[The Columbus Dispatch] 20 June 2007--Homosexuality is wrong. The Bible says so. Leviticus 18:22.
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination.
But wait. What about Galatians 3:28?
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Such is the riddle for organized religion: Can churches keep true to the faith while accepting sexually active gay men and women into their fold?
The issue of homosexuality and churches' stands on it is raging across the country. A report released yesterday by the United Methodist Church shows how divisive the debate can be.
Galatians 3:28 does not trump Leviticus 8:22. To make such an assertion not only ignores the context of Galatians 3:28 but also the author's intention.
