The Bible also teaches justice and God's hatred
of sin:

Romans 1:25-32
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and
served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.
Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for
their women exchanged the natural function for that which is
unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural
function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another,
men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own
persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see
fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved
mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all
unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder,
strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God,
insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to
parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice
such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also
give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Feel free to cut that out of your "loose leaf" Bible, though.

See? Catholics and Lutherans *can* agree on some things!

Daniel

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to
do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger." -- Hermann Goering, April 18, 1946

"The spiritual decline of the earth is so far advanced that
the nations are in danger of losing the last bit of spiritual
energy that makes it possible to see the decline, and to
appraise it as such." -- Martin Heidegger
