It's important to remember that the Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted in various ways throughout history

Leviticus also mentions other rules, such as not wearing clothing made of two different fabrics or not eating shellfish, which many people do not follow today. We must consider the historical context in which these texts were written and recognize that our understanding of morality and human rights has evolved over time. Should we not prioritize love, acceptance, and equality for all, regardless of their sexual orientation? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how we can reconcile religious beliefs with the need for equal rights for all individuals, including those in same-sex relationships.

There is a difference between "don't eat shellfish" and "don't have sex with another man." One was a rule meant to distinguish Israel from other cultures. The other is a rule that still applies today. Marriage is specifically between a man and a woman. Also, love is important, yes, but the type of love that is biblical is wanting what is best for others, and not just accepting everyone. Also, saying a man cannot marry another man is equality. After all, we are not letting straight people marry the same sex. The rule applies for everyone.

Expert Gay Marriage

If the straight people are marrying for sex and its consensual and both partners are happy there's no problem with that.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
