I first studied Greek on a university level in 1976. And, as you know, Paul's letter to the Romans, the very one you referenced, was written in koine or biblical Greek. I'll just let my response speak for itself. You site Romans 1 (verses 26-28) where the apostle Paul, under divine inspiration, plainly condemns lesbianism and homosexuality. You then claim that he was 'discussing apostate Christians who retum[ed] to the temple practices of Magna Mater, the Roman State Cult' This is a feeble attempt to localize the impact of Paul's words, sir. Actually, Paul's condemnation of same-sex practices was not just to the Romans, but was universal. At Romans 16:4 he mentions 'all the congregations of the nations.' And in the same chapter, verse 16, he again mentions 'all the congregations.' (Rom...

Golden claims she coined the term for th...

You pause and think, 'Well, they are my friends. They probably don't mean it,'" adds [Xavier Garcia], also 25. "We just accepted it as, 'This is what a football team is like.' But there was a lot of damaging going on. When they decided to film one another talking about their experiences, they took the first steps toward a much larger project that could rectify some of that damage - "Cultura Ijile," or "Cultural Identity." "Cultura" means "culture" in Spanish; "ijile" means "identity" in Yoruba, a west African dialect. "Our cultural roots are a direct result of Stoneham," says Garcia, who makes it clear that he enjoys living here. "The main purpose [of 'Cultura Ijile' is] to uplift, inspire and change - to show that we're all the same."
