Graham wrote, in part: "I am very much in agreement with both Burgy and
George where they
demonstrate uncommon love for gays and lesbians over against hardened
prejudices and proof -texting. But Burgy's comments on texts to explain
what Paul did or didn't mean is also a kind of proof-texting, I suggest.
Paul is not so ignorant as Burgy portrays him."
I do not mean to portray Paul as ignorant. But it is also not proper to
portray him as having as much knowledge of the issues as we in the 21st
century have.
My point is simply to observe that we do not know how much knowledge Paul
had of these things, and so it is improper to read his writings as if he
did have that knowledge.
