Newt on Gay Marriage

Newt definitely shouldn't be talking about marriage, or mistresses for that matter, or divorce. The Bible is silent on gay marriage and you just can't make an argument from silence, but it has plenty to say about marriage between a man and woman, the only marriage the Bible recognizes. It has enough to say on being a father and husband, that the Roman Catholic church should reexamine its annulment procedures (Newt was baptized a Lutheran, became a Baptist, and is now a Roman Catholic).
The National Organization for Marriage, which previously criticized Gingrich for his two divorces and extra-marital affairs, said the former Speaker of the House signed its anti-gay-marriage pledge Thursday.

In the pledge, candidates promise to pursue a constitutional amendment forbidding same-sex marriage and to create a presidential commission to investigate "reports of Americans who have been harassed or threatened" for opposing same-sex marriage.
Gingrich Signs Anti-Gay Marriage Pledge He may sincerely believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, but so far, there's not much evidence.

Recent scholarship into the Biblical book of Romans is revealing that even the Apostle Paul was more gay friendly than previously thought. Check out www.PaulOnHomosexuality.com . Make sure to read the documents (especially the one written by a Princeton trained Classical Greek scholar).

"Recent scholarship" always supports the culture of the era, no matter when that is. You can fall for that, but I don't.
