Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.

Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.

Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.

Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).

If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.
