Overview
Get equipped to respond truthfully and graciously to the topic of homosexuality and to those who are a part of the LGBT community. Sean McDowell examines some of the preliminary issues, such as whether or not homosexuality is a gospel issue, whether or not homosexuality is the unforgiveable sin, and why many people have adopted the revisionist view of homosexuality. Gain profound insight and practical advice while applying biblical evidence to common objections to pertinent passages in Genesis, Romans, and 1 Corinthians.
Top Highlights
“Friends, as we talk about this issue of homosexuality, we have to realize that there are real people. This is not just an issue, this is dealing with human beings in the church and outside of the church. We need to approach it biblically, but also with a deep sense of compassion.” (source)
“the church has been unanimous in its rejection of homosexual behavior, not homosexual people—very different things.” (source)
“Acts 5:29 Peter stands up and speaks on behalf of the apostles. He says, ‘We must obey God rather than men,’ and that’s exactly what we must do today. We need to be compassionate. We can’t compromise truth, but we need to fear God more than we fear men.” (source)
“This is a project started by Matthew Vines, author of God and the Gay Christian, and the whole idea is to come up with new arguments, new talking points to kind of transform the church from within to be accepting of same-sex relationships.” (source)
“And here is what he wrote. He said, ‘Unless you have been sexually attracted to someone of the same sex you can never fully grasp, as a heterosexual Christian, what that means.’” (source)
