MY SPOE ME OUT AS GAY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

In his book When Homosexualy Hs Home, Joe Dallas says that many women are attracted to the sensivy, astute munitn skills, vulnerabily and easily exprsed emotns that often embody temperament monly found homosexual men. In addn to the omo feelg that somethg is wrong, there are a number of telltale signs that your partner might be stgglg wh same-sex attractn or havg a homosexual affair:.

Whether is a hband who out as gay or a wife who clar she is a lbian, the spo who love them are broadsid wh a thoand qutns. So, if a Christian hband or wife out as gay, other qutns mt be asked: is he or she actg on those urg or simply admtg the attractn? If the spoe who has e out as gay is willg to stay the marriage and rema fahful, alg wh his or her same-sex nfn through acuntabily and unselg, the marriage n be prerved.

RPONDG TO A “GAY CHRISTIAN” THE FAY

We wouldn’t leave a spoe if he or she was wrtlg wh other sful temptatns, so we shouldn’t leave him or her a stggle agast homosexualy. People who have mted themselv to honor the Lord wh their bodi nnot live a sexually immoral liftyle, and that clus homosexual behavrs (1 Corthians 6:18–20).

But if the one intifyg as gay is ready to embrace a gay liftyle, or if he or she abandons his or her role the marriage, the other spoe may have ltle choice but to ask him or her to leave. However, equally harmful is the spoe who pretends the gay spoe’s same-sex partners are wele their liv and acts as if nothg is wrong.

10 REASONS GOD LOV GAY CHRISTIANS

In late May, we learned Exod Internatnal, an anizatn that offers hope and healg to people who want to leave the homosexual liftyle, was havg a nference the next month. At the nference, we learned that homosexual behavr is an attempt to fulfill normal, legimate needs for love, acceptance, and inty through sexual timacy wh someone of the same genr.

We disvered that almost every stance, the attractn for the same sex begs before the age of 10, which leads victims to believe erroneoly that they were born homosexual. For example, clarify that there will be no overt displays of homosexual affectn nor any sharg of the same room while unr your roof. If he persists argug that the Bible has nothg to say agast homosexualy, remd him gently that the evince all pots the oppose directn.

Some morn Bible translatns say that “homosexuals” will not her the kgdom of God, but neher the ncept nor the word for people wh exclive same-sex attractn existed before the late 19th century. 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. Mastream nomatns like Prbyterians and Epispalians now orda openly gay clergy, and there are seeds of change evangelil church as well.

GOSPEL COALN CONTRIBUTOR SAYS GAYS CAN STAY MARRIED BEE GOD HAT DIVORCE

Matthew V is the thor of God and the Gay Christian and is the founr of The Reformatn Project, a Bible-based non-prof anizatn that seeks to reform church teachg on sexual orientatn and genr inty. In our prev post on Gilson, who’s slated to speak at an upg event hosted by The Gospel Coaln’s Women’s Trag Network September, we revealed the most recent gay-affirmg remarks om the lbian speaker (she’s married to a man, but says she’s not attracted to men). The Gospel Coaln’s ntributg thor and speaker, Rachel Gilson, recently preached that you n be a fahful spoe a non-tradnal marriage, as we reported the post, Gospel Coaln Wrer/Speaker Com Out Full Support for Gay Marriage?

WHAT DO THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE?

Some argued that she wasn’t as pro-gay-marriage as her ments implied, but d we’ve unvered om the 2018 C Conference monstrat Gilson’s view – her own words – that bee God hat divorce, ’s okay for gay upl to stay married.

Unfortunately, few noticed exactly how bad this msage was, or that several optns are prented to ‘gay Christians’ for how to rema gay marriage. Although Gilson’s entire talk was eply disturbg and gay-affirmg at almost every juncture, was around the 59-mute-mark that Gilson let her endorsement of (some) gay marriage slip. Most pastors probably would put ‘your gay marriage’ on top of the list of thgs to addrs for new believers, even though Gilson se as jt a shggg matter.

We doubt there’s ever been a gay “Christian” uple who have remaed married and livg together who were “celibate, ” and sayg so eher monstrat an credibily naivety regardg human behavr or is an tentnal subversivens. In no uncerta terms, Gilson has taken the already-flawed premise of TGC’s gay uc – that you n be a sgle and celibate gay Christian – to argug that you n be a married (and celibate) gay Christian a gay marriage.

