The topic of this year's symposium, the Lakeland Ledger reported, was "Sex, Love and Marriage in Scripture and Tradition." Two of the presentations, however, were less than traditional, and many would say, unscriptural. James L. Crenshaw, professor of Old Testament at Duke Divinity School, questioned Scripture's authority to govern matters of sexuality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bible is very clear on what is right sexually and any attempt to undermine the bible's authority on the subject requires arguing from a non-biblical stance. This is what these two so called experts are doing. A non-biblical stance is always taken from the world and is usually based on either ideas derived from other religions or from a humaniterian basis (as long as two people love each other, etc.) Whenever Christian believes moves away from what God expects, we run into trouble and a mess ensures. Stick to the bible and ask God for revelation on its meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
