Dr. Kirk (Fuller Seminary) didn't contest much of what I said about Jesus and Scripture. He just thinks Jesus (along with all the rest of Scripture) was wrong in insisting on a male-female foundation for sexual ethics, though that is not Jesus' fault because he was captive to his culture on this issue and lacked adequate information. So that idea that Jesus had, that the duality of number in a sexual union is predicated on the God-ordained duality of the sexes, is rendered irrelevant for Kirk apparently.
