Mobilemitter;Well, no, not really. Ya see, Jesus understood the meaning behind the text, the true "spirit" of the law. Keyes did not miss it. The grace of marriage extends to the two (that being the man and the woman) who will become one.
What are you talking about?
Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus debate the "experts on the law" about whether the meaning of marriage included homosexuality.
That was completely out of the question.
What Jesus debated the experts on the law, the Scribes and Pharisees on, was NOT their allowing unlawful marriages or sexual conduct, but rather their hypocritical sefl-righteous application of the law.
Where does it sound like that?
Jesus reprimanded the "experts on the Law" for their self-righteous, judgmental application of the law which was completely lacking in compassion and mercy.
If there is ANY comparison at all, Keyes would be on the wrong side of the exchange.
Keyes was explaining to Singorile, much like Jesus had to explain to the "experts" what they should have already known. They had the text, they read the text, they should have known what the text meant, however, having no real knowledge of God and therefore no "spiritual" discernment, they both misunderstood and misapplied scripture. Keyes spent a little time in Genesis to try and help Signorile get understanding of what should be common knowledge.

My reference to the text in Genesis was just in keeping with the context with which Keyes tried, valianty, to explain the scripture upon which the concept of marriage is introduced. It was not to imply that the confrontation between Jesus and the experts of the law took place in Genesis or that they in fact discussed matters detailed in Genesis. It just sounds like Keyes is doing a great job of trying to share truth with those who for whatever reason are struggling with it. Sorta like Jesus did with all those struggling experts.....
