GETTING A WORD IN EDGEWAYS (Letter published in the Dom Post, April 30)


Could I get a word in edgeways please, in the Folau furore?
Rosemary McLeod (April 26) asserts that "members of his church still take as fact that homosexuality is sinful". If that's the case, they are mistaken. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that homosexuality is sinful. What it does say (for instance in Romans 1, 32) is that homosexual acts are sinful.
It’s not as if the Bible singles out homosexual acts. It also condemns fornication and adultery, in fact any sexual act outside marriage.
And I need hardly add that the Bible takes it for granted that marriage is only between a man and a woman.
