In this episode I give some preliminary thoughts on the question of homosexuality and the Bible, and then respond to an article by Harvard Hebraist, Dr. Idan Dershowitz dealing with Leviticus 18, which he argues may have originally condoned, rather than condemned, homosexual behavior.

In this special episode, friend of the show Aaron Brake, presents Part 1 in a series dealing with abortion and the right to life. For those who know me, you know that this is an issue that I am very passionate about but also passionate about presenting a cogent, rational, scientific case for the anti-abortion/pro-life position. Aaron does a truly excellent drop in this series in presenting a robust case for the right to life of the fetus.

A common criticism of Christians is that we "cherry pick" from the Bible. We dont eat shellfish and we shave our sideburns, but we believe homosexual behavior is a sin and affirm the 10 commandments. Are we cherry picking or is something more theological going on?

In this episode I respond to this video by Brian at queertheology.com which claims that Jesus is polyamorous. While plenty of people will respond to the heresy and blasphemy of the claim, I wanted to go through some of the reasons why his statements and attempts to do "queer theology" are... well... queer (sic. strange). He make numerous hermeneutical and theological problems in his attempt to give a religious cover for his sin.
