ABC promotes liberal theologian - Bible supports homosexual marriage

The ABC once again on the eve of the voting on the Marriage Act has interviewed and promoted the liberal views of Robyn Whitaker who states that the Bible and God support homosexuality.  Whitaker, lectures in biblical studies at  Trinity College  at the  University of Melbourne .  We understand why the ABC has selected such a person, but what is the basis of her claim regarding homosexuality?  Whitaker ORIGINALLY believed homosexuality was a sin.

It is not simply a matter of personal belief or citing official church doctrine. Australian scholars are among leaders in the field when it comes to sexualit...
