Lol. That is a good point. I don't care about what Baptists or Calvinists like Sproul think about Leviticus. The only time I'm concerned is when they try to use their faulty theology to persecute people.
That said, I have seen Catholic apologists try to do the same thing, but I disagree with them and think they need to stop their cozying up to the Evangelical right. It's shameful and the Catholic laity has largely rejected it. Catholics are known to be the most progressive denomination in general in America when it comes to this subject as evidenced by the fact that Catholics support LGBT rights in higher numbers than Americans in general, but many members of the hierarchy are missing the point and our conservative branch is acting like heartless scoundrels. They need to remind themselves of the Corporal and Spiritual Acts of Mercy. However, there are LGBT-accepting members of the clergy and religious orders. So the tide is starting to change.
Way I see it, Baptist have just as much authority about speaking about the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ as Rush Limbaugh as about speaking about the principles and teachings of Karl Marx.
