Chicago Megachurch Pastor: Ruth and Naomi Were in a Lesbian Sexual Relationship and Boaz Was a Sperm Donor

Meet Keith McQueen, a self-styled "bishop" who seems to think that his platform at Powerhouse Church is a stage for profound biblical illiteracy rather than for the preaching of the truth and the exhortation of obeying God’s word. If there were a trophy for most ridiculous theological claims, McQueen would be clearing space on his shelf.

In a shocking—but, at this point, not surprising—display of interpretative gymnastics, sitting on the stage with his homosexual lover he claims to be "married" to, McQueen has somehow managed to read the Book of Ruth and come away convinced that Ruth and Naomi were in a same-sex, lesbian relationship.

Does that sound stupid?

That’s because it is. And no, it doesn't make any sense to the rest of us either.

Picture this: A "pastor" trying to convince his audience that biblical marriages aren't what we've all been traditionally taught. And how does he attempt to do this? By suggesting that Ruth and Naomi—a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who share a beautiful story of loyalty and faith—were secretly lovers.
