I mean, if Jesus didn't want us to drop pianos on people's heads, then he would have said specifically in the Sermon on the Mount, and also, by the way, don't drop pianos on people's heads.

That's the logic.

Meanwhile, the Bible does explicitly forbid murder, actually, which covers abortion.

And it explicitly states that unborn children are humans created in the womb by God.

Not to mention the fact that Jesus Christ himself began his life on earth as an unborn child in the womb.

So abortion is not only incompatible with the Bible, but it is in many ways the most incompatible thing you could possibly imagine.

Just pick up the Bible and read it sometime.

Psalm 139 states that God knitted me together in my mother's womb.

Luke states that when Mary arrives, Elizabeth's unborn child, quote, leaped in my womb for joy.

And I could go on.

So Tallarico uses the same argument, of course, to justify his support for same-sex marriage.

He says that the Bible doesn't talk about same-sex marriage and therefore it's permissible.

As Robert Gagnon at the Wesley Biblical Seminary has pointed out in response to Tallarico in a lengthy tweet,

This is a very superficial, at best, and idiotic way to read the scripture.

Quote, "...the reason why Jesus and biblical writers didn't talk about quote-unquote gay marriage was the same reason why they didn't talk about marriage with your mother or sibling or child.

Any sexual behavior of the sort, whether in a one-time act or an attempt at a committed relationship, was prohibited as an extreme sexual sin abhorrent and detestable to God."

Jesus thought that a male-female prerequisite for marriage was so important that he used it as the foundation for rejecting any sexual bond involving more than two persons, whether concurrent or serial.

According to Jesus, the two-ness of the sexes, the sexual binary, God's intentional design of two and only two sexual counterparts, is the basis for limiting the number of persons in a marriage to two.

That's Jesus' moral logic behind his citation of male and female, he made them.

Now, what heretics do in every case is disregard sex.
