Colossians

I'll be finishing up my series through Paul's letter to the Colossians tonight. I'm finally making a bit of progress in teaching through Paul's letters (Galatians, Colossians, Philemon completed).

I realize this is late, but I was looking through the homosexuality notes. You note the historicity of Genesis in contrast to homosexuality. I surely agree that Genesis is the key biblical witness to heterosexuality as God's intention. I am not sure about how the historicity of Genesis is essential. Mind giving me your thoughts?

You may be right AP. Perhaps it is more accurate to say the testimony of Genesis in general is important.

Of course, I still disagree with you on the nature of Genesis 1-11 :)

Yeah, we can disagree. Thanks for clarifying. I think we're on the same page. Seems to me that taking Genesis as 'Scripture' commits one to submitting to it--or at least following hte tradition which it starts. Interestingly, of the things that the Bible contains conflicting voices on, homosexuality is not one of them. It maintains a consistent the whole way through.
