“7 BIBLE QUOT SUPPORTG GAY RELATNSHIPS”

I hate to wre another blog post on any homosexual issu, but breaks my heart when I see thoands of people watchg and sharg ntent that furthers the misnceptn that God is alright wh homosexual relatnships. ” Bee of the obsceni, I will not lk to the vio, but I will give you the ndown of all “7 Bible Quot Supportg Gay Relatnships, ” acrdg to Arielle Srcella and Matthew V. The term, “sexual immoraly” is a translatn of the Greek word, “porneia” which acrdg to the Strong’s fn clus “adultery, fornitn, homosexualy, lbianism, terurse wh animals, etc.

Those of who teach that homosexualy is wrong are dog so bee we love people and we want them to be set ee om their bondage of s. ” And sce Srcella and V don’t believe homosexualy is nmned the ntext of a “lovg and mted relatnship, ” then they believe they n simply dismiss most ( not all) of God’s nmnatn of homosexualy. If people are born wh a sexual orientatn, then why wouldn’t there have been people the biblil tim who were exclively homosexual?

Although Levic 18:22 shows God nsired homosexualy an abomatn unr the Old Law, Christians are not unr the Old Law today. This is why I have no problem g Levic 18 to show that homosexualy was one of the abomatns of Sodom, but is not a passage I lean heavily upon to nvce people homosexualy is a s today.

Do not be ceived; neher fornitors, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemate, nor homosexuals, nor thiev, nor the veto, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers, will her the kgdom of God. Well, the terms translated “effemate” and “homosexual” this passage are om the Greek words, “malakos” and “arsenoko.

It breaks my heart to thk of someone watchg that vio and g away wh the ia that you n be a practicg homosexual and a fahful Christian at the same time. 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.
