A lot of people don't understand the "totality of Scripture" so they do pick and choose. That may not be what's going on in this thread but, as always, the things being typed here are said everyday off of the internet.

I personally know several people who were openly gay or lesbian when they were collegiate in their respective fraternities or sororities. They were true to themselves and that is all their brothers and sisters expected of them. Even though some may not condone homosexual behavior, they were never rude nor disrespectful toward their brothers or sisters.

Yeah, I'll agree that too mqny people do pick and choose, on and off the internet every day. And a lot of others think that the theologians and others who have actually studied all of these things must have been picking and choosing.

Education is a wonderful thing.

That's because they do not know what it means to be a theologian and to have studied religious text.

It's funny because my family member and friends who are theologians and in divinity school do not debate interpretations of text or discuss homosexuality according to the Bible. We discuss historical context and the connection and disconnection between texts for every religion. Kind of like social scientists do when gender, sexual orientation, and other classifications are traced through historical events and text from all religions.
