What I also want to be on the watch for is to look and see if it more often happens that experience trumps Scripture. What we will disagree with starkly will be our interpretations and as we go through, I wonder how much of this high view Vines has will be consistently upheld. In this, Vines and I are quite likely to agree as I too hold a high view.
While some parts of the Bible address cultural norms that do not directly apply to modern societies, all of Scripture is “useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, NRSV) That means I believe all of Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative for my life. Like most theologically conservative Christians, I hold what is often called a “high view” of the Bible. While many times there are those who dismiss the Bible, Vines does do us a favor right at the start by stating where he comes from. His book is an autobiographical look at his life and how he reached his conclusion as well as a look at Scriptural texts that he thinks are relevant to the case. Matthew Vines has become somewhat of a celebrity in the church for being outspoken about being a homosexual and for making the case that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. What do I think of Matthew Vines’s book published by Convergent Books? Let’s Plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
