[edit] NPOV Tag
Many of the “references” on this page a clearly written from one POV. (If we were to name it, we might call it conservative evangelicalism.)
One particular example is the statement that “Romans 1:24-32 tells the story of how homosexuals turned from God”. This verse seems to talk about a wide range of "unnatural" behaviors. Also, the word “homosexual” never appears as such.
All the incidences in this list need to be accompanied by a references to the commentary of a biblical authority. Further, the commentary should reflect a wider range of interpretations. Currently, it seems to predominately reflect a literalist reading of the bible which would view these bible verses referenced as “laws regulating” sexual intercourse. It should mention that there are branches of Christianity that believe these verses are open to interpretation. Fixer1234 05:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Romans 1
I looked at a reference page, and there was no mention of premarital sex; only the word fornication was used several times, and the true meaning of this word is debatable, not to overlook that it is the King James version being used. This is an important topic to be discussed and researched as it is the only true mention in the article of premarital sex in the New Testament. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rucha58 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Age of consent
Add something no age of consent in the bible? - Rebeccah was 3 years old when she married Isaac (check the math). And so on. PiCo 16:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
