Sexual orientation is a pretty new concept.
BIBLE QUOTES FREE
Those of us who teach that homosexuality is wrong are doing so because we love people and we want them to be set free from their bondage of sin.Ģ. Since we are using the Bible in this discussion, how exactly can they make that point? In fact, the Bible indicates that encouraging same-sex relationships is harmful. One, it assumes that being in a same-sex relationship is good for anyone. To get more to the precise point that condemning same-sex relationships is harmful to LGBT people, I must strongly disagree. The term, “sexual immorality” is a translation of the Greek word, “porneia” which according to the Strong’s definition includes “adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals, etc.”
Paul uses this same comparison in Galatians 5, when he discusses the “fruit of the Spirit” versus “the works of the flesh.” The very first work of the flesh he mentions is, “sexual immorality” (Galatians 5:19). The Bible quote they offer with this argument is Matthew 7:17, “…every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” It is ironic that they would offer this passage as one they suppose, “supports gay relationships.” It is ironic because Jesus was actually warning against false teachers (7:15), telling the people that they could recognize false teachers by the “fruits” of their lives. Condemning same-sex relationships is harmful to LGBT people. Here are their “7 Bible Quotes Supporting Gay Relationships” and my thoughts on each:ġ. The majority of the seven arguments are actually the same argument said in a slightly different way. They do, however, offer seven erroneous arguments about why the Bible doesn’t actually mean what it says. Of course, they can offer zero Bible quotes which support gay relationships. This week, a popular homosexual “vlogger” released a video entitled, “7 Bible Quotes Supporting Gay Relationships.” Because of the obscenities, I will not link to the video, but I will give you the rundown of all “7 Bible Quotes Supporting Gay Relationships,” according to Arielle Scarcella and Matthew Vines.įirst, the title of the youtube video is extremely misleading. I hesitate to write another blog post on any homosexual issues, but it breaks my heart when I see thousands of people watching and sharing content that furthers the misconception that God is alright with homosexual relationships.
