MB: Matthew thks that God himself did not unrstand the ncept of sexual orientatn and advertently hurt gays bee of his lack of knowledge. This is important bee the statistics show that gay relatnships (pendg on whether is female-female or male-male) are prone to stabily and/or fily.
Gay relatnships do not normally value permanence and exclivy the way that oppose-sex marriage relatnships do, pecially where the uple regularly attends church. We have published studi like this one showg that there are negative impacts to children who are raised by gay upl, which dovetails wh studi showg that children need a mother and that children need a father.
I wrote prevly about the argument that gay activists e where they say “if you don’t agree wh me and celebrate me and affirm me, then I’ll m suici”. I don’t fd the threats to self-stctn to be a nvcg argument for the tth of the view that gay marriage beg the same as heterosexual marriage.
WHY ‘GOD AND THE GAY CHRISTIAN’ IS WRONG ABOUT THE BIBLE AND SAME-SEX RELATNSHIPS
Matthew V is a 22-year-old gay Christian who believ beg gay is not a s. He me to that ncln after two years of studyg Scripture and the works of dozens of biblil scholars. The Harvard Universy stunt, currently on leave of absence, is now tryg to w over fellow believers not jt wh an emotnal ttimony but wh what he is prentg as biblilly solid arguments. * vines gay *
In fact, this is nfirmed by a recent study which showed that featur of gay relatnships themselv, and not social disapproval, is to blame for high rat of suici the gay muny. V seems to want to argue that the ntext which the Bible thors were wrg did not allow them to addrs the problem of gays “long-term”, “fahful” relatnships. In addn, V is tryg to argue that 1) the Bible thors were not aware of “long-term”, “fahful” gay relatnships and 2) their failure to explicly disqualify the “long-term”, “stable” gay sexual relatnships means that the Bible actually ndon them.
Every sgle Christian before V, who were closer to J’ teachgs than V, unrstood the vers that Brown ced to be providg a blanket prohibn on homosexual sex acts. Followg Matthew V' terview will be rpons om evangelil theologians, and fally, gut ntributns om Christians who have chosen not to engage homosexualy and those who don't believe a gay liftyle nflicts wh the Bible.
MY RPONSE TO MATTHEW V´GAY THEOLOGY
"Beg gay is not a s" is the mantra that one young Harvard stunt is tryg to promulgate. But while Matthew V has attracted a growg followg wh his accsible, scholarly arguments, evangelil scholars don't believe he'll make much headway the Christian muny. * vines gay *
"There is no ntradictn between beg Christian and beg gay, " he told arguments – maly agast six Bible passag that are monly ed by Christians to nmn homosexualy – are gag populary as evinced by his YouTube views.
In six months, an over hour-long vio of V meticuloly challengg what he lls the tradnal terpretatn of Scripture has garnered nearly 400, 000 an terview wh The Christian Post, V ma clear that he believ that Christians who believe homosexualy is a s are wrong. "Lovg, same-sex relatnships" are not addrsed the Bible, let alone nmned, he distguish between ltful, sual homosexual behavr and lovg, "natural" same-sex relatnships, argug that is only the former behavr that the Bible speaks Wicha, Kan., rint has already changed some Christians' stance on homosexualy, cludg that of his vout Christian father, whom he me out to jt a uple years has stated that he was raised a lovg, Christian home – never molted or abed – and a church muny that holds the tradnal view of homosexualy. He exprsed optimism that the acceptance of gay Christians will soon is a transcript of the What were the scholarly works or people you talked to that led you to velop your view on Scripture and homosexualy?
V: I beme more terted unrstandg the issue when I me to meet gay people for the first time high school bee when the issue is jt an abstractn, then is much easier not to talk about very much.
