[TruthTalk] Did Lot preach to Sodom?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Judy: >Ruth's choice was not a chancy thing   well, what was it, then, if not a covenent(?)-- what are you tryin' to do with this issue? gary ottoson :: http://poet235.com   jt:  I don't know how you understand the word covenant Gary or how David Brooks understands it for that matter.  He apparently applies it to the marriage agreement and this is the closest thing we have in our society to a Biblical covenant.   However, there is nothing magical about marriage in and of itself, that is, without the blessing and grace of God which would never be bestowed from on high if a marriage involved two men.   Ruth did not marry Naomi - therefore she did not 'covenant' with her even if we do use Mr. Brooks understanding of the word. A Biblical covenant is to the death which ideally marriage should be but is not in our culture and in our time.   Judy
