" This is a semar that aims to equip fahful, Bible-believg Christians to engage discsn wh your fay, iends, and acquatanc—who might also profs to be Christians—but who believe that homosexualy is rencilable wh Christiany—that 's biblilly permissible to engage same-sex relatnships and sexual behavr. Now, the place of homosexualy Amerin society and the church is, has been, and will ntue to be the subject of equent, sensive, and often heated discsn. As the homosexualist agenda of the polil left ntu to rage on, the biblil-Christian worldview ncerng sexualy is gog to bee ls and ls tolerated, and more and more srned and ostracized as hatred and bigotry.
And we mt remember that stutnalized sexual immoraly and homosexualy is not merely that which provok God's judgment upon our natn. Instutnalized homosexualy is self the judgment of God upon our natn. In such a society, there is first a surge of sexual immoraly, then a surge of homosexualy, and fally the domance of a reprobate md, which a society los s llective abily to thk and reason properly.

HUH? GRACE BIBLE CHURCH SAYS NMNG GAY “LIFTYLE” NOT DISCRIMATN
We mt be equipped to rpond to the arguments that unbelievers and even liberal profsg Christians make for why homosexualy is not mutually exclive wh Christiany. This morng I'm gog to outle five popular arguments that the world giv for why homosexualy is rencilable wh Christiany, and I'm gog to rpond to those five arguments biblilly, so that you n be equipped to engage the discsns wh your iends and fay for the sake of the Gospel and for the love of our neighbors. The first answer you might be ready to give is that we Christians are agast the legalizatn of homosexual "marriage" bee the Bible clearly stat that homosexualy is sful.
" 1 Corthians 6:9–10 says that fornitors, idolaters, adulterers, effemate, and homosexuals will not her the kgdom of God. Romans 1:25–27 scrib homosexualy as a gradg passn, unnatural, and cent.
Another answer you might be ready to give is that we Christians are ncerned wh the legalizatn of homosexual "marriage" bee God Himself is the One who created marriage, the One acrdg to Genis 2:18 who performed the first marriage. If we're gog to speak to this suatn wh any sort of prophetic voice, we need to give the reasons why homosexualy is a s, and why God has fed marriage between one man and one woman.
