→Unclear Sentence: Lev. 18:22
::::"Preaching the Gospel" is a phrase which generally means telling people the Good News about Jesus Christ, in an effort to lead them to God. Carrying a sign which says "God Abhors You" is not, in my book, preaching the Gospel. Can you imagine Jesus doing such a thing? Leading gently by example is a much more appropriate and effective approach. These men were not preaching the gospel, they were looking for confrontation and attention. Let's not endorse their actions as being somehow "Christian". --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 09:02, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

:::::Where, in the citation provided, [http://www.cwfa.org/familyvoice/2005-03/philadelphia_march_april.pdf] is there mention of Christians arrested for carrying a sign that says, "God Abhors You"? If you can't provide it, your objection I'll regard as trolling. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 14:18, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

I believe she's referring to Lev. 18:22. Abomination and abhor have similar Latin roots. Hsmom, I think you make some excellent points, especially re. Jesus. That kind of thinking is sadly lacking around here at times. --[[User:Robledo|Robledo]] 14:41, 11 May 2007 (EDT)
