Martin’s attempts to “unclobber” these six passages fall short. He rehearses well-worn liberal interpretations of the six common passages from Scripture that are used in the homosexual debate.

What here is set down imperatively, by way of command is in the gospel indicatively expounded, “I will smite the shepheard, and the sheepe of the flocke shall bee scattered abroad” (Matt. 26:31).
