In reply to the discussion: Rubio warns: Christianity could be labeled 'hate speech' [View all]trotsky
(49,533 posts)31. Actually there's a few references in the NT.
Paul's usual tripe, but also sometimes referenced is how Jesus referred to marriage in Matthew 19:3 -
He answered, Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning made them male and female," and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
I think it's important we acknowledge the bad stuff throughout the bible rather than just say someone isn't reading it correctly.
