Read my post #22. It would have been nice if Wright had actually used & quoted scripture rather than his own pandering, nuanced opinion. What does the Bible say about homosexuality and then go to those passages? That's how he should have answered. He just made heterosexuality & homosexuality on the same equivalent plane by declaring that there should be sexual purity before marriage. Huh? So I guess the answer then is to allow for homosexual & lesbian marriage which would be the next logical step according to that line of reasoning.

You are correct, Reverend Wright should have used the abundant and applicable scripture, especially since he was dealing with Christians. I used the term ‘inventive’ because I was attempting to be polite. Perhaps too polite. Reverend Wright came to a good conclusion but took the wrong route to get there. Scripture is the only valid answer to those in the church who attempt to excuse the sin of homosexuality. It is what it is.
