Notably, Paul also never talked about what we’re discussing when we have conversations about homosexuality today. Paul only ever discussed predatory, abusive homosexual conduct because that’s all there was an accepted concept/framework for in his culture.

Some theologian’s and religious scholars actually think that it wasn’t written by Paul, but it was Timothée, who was trying to get in the good graces of religious conservatives

So grateful to have grown up in a church that preached “love thy neighbor” pretty much above everything else. My church was performing ceremonies for gay couples “civil unions” (it was exactly the same as the weddings) before it was officially legal, and I’m so thankful there are churches out there that practice this way.

People tend to emphasize issues of the time. In 30 AD, everyone knew homosexuality was a sin, Jesus didn’t need to waste any time on it. What they didn’t know (or needed a wake up call) was about greed. The same rings true today. Homosexuality is the hot topic. Everyone today (expect your prosperity gospel wackos) knows that greed is a sin
