LEARNG TO SAY ‘GOD IS LOVE’ WHEN YOU’RE GAY

A mon argument for the acceptance of homosexualy and same-sex marriage is that, if God is love, He would not nmn the love of others.

The world and maybe even our own sensivi might say that allowg others to live a homosexual relatnship is to see to their well-beg. Romans 1:26 says homosexualy is disgraceful and dishonorg. First Corthians 6:18 says that sexual immoraly, cludg homosexualy, is a s agast one’s own body.

If homosexualy rults a dishonorg, harmful separatn om God’s blsg, then the lovg thg to do is to stay away om . That beg said, those wh homosexual attractns are sperate need of love. Even if they agree wh the Bible that homosexualy is a s and rolve not to seek fulfillment of their sexual sir, they mt still fd love other relatnships—the self-sacrificg love of agape and the iendly pannship of phileo.

The need for love is no different for sgle heterosexuals than is for those wh homosexual attractn. If God is love, why do He nmn homosexualy?

Pope Francis was recently asked about his views on homosexualy.

10 REASONS GOD LOV GAY CHRISTIANS

Persons wh homosexual tennci are children of God.

Crimalisg people wh homosexual tennci is an jtice. This isn’t the first time Pope Francis has shown himself to be a progrsive lear when to, among other thgs, gay Catholics. As a biblil scholar, I would suggt that church lears who e their cultur and theology to exclu homosexuals don’t read Scripture refully.

Those who would exclu homosexuals om God’s kgdom choose to ignore J, turng stead to the Old Ttament – most particularly to Genis 19, the stctn of the ci of Sodom and Gomorrah. Their terpretatn of the story is that is about homosexualy.
