Art/Literary - Religion / Genesis & sexuality
English term or phrase: waterproof argument
Genesis 2:18–25 teaches that Eve was specifically made for Adam’s physical, mental and emotional needs. She was made from Adam’s rib and designed to be Adam’s helpmeet. [...] It may be a shock to realize this, but if Genesis 2 is not to be seen as historical and to be taken literally, then there is no ***waterproof argument*** against the liberal thinkers of the day who would even have us believe that there is such a thing as ‘Christian’ homosexuality.
