10 BIBLE VERSE ABOUT GAY (HOMOSEXUALY): WHAT DO THE SCRIPTUR SAY?
Pope Francis was recently asked about his views on homosexualy. 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.
GAY CULTURE HAS GROWN TOXIC WH UNCHECKED PRIVILEGE. IT'S TIME FOR TO RET
Their terpretatn of the story is that is about homosexualy. Levic 18:22 and 20:13, for example, are not about “homosexualy” as we now unrstand – as the rg, lovg and sexual relatnship between people of the same sex. Christians – no matter which church they belong to – should follow Pl and extend to the heterosexual-homosexual distctn.
Do not be ceived: neher the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexualy,. Do not be ceived: neher the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexualy, nor thiev, nor the greedy, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers will her the kgdom of God. Homosexualy is not the only s mentned 1 Corthians 6:9–10.
At this moment history, ntrary to the other ss listed here, homosexualy is celebrated by our larger society wh pneerg excement. But not homosexual practice, not by those who are now speakg loust and holdg posns of promence. As Christians, we believe wh ept scery that the embrace of homosexual practice, along wh other ss, keeps people out of the kgdom of God.

This means is an oversimplifitn to say that Christians — or nservative evangelils — are simply agast homosexualy.
We are agast any s that rtras people om everlastg joy God, and homosexual practice jt gets all the prs bee, at this cultural moment, ’s the ma s that is so hly endorsed our ntext by the powers that be.
