STATEMENT AGAINST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Statement: Shameless Acts, Not “Acts Committed Shamelessly”
Romans 1:27 states in clear terms that when men were involved sexually with other men those were “shameless acts” (aschemosyne). It does not say they “committed acts in a shameless, or excessive manner.” The latter is what is required to arrive at Dr. Brownson’s interpretation. Contrary to that, the acts themselves are shameless. This is a serious error as it is important in interpreting Scripture to pay close attention to adverbs as in “committing acts shamelessly” and nouns: “committing shameless acts.” The true meaning of the Bible can only by determined by listening carefully to such distinctly different words.
