WHY ‘GOD AND THE GAY CHRISTIAN’ IS WRONG ABOUT THE BIBLE AND SAME-SEX RELATNSHIPS

The difference between the Old and New Ttaments is that the New Ttament offers hope and rtoratn to those ught up the s of homosexualy through the reemg power of J. The New Ttament says that homosexualy is a “shameful lt” (Romans 1:26), a “shameful act, ” an abandonment of “natural relatns” (Romans 1:27), a “wrongdog” (1 Corthians 6:9), and “sexual immoraly and perversn” (Ju 1:7).
Homosexualy rri a “due penalty” (Romans 1:27), “is ntrary to the sound doctre” (1 Timothy 1:10), and is listed among the ss that bar people om the kgdom of God (1 Corthians 6:9).
