You may have heard the claim that the Bible, when read correctly, is not against believers entering monogamous, faithful same-sex relationships. The arguments sound quite compelling. "Jesus never talked about same-sex relationships.” “Paul was only condemning exploitative relationships, not consensual ones.” “We don’t keep the Old Testament food laws, so why would we keep the ones on same-sex sex?” “If God is love, he can’t be against relationships of love.” And more. Have Christians through the ages just been getting this one wrong? Our guest will look at some of the most common arguments used to claim that the Bible affirms same-sex sex relationships. She will analyze the arguments and associated Bible passages to uncover what the Bible really says. For our guest, as someone with a lifelong history of same-sex attraction, this is not just an academic question. But rather than concluding that the Bible does affirm same-sex marriage, she will point us to the purpose of male-female marriage, a different kind of gospel-centered love between believers of the same sex, and God's life-and-love-filled vision for singleness.
For decades, our guest chased the truth behind unsolved murders as a cold-case homicide detective. Then he turned his skills toward investigating the death of Christ---and was converted from atheism. Join us as he uncovers multiple life-truths first described in Scripture but also gleaned from studying life and human nature. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation!
