THE POPE SAYS GOD MA GAY PEOPLE JT AS WE SHOULD BE – HERE’S WHY HIS MENTS MATTER
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. 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.
10 REASONS GOD LOV GAY CHRISTIANS
From Genis on, the Bible prais the marriage of a man and a woman, but speaks only negatively of homosexual behavr whenever is mentned. The New Ttament agre, listg “homosexual offenrs” among a list of people who “will not her the kgdom of God” unls they are cleansed through Christ (1 Corthians 6:9-11).
