CAN YOU BE GAY AND CHRISTIAN?
* bible and gay *
(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.
Pope Francis was recently asked about his views on homosexualy. Persons wh homosexual tennci are children of God.
Bible vers about Gay * bible and gay *
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. Christians – no matter which church they belong to – should follow Pl and extend to the heterosexual-homosexual distctn. 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.
