People who read the Bible for the sake of “teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” do not read it for proof-texts; they seek to understand the context and the nuances within it. Those who read it for proof-texts do so as an alternative to discipleship. Romans 1 exhibits the results of “worshiping creation instead of the Creator.” It is not saying “Thou shalt not” to say something is “against nature.” Same-gender sex does give Paul the willies, but he uses it as the evidence of a different underlying problem which is different than saying “Thou shalt not” do it.
