Now not personally being a Gothic Arianist, I understood that Jesus wasn't so much the son of God as being a manifestation of the tripartite God, or an avatar if you prefer. And therefore, actually being God, that Jesus had created the scriptures and that as such, he just didn't have the kind of standoffish view outlined in the quote.<br /><br />And being God, of course he would hold his own creation in high esteem, wouldn't he ? Or so I would have thought.<br /><br />But the best thing about all this hermeneutic exegesis, I reckon, is that once gay marriage is written into the law, we'll be able to resolve and refudiate any doubts we may have by reading the legal scriptures themselves. If we read it in the laws, then there's no possible doubt that gay marriage is ok then, is there. And we've followed the approved Anglican way to establish that.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
