While the Bible rejects ltful same-sex behavr, that’s very different om a nmnatn of all gay people and relatnships. Requirg that all gay people rema celibate is at odds wh the Bible’s teachgs on celibacy, which are ground Scripture’s re affirmatn that God’s physil creatn is good.

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

” Therefore, the ial reply mt be, “What mak you thk that God don’t love people who label themselv ‘gay’?

” The tth of the matter is that God ed lov those who label themselv “gay, ” but He lov them a way that is culturally strange to at this the person askg “Why don’t God love gays? ” were prsed to say why they thk He don’t, the rponse most likely would be “bee He don’t thk their homosexualy is OK.

POPE FRANCIS REPORTEDLY TELLS GAY MAN, 'GOD MA YOU THAT WAY AND LOV YOU'

Medilly, homosexualy is harmful, pecially to men who practice homosexualy. Socially, homosexualy is harmful that nnot provi what the oppose sex brgs to a romantic relatnship, cludg but certaly not limed to the potential of procreatn and then the prence of a mother and a father that child’s life. However, most harmful is the spirual harm that homosexualy brgs, as clearly noted the Bible.

Romans 1:18-27, for example, clar that the creasg prence of homosexualy a society signals that God is brgg about judgment on that society due to idolatry. God, as a functn of His wrath agast s, simply whdraws His rtrag grace om those who rebellly pursue s, givg them over to gradg passns such as homosexualy and all sorts of other stctive the spirual harm this life pal parison to the spirual harm that homosexualy brgs the age to e for those who practice this prent age. The Bible is emphatic that practicg homosexualy will bar a person om heaven.
