What Does St. Paul Say — Introduction, Part 2.

Another point about this series, I'm not planning to discuss whether scripture is somehow binding on us or in what way, although that could make for a worthwhile discussion. I might even be persuaded the get into it at the end of this series on St. Paul. In his first comment on the earlier post, feetxxxl said,

"if you examine the words of scripture you will find that scripture never said homosexuality was a sin.

in fact according to paul's writings affirming, supporting and celebrating homosexuality in the same way we do heterosexuality is of the new covenant of christ."

This seems to imply that he thinks scripture in general, and St. Paul's writings in particular are relevant for us, so that will be my operating assumption. In other words the question is what it says, not whether we should pay any attention to it.

That said, and just for background, my view is that the Catholic Church expresses it well when it calls scripture the word of God in the words of men and says that scripture teaches without error those truths which God wished to put there for the sake of our salvation.
