But for now, I am strictly an amateur, putting my thoughts out there; people are free to listen or move on to the next posting.  It's all good in my mind.

Yes, that is the problem. It's not "all good"--some of it is bad. Much the same argument is advanced in favor of  the availability of pornography: one can always change the channel. Once obnoxious, wrongheaded moral opinions are allowed to flourish, the weeds overtake the flowers.  

One does not arrive at truth by continuous compromise. The result is lukewarm and polluted mashed potatoes. And we all know what happens to the lukewarm.

You misquote me Lighthouse, the "its all good" statement referred to my comfort with the poster disagreeing with me.

Would you care to define what arguements in the video that I make can be applied to pornography?  Where am I being obnoxious, wrongheaded, etc.  In short where is my thinking "the weed".  You make pretty broad statements that are more labels than authentic critical analysis.  

The teachings of Christ cannot be compromised; what can be compromised is our understanding of those teachings.  Can you guarentee me that you have a direct link to the brain, mind and heart of Jesus of Nazareth when he walked among us or when he functions as the Christ?  

what needs compromise or conversion is our understanding (which we are all limited in), fundamentalist interpretation of church teaching and then imposing that understanding on the world is the real problem or crisis in the church.  You seem to confuse integrity with humility and charity at least in the posts that I have seen written by you.

Yep, Modernism on a stick.  No, I can guarantee you nothing. But the Church can.
Sure, it's all "understanding".  Given the right "understanding", I can maintain that BBs are cannonballs. Well, I'm not buying what you are  selling. If you are proclaiming that there is no truth that is not compromised by interpretation then you seem to have absorbed your Kant, Hegel, and the other German idealists rather deeply.

There are clear cut facts that the Church presents. You just don't hear them, and have given up to the thought that everything is subjective.

"Functioning as the Christ..." No. Church teaching and His proclamation is that He IS Christ.

Well no, I did catch that part of it. When truth challenges lie, you have no concern with which one wins?

You would prefer to think they are "labels" because you think everything is a "label". I'm sure your "authentic critical analysis" revolves around who is best  able to handle an explanation for the labeling.  

And just to remind you, you have never answered the question as to why you believe in cross-dressing and have a welcome ad for homos on your website.