HOW TO COPE WHEN YOUR SPOE COM OUT AS GAY

Bee Gilson, like others at TGC, ny the power of God the Holy Spir to change the hearts of sners, she prum that He will not make a homosexual to a ‘straight’ person (she says so the talk we wrote about here). And jt like that, wh the endorsement of a TGC ntributor, gays n rema married and keep themselv off the heterosexual marriage-market altogether unr the vil’s lie that God won’t change them. However, to bate the issue serly and tthfully, we mt seek an hont picture of what our opponents actually believe — workg om what we thk they believe is neher helpful nor there are people of many diverse beliefs and nvictns — cludg gay and lbian people — who oppose same-sex marriage, here are 10 foundatnal tths that rm the tradnal, orthodox Christian belief.

When our son told that he was volved a gay relatnship, was so difficult for hband and I bee we had to stggle wh that tensn of lovg our son and not wantg him to be alone while also not ndong somethg that we believed was a s God's ey. Bee Christ drank the full cup of God’s wrath on your behalf (Romans 5:8–9; 1 Peter 3:18), you will never experience even a moment of judgment om God over your homosexual sir, or over anythg else.

The most foundatnal lie SSA tells is that a homosexual experience will be more pleasurable and more satisfyg than what you are experiencg here and now.

CAN YOU BE GAY AND CHRISTIAN?

Among the upl, when the gay, lbian, or bisexual partner out, a third of the upl break up immediately; another third stay together for one to two years and then spl; the remag third try to make their marriag work.

HOW CELIBATE GAY CHRISTIANS DEAL WH DIRE

Many of spent years ex-gay or nversn therapy mistri, begged God for liverance, or mated endlsly on the Bible vers we thought nmned LGBTQ+ people. This view implicly or explicly supports efforts to alter someone’s sexual orientatn or genr inty through nversn therapy practic, and is sometim referred to as Si X or Ex-gay iology.

The are marriag where at least one person is married to a person of a differg sexual inty, such as a heterosexual man married to a gay woman. So one signifint reason why gay marriage wasn’t addrsed Scripture was bee wasn’t a cultural issue; marriage between two people of the same genr was out of the qutn, sce romantic feelgs was not the reason for marriage—procreatn ia of a personal sexual orientatn was foreign to them.

” The Greek words mistranslated as “homosexual” have historilly been translated as “sodom, ” “abers of themselv wh mankd, ” “liers wh mankd, ” “perverts, ” and “buggerers.

THE EX-GAY CHRISTIANY MOVEMENT IS MAKG A QUIET EBACK. THE EFFECTS ON LGBTQ YOUTH ULD BE VASTATG.

Unfortunately, the 1946 Revised Standard Versn troduced the word “homosexual” to our English Bibl, and many other English translatns chose to follow their example.

A spate of books and vios and article and blogs would tell that, ed, that is not the gospel and that the good news of J is that you n follow Him and enjoy a mted, homosexual relatnship too.

4:12-13) we will humble ourselv before the Lord, keepg our foc on J and askg the Father to give His heart for those who intify as LGBT, lettg the unequivol ttimony of Scripture gui , we will fd, what do the Word of God say about homosexual practice?

CHRISTIAN COOPER IS GAY: WHO IS CHRISTIAN COOPER HBAND?

The ttimony of Scripture remas unchanged: The Bible forbids homosexual is clear that the vast majory of those who have changed their views on what the Bible says about homosexualy and now believe “gay Christiany” have done so based on eher their own same-sex sir and attractns or their teractn wh “gay Christians” (or wh any gay or lbian person who challeng their assumptns) other words, they have not changed their thkg based on study of the Scriptur alone sce no new textual, archaeologil, soclogil, anthropologil, or philologil disveri have been ma the last fifty years that would e to read any of the biblil texts another way, is not that we have gaed some new sights to what the biblil text means based on the study of the Hebrew and Greek texts. This is the guaranteed path to Word of God, which reprents His heart and will for His creatn, is absolutely clear on the subject, prohibg all forms of homosexual practice. This is so clear that a number of leadg gay and lbian theologians acknowledge that they n only jtify “gay Christiany” by rejectg the full thory of Scripture.

First, they claim that the vers have been mistranslated, misterpreted, or mised, and so, realy, the Scriptur do not prohib monogamo, mted, homosexual relatnships. To the ntrary, was so important that every sgle recipe the book mak no mentn of is exactly the same when to the Bible and homosexualy.

There are a few, very strong, very clear, referenc to homosexual practice—every one of them cidly negative—and then not a sgle reference to homosexual practice throughout the rt of the Bible. Throughout the Word, the only relatnships that were acceptable God’s sight or nsired normal for society were heterosexual relatnships, and so homosexual practice was eher irrelevant (bee had nothg to do wh the God-ordaed relatnships of marriage and fay and society) or, if mentned, explicly give jt one example out of hundreds, when a gay uple reads the Word and they e to Pl’s words Ephians 5:22, 25, “Wiv, subm to your own hbands, as to the Lord....
