Don’t read this one from Newsweek unless you have a strong stomach. “Opponents of gay marriage often cite Scripture. But what the Bible teaches about love argues for the other side” fantasizes Lisa Miller. She continues:

The battle over gay marriage has been waged for more than a decade, but within the last six months—since California legalized gay marriage and then, with a ballot initiative in November, amended its Constitution to prohibit it—the debate has grown into a full-scale war, with religious-rhetoric slinging to match. Not since 1860, when the country’s pulpits were full of preachers pronouncing on slavery, pro and con, has one of our basic social (and economic) institutions been so subject to biblical scrutiny. But whereas in the Civil War the traditionalists had their James Henley Thornwell—and the advocates for change, their Henry Ward Beecher—this time the sides are unevenly matched. All the religious rhetoric, it seems, has been on the side of the gay-marriage opponents, who use Scripture as the foundation for their objections.

Well, as you’ll see in Phyllis Tickle and the Emerging Church: It’s Not If Sola Scriptura Ends But When and Todd Friel: A Matter of Time Before Rob Bell Says Publicly Practicing Homosexuality is Ok for Christians thanks to the Emergent rebellion against Sola Scriptura this is changing at warp speed.
