My local paper carried a review of the movie "For the Bible Tells Me So". It is apparently a film about how Bible-believing families deal with a gay son or daughter. It looks like a heavily slanted hit piece.
One thing made me revolt:
"The movie also attempts to rebut the notion that homosexuality is specifically forbidden in the Bible, and to argue against 'biblical literalism'. The oft-cited passage in Leviticus, for instance, uses that 'abomination' term, which some scholars apparently define closer to 'nontraditional' than 'sinful'."
I'm not a Biblical scholar. But even if there is some possible doubt about Leviticus chapter 18, how could someone misinterpret Leviticus 20:13????
