Episode notes
Shallow Use Of Scripture
- James Tallarico's biblical arguments were shallow and relied on strawmen according to Dr. Joseph Goudel.
- Goudel highlights Tallarico quoted only one Old Testament verse and ignored broader scriptural context.
Leviticus Speaks Clearly On Sex
- Leviticus 18 and 20 explicitly connect male-male intercourse to sexual relations and label it an abomination.
- Goudel argues Tallarico omitted Leviticus 20 which makes the sexual meaning clear.
Ceremonial vs. Moral Law
- Distinction exists between ceremonial laws (passed) and moral laws (enduring) in Christian theology.
- Goudel says sexual prohibitions belong to God's moral law and remain binding.
