People to Be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is Not Just an Issue

what causes same-sex attraction is more complex than we realize.

The church needs to learn how to value single people.

The biological sex of the person you had sex with didn’t matter a whole lot. What mattered was whether you were the active or passive partner in sexual relations. If you were active, then you’d be manly. If passive, then effeminate.

most people who are attracted to the same sex don’t end up leaving the church because they were told that same-sex behavior is wrong. They leave because they were dehumanized, ridiculed, and treated like an “other.”

We should not think the sky is falling when non-Christians embrace a non-Christian ethic. It’s Babylon, and we are not Babylonians.

people are not abominations.1 We are image bearers of Creator God.

“People will always gravitate to where they are loved. And if they don’t find love in the church, they’ll go elsewhere.”

There are good arguments from silence—ones that are based on historical evidence—and bad arguments from silence that are created out of thin air.

If we are the ultimate judges of what is right and wrong, and if we think we have a better, more updated understanding of what love is, then we are doing nothing more than replicating the sin of Eden and becoming our own moral authority—determining what is right and wrong. And God help us all.
