I liked reading this. It was thought provoking all the way around and raised some pretty interesting questions. All the authors who believe homosexuality is not a sin usually say the same thing. However, one thing popped into my head as I was looking over Chris's blog. He speaks about how Paul writes not to deviate from the natural order: man & woman/man & man. I have read this same thing many times, but have any of the authors thought about the meaning of "natural order."
Maybe natural order is supposed to be a man & woman. Maybe people are focusing too much on "what comes natural to me", and not what is actually natural. I don't believe that personally. I am naturally attracted to men and I won't deviate from that, but it is food for thought. Either way, Chris is right when he says Jesus didn't preach anything about the natural order: just love God and everybody. Sounds simple, but yet people still find ways to mess it up.
