Tony Jones offered this post in support of same-sex marriage. I don't agree with a lot of his theology or politics, but I always value an alternative opinion to my own.

Not certain about the exegesis. At all. Thoughts?
Another possibly related point. Many folks exegete the 'homosexuality' passages in an odd way, saying they are about abuse. I'm not certain this works, but I'm glad now I have an excuse to be proven wrong.
Another thing, many folks appeal to Jesus's very words, of which there seem to be none, in support of the homosexual lifestyle. However, that's an appeal to silence I think.
Sigh. I guess I just need to knuckle down and do the research.
To the future!

it'll be interesting to find out which books and authors are the better ones on the same sex debate.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you though, you really should read "the pink agenda" as part of you research.
cheers mate!
II'm currently trying to sort through the chaff. Most of the "debate" seems to be people miles away yelling at each other. I might just start grabbing books and see where it all leads.
DeleteThe ideas of "abuse" have been mentioned before by Gay Christians, and I'm wondering if there is some merit to these comments.
Will look into "The Pink Agenda." Thanks, mate!
