“7 BIBLE QUOT SUPPORTG GAY RELATNSHIPS”

I hate to wre another blog post on any homosexual issu, but breaks my heart when I see thoands of people watchg and sharg ntent that furthers the misnceptn that God is alright wh homosexual relatnships. ” Bee of the obsceni, I will not lk to the vio, but I will give you the ndown of all “7 Bible Quot Supportg Gay Relatnships, ” acrdg to Arielle Srcella and Matthew V.

The term, “sexual immoraly” is a translatn of the Greek word, “porneia” which acrdg to the Strong’s fn clus “adultery, fornitn, homosexualy, lbianism, terurse wh animals, etc. Those of who teach that homosexualy is wrong are dog so bee we love people and we want them to be set ee om their bondage of s. ” And sce Srcella and V don’t believe homosexualy is nmned the ntext of a “lovg and mted relatnship, ” then they believe they n simply dismiss most ( not all) of God’s nmnatn of homosexualy.

BIBLIL PASSAG TO SUPPORT A BISEXUAL OR GAY BROTHER

If people are born wh a sexual orientatn, then why wouldn’t there have been people the biblil tim who were exclively homosexual? This is why I have no problem g Levic 18 to show that homosexualy was one of the abomatns of Sodom, but is not a passage I lean heavily upon to nvce people homosexualy is a s today. Do not be ceived; neher fornitors, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemate, nor homosexuals, nor thiev, nor the veto, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers, will her the kgdom of God.

It breaks my heart to thk of someone watchg that vio and g away wh the ia that you n be a practicg homosexual and a fahful Christian at the same time. That’s what Jonathan Sggs his story tled “1 John 2:10” was told by a aterny brother when, wh fear and trepidatn, Jonathan shared wh this man the fact that he is gay.

IS BIBLILLY ALLOWABLE FOR A PASTOR TO BE GAY?

You may have heard a iend, or yourself, say somethg like: “Our aterny is based on the Bible and Christian prcipl, so how n we accept gay men to our membership? He spends nsirable time lookg at the ways the Bible has been ed and abed over the centuri to jtify racism, anti-Semism, sexism, and fally, what he lls “the last prejudice, ” homophobia.

And Gom and many other Christians and Jews believe that the Bible is still beg ed (abed) to see gay men and lbians as send-class cizens. Some so-lled ‘people of fah’ have even ed scripture as a means for advotg vlence agast those who intify as homosexual or bisexual. There are others who believe, effect, that the Bible says NOTHING about homosexualy as an orientatn and that those passag that refer to homosexual behavr are not speakg about lovg, nsensual relatnships, but abive and idolatro behavr.

31 BIBLE VERS ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE

Chris Glaser, an ordaed Prbyterian pastor, and a gay man wrote a votnal gui 1994 entled “The Word is OUT: The Bible Reclaimed For Lbians and Gay Men. On eof my big disappotments when g out as gay was disverg that the opprsed, who prumably would know better, easily fall to opprsive behavr. And now, precisely bee you are so close, bee of your mon experienc through the universy and aterny, bee your iend tsts and feels safe wh you, bee he embrac the same valu you do, such as honty and tth, he nfis you that he is gay.
