“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
Romans 1:26-27 (NIV)
Fundamentalists insist that this is a condemnation of homosexuality. Maybe it is. But if you keep reading, you get to this…
“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”
Ephesians 6:5 (NIV)
Take this literally? Believe it is the inerrant word of God? I don’t think so. This looks like the errant word of human beings to me.
