Father James Martin discourages Christians from following the Epistles of St. Paul in all things

For Jesuit and Vatican advisor James Martin there seems to be only one subject: everything to do with the LGTBI lobby. That is why in his new guide he warns that Christians do not have to do everything that is commanded in the Bible, especially in the epistles of St. Paul.

Martin goes so far as to claim that Christians "should not do everything" the Bible "commands" in his new "Disclosure Guide to the Bible and Homosexuality".

He attempts to show how an explicit defence of homosexual behaviour can be reconciled with Christianity in his "guide", citing biblical scholars who supposedly help interpret biblical passages on homosexuality. However, Martin's and the scholars' advice boils down to this: Christians can ignore biblical prohibitions on homosexual behaviour.

Martin laments that such biblical verses "are used against LGBTQ people over and over again," and goes on to warn that "one response" to these verses "is to see them in their historical context and remember that even devout Christians should not do everything [the] Old Testament commands. The same for the Epistles in the New Testament."

His selective rejection of New Testament Scripture passages is at odds with the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), according to which the authors of Scripture are inspired by the Holy Spirit, and therefore, "we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for our salvation, wished to see entrusted to the Holy Scriptures."

Of course, it must not be easy to reinterpret St. Paul in passages like this: "Therefore God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural sexual intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way the men also, leaving natural sexual intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error".
