Nice. Any part of the Bible that interferes with complete freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want with whomever you want is 'alterable.'

I agree with him that priestly celibacy is alterable, though. That is a Church tradition and is not Scriptural.

Incorrect. Celibacy is a discipline, not a tradition, finding its origins in the Levitical Priesthood of Melchisedech and in the Catholic Priesthood with Jesus Christ. Quite Scriptural. Incidentally, Melchisedech is first mentioned in the Book of Genesis.

It's funny how all you self proclaimed Scripture scholars just don't know what you're talking about, isn't it.
