A Biblical Response To Homosexuality, Pt 1 Series
Contributed by Keith Edwards on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: This two-part message offers a biblical response to the issue of homosexuality. It speaks the truth in the context of grace and love.
3. Romans and 1 Corinthians will be discussed next week
Conclusion
It is clear, from God’s ideal of marriage and the Old Testament that Homosexuality, along with every sexual distortion is not acceptable for God’s people. Since the Bible always refuses to 'grade' sins, except for 'sins of ignorance,' it therefore follows that homosexuals are no more evil than killers, burglars, adulterers or embezzlers.
We all stand in need of a Savior
Reminder – sexual sin is the result of wounded hearts in a broken world, seeking intimacy outside of a relationship with Jesus Christ.
D. What is a proper Christian Response?
1. Grace in forgiveness
2. Hope in changed lives through the power of the cross
3. Stop the innuendoes and the hatred.
4. Examine ourselves
