Shellfish, Slavery and Same-sex Marriage: How Not to Read the Bible

Shellfish, Slavery and Same-sex Marriage:How Not to Read the Bible - This article comes from an Australian church leader. “While Australians wrestle with the implications of redefining marriage to include a union of two persons of the same sex, it would be a much more enlightened debate if proponents of this novel redefinition did not misuse the Bible in mounting their arguments. It would be more honest to declare their disagreement with biblical teaching, rather than pretend by shallow, ill-informed exegesis that they are following the Bible's primary theme of love. Here again, Jesus's words are instructive: "If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15).”


The comments section, below the article, will give you a good exposure to the non-biblical worldview and the way the arguments are typically drawn.
