Deuteronomy 22:28-29Common English Bible (CEB)

(28) If a man meets up with a young woman who is a virgin and not engaged, grabs her and has

sex with her, and they are caught in the act, (29) the man who had sex with her must give fifty silver shekels to the young woman’s father. She will also become his wife because he has humiliated her.

He is never allowed to divorce her.

“We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he

has not seen.” – 1 John 4:19-20.Common English Bible

“In many disciplines, the scripturally based orientations prevalent among conservative Christians may give them a considerable

disadvantage in coursework because it lowers the complexity of thought” (Hunsberger).

Existential Content Only? - 1994'

I asked him why he chose to respect that part of the biblical text but not other parts.

I mentioned that the verse he was referring to was Leviticus 18:22.

I then pointed out that in the very same book, one chapter later Leviticus 19:19 god forbids wearing any clothing of mixed fabrics, or at least mixed of linen and wool. James 2:10 "For whoever keeps

the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."

I explained my point that according to scripture it is just as bad to wear clothes of mixed fabric as it

is to be homosexual.
