What does the Bible actually say about gay marriage?
This is a good and concise read from the Huffington Post about gay marriage and the Bible has to say about not only that but same sex relationships in general.
While not entirely definitive it is good article.
These are things I found out for myself years ago. Unfortunately, most if not all conservative theologians have decided to ignore these facts. Yes, the things presented in this article are facts, not speculation.
The Bible is a great document, one that leads my life and influences who I am. But it is not without flaws. It is a document written by men, in an ancient society. With all of the cultural and political influences you might expect from that time.
It was not a good time to live in for a whole lot of people. And their writings showed that.
Despite that, the Bible is and will forever be inspirational and the focus of my faith and the faith of over a billion people on this planet.
But that doesn't mean we cannot see it in light and interpret bronze age thinking into modern day thinking.
