My god this "scholar" is an incompetent embarrassment.

I was about to go into a rant about how this guy should just give up Christianity as a whole I think it should also be pointed out that what is in the Bible has come about from thousands of years of authorships and interpretation.  Sure, an argument can be made that the Earth is literally 6,000 years old, Noah really did get two of every animal in the ark, Biggie and Tupac are partying with Elvis and Buddy Holly in Madagascar, but that's missing the point.  A lot of what is seen in the Bible is interpretations from the writing styles of the Hebrew and Greek authors.  The footnotes of many Bibles themselves confirm this.
I guess what I'm saying is that acting like every word of the Bible is a word that came directly from God is disingenuous (although frankly, I don't take the idea of him seriously now days).  God doesn't just ZAP! BOOM! Bibles into existence folks, what you're reading is the texts of ancient men from ancient cultures.

On the issue of gays anybody could make any type of argument based on what is said in the Bible.  Frankly, it's like people who make arguments for abortion based off of biblical passages.  You can take any of THE MILLIONS (and millions) of the Bible's Passages and come out with a different interpretation.

Does this mean the scholar is right?  I don't think so.  Because his argument is one that is LATHERED IN INCOMPETENCE.  And Jmfcst is clearly not as dumb as mud, given his thorough background and understanding of the Bible that seems to elipse this "scholar".
