Bible and Homosexuality: An LGBTQ Positive View Podcast artwork

Does the Bible really condemn same-sex attraction? …does it condemn premarital sex? In this series, we look at the many things surrounding sex that Christians have been taught or mistaught. We start with the Old Testament “clobber verses” used INCORRECTLY to condemn gay Christians. We discuss queer-affirming scriptures from Christ and the prophets. We talk about the teaching of sexual purity. How many churches are teaching young Christians non-Biblical rules that few can follow. And the guilt, shame and poor decisions that follow. This is a queer-positive and affirming view of the Bible.
