I believe that this post exemplifies the dangers of Biblical literalism devoid of critical thinking and analysis. To paraphrase Rex, it's possible (and healthy) to take the Bible seriously without taking it literally. And no, God doesn't need me to speak for her either. God has already spoken through the life and teaching of Jesus who embodied radical love and radical inclusion, and God continues to speak through our lives as we nurture a congregation of radical love and radical inclusion.

What do you see wrong with adding monogamus and heterosexual to the marriage covenant... do you believe in HIS word? Though I can't speak ON his behalf, but I know that GOD doesn't care about Minority or Majority, there is HIS word and that's it. Count you disappointed… more like count YOU disappointing.
