14.
The Old and New Testaments both regarded slavery as normal and nowhere categorically condemns it. Part of that heritage was the use of female slaves, concubines and captives as sexual toys or breeding machines by their male owners, which Lev. 19:20f., 2 Sam. 5:13 and Num. 31:18 permitted--and as many American slave owners did some 130 years ago, citing these and numerous other Scripture passages as their justification.

The Problem of Authority
These cases are relevant to our attitude toward the authority of Scripture.
Clearly we regard certain things, especially in the Old Testament, as no longer binding. Other things we regard as binding, including legislation in the Old Testament that is not mentioned at all in the New. What is our principle of selection here?

For example, modern readers agree with the Bible in rejecting:
incest
rape
adultery
intercourse with animals.

But we disagree with the Bible on most other sexual mores. The Bible condemned
the following behaviors which we generally allow:
intercourse during menstruation
celibacy
endogamy
naming sexual organs
nudity (under certain conditions)
masturbation (Catholicism excepted)
birth control (Catholicism excepted).

And the Bible regarded semen and menstrual blood as unclean, which we do not.

Likewise, the Bible permitted behaviors that we today condemn:
prostitution
polygamy
levirate marriage
sex with slaves
concubinage
treatment of women as property
very early marriage (for the girl, age 11-13)

And while the Old Testament accepted divorce, Jesus forbade it.

Why then do we appeal to proof texts in Scripture in the case of homosexuality
alone, when we feel perfectly free to disagree with Scripture regarding
most other sexual issues?

Aiyah I know y'all are going to start a debate, what is important what isn't etc.

(Oh yah, Jessie, I wanted to post up that male domination thing but I forgot.)

Just read the link if you want to. It's super wordy.

And anyway, many people interpret the Bible in different ways. (E.g. Jt's Bible Study said Adam was a transsexual because God made Eve out of him)

We all strongly believe in what we've been taught, but how do we know if what we've been learning is really right? We'd obviously fight hard for what we think/believe is right, but how do we know which interpretations are really right? Only God knows right. ;)
