Hodges. 8221; moment to make the unprepared Christian look stupid. Under the right circumstances, these claims can make the Christian feel like he’s the bad guy, or even plant seeds of doubt – not doubt that same-sex marriage is condemned by the Bible, but doubt that the Bible is divinely inspired or, if possible, serious doubts about their faith.
