Hope College Scholar finds Biblical justification for Gay Marriage

[greenman3610]

In the book, Myers and coauthor Letha Dawson Scanzoni, take on Dobson in a step-by-step analysis of science, history and the Bible. They argue that attitudes toward gay people are changing, especially among those under age 30.

"The definition of marriage already has changed many times over the years," Myers said. "Back in Old Testament times, how many concubines and spouses did some of the men have? So, we've changed from polygamy to monogamy. We've changed from arranged marriages to marriages based on romantic choice. ... We've changed from the church rejecting people of divorce, to welcoming these people.

"And, people who first encountered interracial marriages said many of the same things we're now hearing about gay marriage."
