It was only 600 years ago that we knew the earth was the center of the universe and the sun rotated around it. It was only 500 years ago that we knew that it was impossible to reach the east by sailing west. It was only 300 years ago that we knew that kings ruled by the divine providence of God almighty. It was only 150 years ago that we knew that slavery was an institution ordained by God for the good of all, including those enslaved. It was only 50 years ago that we knew that God intended the races to be separated. It was only 40 years ago, at least in my church, that we knew that people who had been divorced could never be remarried. It was only 30 years ago that we knew, at least in my church, that leadership in the church was intended by God only for men. It was only 20 years ago that a major American religious leader pronounced his knowledge that God does not hear the prayer of a Jew. It was only yesterday that we were taught the knowledge that material success is a sign of God’s favor and blessing. It was only yesterday that we knew that America was especially beloved by God. It was only yesterday that we knew that people who are constitutionally oriented to the same sex instead of the opposite sex were abominations in the sight of God, a threat to marriage as the foundation of civilization, and unworthy of being protected by basic civil rights.

What Sauls' fails to consider here is that in this litany of former beliefs, only ONE IS FOUND IN SCRIPTURE. Homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of God, everything else was something mankind once believed and later disavowed.
