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

we race to form a conclusion too quickly, this only shows that we already had our minds made up before we study the authoritative Word. In which case, the Scriptures are not all that authoritative. Just a handy supplement.

James says that dehumanizing speech stokes the fires of hell (James 3:6),

Sexuality . . . cannot escape its cultural connection.”

the way in which the evangelical church has taken a stand against homosexuality has watered down our good news.

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

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

Paul says that submission reflects the beauty and equality of the Triune God.

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.”

Listening simply means that we care enough about the person to experience their life through reliving their story.
