Once, black people, women and homosexuals were viewed the same way by the leading theologians of the times: They were all cursed by God in Scripture, inferior in moral character and willfully sinful and deserving punishment. Eventually, most churches found a biblical basis for changing their stance on race and gender.
Jesus knew the Hebrew Scriptures, and he departed from them. He was not faithful to the Scripture of that time, and today the Bible teaches us the book is not the final authority. ... The spirit is moving; Scripture is not the only measure.
Too many people sink into vitriol, wielding words of faith as weapons. People of all ages are really tired of all this religious fighting. Most people just want to get on with thinking about Jesus.
