“Rejoice always.” Some people may say, “I wish I could!” Others may think, “How cruel to say such a thing. My life is just so difficult!” Still others may say, “We don’t think it is humanly possible to be always … Continue reading

235. What insight does Romans 1 have to the same sex marriage debate? Does it favour a “Yes” or “No” vote?
In the last few articles I have looked at an article that appeared recently on an ABC website. The writer was attempting to show that the Bible did not argue against same sex marriage. She did correctly emphasise that when … Continue reading

233. What relevance do Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 have to changing the definition of marriage in Australia? Should I vote “Yes” or “No” to same sex ‘marriage’?

232. Why does our national broadcaster appear to support only the “Yes” side of the same-sex vote? (The story of Sodom.)
An article [by an Australian theologian] published on the ABC website [NOTE 1] recently, made a number of claims about same-sex marriage. Included in the presentation were some statements which a number of like-minded scholars affirm as well. But are … Continue reading
