It would never happen in Coastal California. Inland California ( with certain exceptions) is still part of America. Those of us on the coast live under the domination of the lunatic fringe.
Two questions; does the Protestant Bible use to Book Of Leviticus? And if it does, isn't this issue spelled out there rather plainly?
Of course, both the King James and NEB did not expunge it!
Nor did they expunge the heavy admonition not to do so at the very end, either.
The argument I heard advanced (And I am not offering to argue, or anything) is that the Old Law was fulfilled. Fulfilled, maybe, but not deleted.
Leviticus is there and so is Romans.
In red coastal county San Diego, 8 parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego left for the Anglican Comm.
There are other parishes they could also leave.
“Those of us on the coast live under the domination of the lunatic fringe.”
You are INCORRECTLY extrapolating that the entire coast is lunatic, like San Francisco area.
Factually four of the six most southern California counties voted Republican in 2004.
San Diego, Orange, Ventura and San Luis Obispo.
Hmmmm...they all use the same Bible, yet get a very different answer on the nature of homosexual acts.
