- The word “homosexual” did not even exist in the biblical languages, therefore gay bashing translations are bad translations.
- Paul’s diatribe in Romans, often used to attack LGBT persons, actually ends with the conclusion that none of us has a right to judge others. (Romans 2:1)
- You have a right to your opinion, but it is not longer just your opinion if you impose it on others by making it a law.
- Marriage is a civil bond which means it’s a civil right.
- If churches do not defend universal human rights for all people they will be remembered with the same disgust as churches that defended slavery and opposed scientific truths in their own day.
- To condemn homosexuality, you must use parts of the Bible you don’t yourself obey.
- Jesus’ commandment against judging others should include everyone who claims to follow him.
- If the physical act of sex has become the only needle to your moral compass, you are the one who is lost.
