GAY TRUTH

English: Lot and his daughters flee Sodom, as in Genesis 19:17, illustration from "Sunrays" published 1908 by the Providence Lithograph Company (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In regard to Genesis 19 , revisionist interpreters adopt the view that the destruction of Sodom was due to the city’s inhospitality, the violence of the people toward the two visitors sent from God. The cause of destruction was not general wickedness, homosexual rape, or homosexual lust. Homosexual relations became the interpretation as a result of myths popularized in the early Christian church , Boswell claims. Rather, Genesis 19 condemns inhospitality to strangers or general violence or is an allegory “only tangentially related to sexuality.”20 He argues that his view is that which modern scholarship increasingly favors, mainly as a result of the influence of Bailey’s work. The men of Sodom merely wanted to “know” the strangers received by Lot, to inspect their passports, as it were.21 The Terms of

Some argue that Romans 1:26-27 does not condemn homosexuality per se, but is instead condemning unnatural love.  In other words, the verses condemn the act of going against what a person's natural sexual orientation really is.  So, if it is natural for a person to be attracted to someone of the same sex, then it would be "unnatural" for that person to go against his/her homosexual orientation .  Is this argument sound?  No, it is not.  Let's

How can two people who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ , who minister in the name of Jesus, who teach the Word of God and who worship from the heart be on opposite sides of a moral issue—an issue that the Bible addresses? How can one person adamantly say that something is natural and right, and the other vehemently state that it is unnatural and wrong? The answer is quite simple: people interpret the Bible differently, and people see “truth” differently. The practice of homosexuality has polarized many. Where can the answer be found? What is truly God’s heart on homosexuality? Every person needs to pray, “Lord, teach me the truth … and teach me to correctly handle Your Word of Truth .”         “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”         (2 Timothy 2:15) ARGUMENT #1       “God prohibited homosexuality in Leviticus 18:22, and yet in the same book He also prohib

ATLANTA, GEORGIA , March 20, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Former president Jimmy Carter has been strongly identified as a “Born Again” Christian and as a liberal Democrat for nearly five decades. He is once more blending those roles as he promotes “his” latest book, his own study Bible . The  NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter  contains the full text of the New International Version of the Bible and the former president’s prayers, reflections, and asides. During his book tour to promote a study of the Scriptures, Carter mentioned he  supports same-sex “marriage.” President Carter told Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, senior religion editor of  The Huffington Post : Homosexuality was well known in the ancient world, well before Christ was born and Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned.  I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in c
