Dear Author

I cannot agree with your deduction that same sex partners may love one another beyond brotherly love after salvation. Consider please the following: In the beginning God saw that is was not good for man to be alone. God brought man a partner. This partner was brought being of the opposite sex. If this is God's order, it has to stand. There is a saying that some are saved but not yet delivered. I think this might be valid here.

Kind regards

It appears that Neil did not read the answer to which he responded and disagreed. It also appears that he is not aware that there is a Greek word (phileo) that is translated "brotherly love," and another (agape) that is translated into the word love that represents what Christians are to give to all.
The original answer in no way suggests that any *sexual* relationship between members of the same sex is ever acceptable. It also gives a stern caution insisting on the genuine conversion of the former sodomites. Neil's objection was unmerited.
