WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

Pope Francis was recently asked about his views on homosexualy. 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. 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.
Bible vers about Gay * bigle gay *
Christians – no matter which church they belong to – should follow Pl and extend to the heterosexual-homosexual distctn. (Genis 1:27, 28; Levic 18:22; Proverbs 5:18, 19) The Bible nmns sexual activy that is not between a hband and wife, whether is homosexual or heterosexual nduct.
While the Bible disapprov of homosexual acts, do not ndone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Can a person be born homosexual? The Bible don’t ment directly on the blogy of homosexual sir, though acknowledg that we are all born wh a tenncy to go agast what God mands.
(Romans 7:21-25) Rather than foc on the e of homosexual sir, however, the Bible prohibs homosexual acts. At the heart of the claim that the Bible is clear "that homosexualy is forbidn by God" is poor biblil scholarship and a cultural bias read to the Bible.
