LIKE YOU, I TAKE THE BIBLE SERIOUSLY
Many good people build their case against homosexuality almost entirely on the Bible. I want to show as best I can that we gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Christians take the Bible seriously, too. For example, I learned Hebrew and Greek to better understand the original words of the Biblical texts. I studied the life and times of the Biblical authors to help me know what they were saying in their day so that I could better apply it to my own.
I earned a master's and doctoral degrees at a conservative Biblical seminary to better equip myself to "rightly divide the word of truth." I've spent more than fifty years reading, studying, memorizing, preaching and teaching from the sacred texts. All I ask is that you consider what my research has taught me about those passages used by some people to condemn God's gay and lesbian children. Then decide for yourself.
"...rightly dividing the word of truth." II Tim. 2:15
