Ask Doug: The constant response to the Christian objection to homosexuality is that Christians “pick and choose” from the Levitical laws because Christians do not follow laws about “mixed cloth” or “menstrual purity.” What is your response to that accusation?

Where would sabbath keeping fall? It seems like it could be both a redemptive and creation mandated command. You have the pattern of one in six established in creation, but then the day of redemption marks the day we are to celebrate.
thank you so much for making these MP3!!
mp3 up!
So we know that Paul was clearly misogynist, and he had an issue with the “effeminate,” who would not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. (Arguably the “effeminate” are clearly born that way; we’ve all seen the feminine kid cruelly teased and tormented without even understanding why — and we know how much good fathers do by trying to make them be masculine.) He was the same one who told women not to be silent in church. However they don’t have a problem with female preachers any more. Christians point to the Bible in the case of homosexuality because they have their own issues with it, just as many Christians pointed to the bible to justify racial segregation. Hypocritical mumbo-jumbo.
Bob, so you have an issue with the Apostle Paul?
