USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Quote of the Day

There you go. You're quoting Saint Paul again.  When you're a little impatient, unkind, envious, boastful, proud, a little rude, selfish, self-seeking, angry, resentful, remember what the man said: it's not love if you're feeling or being any of these things!

 But what does Paul know about love? If he were alive today, I wonder what he would say about same-sex love and marriage. I don't suppose that he could have said these two things to a gay couple who wanted to get married and had approached him for advice:

1. We are all one in Christ

2.  "It's better to marry than to burn"

 Unless by burn he meant "to burn in hell" and not 

to burn as Marvell wails:

"then worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust."

Yeah, "Don't take her to movies but to cemeteries "

The lyrics of Billie Holiday's Fine and Mellow put me in mind of 1^st Corinthians Chapter 13

Re – "It is not proud" indeed that's what John Donne once wrote about death and I quote:

 "Death be not proudthough some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,"

Time to update

We Sweden

"Love is patient,

Love is kind.

It does not envy,

It does not boast,

It is not proud.

It is not rude,

It is not self-seeking,

It is not easily angered.

It keeps no records of wrongs."

--- Corinthians 13: 4-5
