Re: Apostle Paul... a gay?
That article is one of the lamest things I've ever read.  He didn't provide a shred of actual evidence from scripture or history; only the idea that one should read Paul's writings with that possibility in mind. Huh? One could read David's writings with the same possibility in mind and probably come up with all kinds of verses that could be skewed around the presupposition.
Newsflash: His approach is called proof texting [eisegesis]. The lack of dependence on scriptural evidence in that article makes it a waste of time for me. I'd rather expend brain energy on worthwhile ideas. Teachers, preachers and writers who employ these tactics lose credibility trying to impose their own ideas and pet agendas onto the text.
This article reminds me of two things:
1. People who can make a dirty joke out of ANYTHING.
2. Avoid foolish and unlearned questions.

Nope! I'm all for exploring new ideas, but at least PRETEND that you're trying to dig up scriptural evidence.
