Scriptures Out of Context

Sometimes it's interesting to take scriptures a little out of context and look at what they say.  These scriptures were generally written for a straight audience, and when we add the gay context, based on what the church teaches, it changes.

1Cor 7:8-9
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Note: the Greek word translated as "burn" implies burning with passion.

The gay context:  it is better to marry than to burn, unless you're gay, in that case it's better to burn.

Doc&Cov 49:15
15 And again, verily I say unto you, that whoso forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto man.

The gay context:  but whoso forbiddeth gay guys to marry could still be ordained of God.

Genesis 6:2
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

The gay context:  But God's gay sons were not allowed to marry who they chose.  They were told to be celibate.

1Tim 4:1-3
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

The gay context:  But forbidding gay people to marry is okay and isn't hypocrisy at all. 

Remember that these passages were not written with gay folks in mind, and so imposing this context on them isn't really fair.  But it's an interesting thought experiment.  We have to be careful to keep scriptures in context if we want to understand them.  Can you think of any more scriptures that when applying a gay context, become a little absurd?
