The Bible and gays Conservative ... (Oct 17 2003 15:52 GMT) - The Bible and gays Conservative Christians, including the Anglicans who now fight against a modernisation of their church, typically make vague references to "the Bible" to avoid tackling the ethical issues related to homosexuality. However, as Stephen Bates points out, it is not altogether clear what the pet Bible texts really mean, and surely not what ethical implications it should have for modern life. And then there is the question of what rules to select, and what rules to discard. It has been rightly pointed out in the current argument that homosexuality is not the only human practice which is condemned and that others the Biblical writers thought were wicked have now been accepted. This leaves a question mark over what it is about homosexuality that is unchangeably bad when practices such as divorce, lending money, eating shellfish, wearing a mixture of fabrics, cross-breeding livestock and sowing mixed seed in fields have long since become acceptable and tolerated. |
