutes or until pie is golden brown.
NOTE: I believe I saw "Lite" Feta in the market recently--to lower the fat
a bit more. Joanne
