[QUOTE=Cowboy89;3811859]All that there kinda ignores the whole truth spoken by that "woman pastor" below:
"Written more than 2,000 years ago at a significant historical and cultural distance, the Bible gathers together a diverse collection of ancient books, edited over time, not a coherent, divinely inspired set of instructions that can easily be applied."
Hence any interpretation of the said scriptures aren't the be all end all to the morality of life on Earth. Gay people just want the ability to be with the one they love and have that relationship be accepted by the broader community just like any straight couple. Why does something like that have to be denied because of Greek translations of ancient books?[/QUOTE]
Firstly, it is a coherant(even if she doesn't get it) divinely inspired(even if she doesn't believe it) set of instructions that can easily be applied(even if she refuses to apply them).
Secondly, acceptance is a little much to ask. How about tolerance and privacy?
Thirdly, Greek is the original language of those ancient books. It is not a translation.
