Does the Bible Support Same Sex Marriage, part 2, continues our discussion from the last episode. In this episode, I address the top 5 arguements (that my Patreon suppporters voted on) agianst the traditional view of marriage, which include: 1) Is this simply a secondary "agree to disagree" issue? 2) does the ethical trajectory regarding women and slavery suggest that same-sex sexual relationships are on the same trajectory toward acceptance? 3) did consenual same sex sexual relationships even exist in biblical times? 4) Love is love; why can't gay people experience love? 5) isn't the traditional view of marriage harmful toward LGB poeple?
