But I do find this stuff interesting, and more.
Check this out Punch.
This is one that I thought was no nonsense. You can make up your own mind. There are many other sources. I like this as it uses the NIV (New International Version) and the EIV (English International Version). Both are considered to be accurate translations of the dead Sea Scrolls...
What Does the Bible Say About Same-sex Marriage? |
I think what some people find odd is the convenient interpretations of the bible. they'll get all up in arms bout dem gays, but no one rails on divorce, shellfish (an abomination), or holds stuff like this as gospel:
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
so in some cases we've ignored or stopped following biblical tenets/laws (the global economy couldn't work if all loans were interest free, as another example), but then in other cases we've got to be super literal in our interpretation (which is a very modern invention).
