The Bible vers aren't about nmng homosexuals, gays, lbians, or transgenr people. Rather, read God's lovg warng and grace for those who have strayed om His will for sex * homosexuality matthew 5 *
I have often seen this passage ed to argue that “same-sex attractn” or a “homosexual orientatn” or somethg siar is a s.
For someone who tak this kd of approach to heterosexual attractn, the passage provis no reason to take homosexual attractn any differently. It’s th not a reason to see homosexual attractn self as a form of s (though like heterosexual attractn, n lead to sful sexual activy or lt the heart). Specifilly, most folks makg the argument make a huge al about homosexual sire, and see the acceptance of as temptatn rather than s as a crisis.
If viewg homosexual attractn as merely a temptatn is a crisis, why is the same view of adultero heterosexual attractn not an even larger crisis? As I mentned above, this passage is often ed to argue that homosexual attractn is a s, bee is allegedly the kd of s of the heart that J mentns here. Specifilly, they only make a big al about how homosexual attractn is a s, spe ocsnally mentng adultero heterosexual sire as also sful.
