Ron Goetz

I sometimes get accused of reading the Bible on homosexuality through the eyes of someone who wants to justify his own homosexuality, Ron Goetz who started a blog called Bible-Thumping Liberal is accused of the same because he has a gay son. The thing with that, truthfully, is that I don't think I would have searched the Scriptures so intensely if I wasn't gay and Ron will tell you the same if his own child didn't come out to him, unlike a Bruce L. Gerig who did his own search because the condemnation of two loving homosexuals just didn't sit well in his spirit. Don't fault us because we didn't just accept what was told to us from a pulpit on an issue that would turn out to be so close to us, we had no choice but to look ourselves because the stakes were too high, my own soul and the soul of Ron's son.

Ron and I had a disagreement on the place the Apostle Paul has in our lives as Christians and like with another brother in Christ whom I loved deeply, but wouldn't sever himself from legalism of the Old Testament, the fellowship will be no more.
