For Tracie and Kristi (and whoever else is interested)

"Most of us no longer heed Leviticus on haircuts or blood sacrifices; our modern understanding of the world has surpassed its prescriptions. Why would we regard its condemnation of homosexuality with more seriousness than we regard its advice, which is far lengthier, on the best price to pay for a slave?" -Lisa Miller NEWSWEEK Published Dec 6, 2008

I did not do the research on this and unless I do, I will take it for what it is. It is an interesting news article on the Bible and Gay Marriage. For the three of us, we have already discussed it in length and none of our views are changing, I don't expect this to change them. But, it is a "third party" analysis of the topic that we argued. I am not posting this to get into another lengthy discussion. I am posting it because it covers a very relevant subject and I would like to hear if any of my other readers have a thought on this subject. If you readers want to know what Kristi (original post), Tracie (rebuttal), and I think about it follow the links. We all have our reasons for believing how we do and none of our discussions with each other changed that. In some ways they helped reinforce and clarify our individual ideals but did not sway us. I expect this article to do the same thing. For those of you that believe this should be legal it is ammunition. For those of you who believe it is immoral, it will show you where to direct your arguments against. Either way, it is interesting to me, the interpretive value of information. If we all used the same version of the Bible as our only reference, we would all interpret it differently.


I will not participate in the discussion because I have said what I had to say, and argued what I believe and why I believe it with Kristi and Tracie. My view have not changed in light of this article. I doubt yours will either. Enjoy it, or at least wrap your mind around it and, if you would like, formulate your response.
