quote:What you fail to realize is that the doctrines do not state that each Christian is allowed to interpret the Bible however they want to, as if God didn't have a meaning in what He gave us in the Scriptures. You make it seem like Protestants support a Wild West mentality on Bible interpretation, but that's simply not true. There is a traditional method of biblical hermeneutics that are derived from the Scriptures that help us understand exactly what God intends.
It's time we addressed this Perspicuity of Scripture and Bible Alone doctrine in the light of this homosexual debate.
The homosexual debate isn't even an attack on perspicuity or sola scriptura, at least not as you want it to be. In fact, this particular issue proves the point for the clarity of Scripture and the authority of Scripture.
The "woke" progressives who claim Christianity do not use biblical hermeneutics to interpret Scripture, and ultimately, they are not governed by the authority of Scripture at all. Just like Rome, the progressives use their traditions to interpret the Bible rather than the other way around.
It's precisely because the progressives reject the authority of the Scriptures and the clarity of them that they try to push their case.

Perspicuity of Scripture Doctrine regarding Bible passages on Salvation is dis-proven with this very incident. The Pro Gay Methodists very clearly stand on the Perspicuity Doctrine in their declaration that the No Gay Methodists are UN-biblical. Here is the article:

" Thus, many of those now leaving the denomination, purportedly on biblical grounds, have apparently not read all of the Bible, or at least have not read some parts of it carefully, faithfully and fully, especially Galatians 3:28 and similar passages within the full and fully liberating arc of biblical theology.
