7: Can You Be Gay and Christian? Prepared to Answer Podcast
-
- Christianity
The issue of homosexuality has been much debated among Bible-believing evangelical Christians. Some churches affirm same-sex unions and lifestyles, while others don’t. Many Christians have simply decided that this is an issue that Christians need to “agree to disagree” over.
So, is the question of being a gay Christian really that important in the 21st century?
Yes, because this issue is both relevant and crucial to the gospel. In calling Christians to be holy, that necessarily includes not only our sexual behaviour, but also our thoughts and ideas about sex.
Join Scott and Shawn as they explore this important question and its implications in this week's podcast episode.
In this episode, you'll discover—
How is the issue of homosexuality different from other doctrinal differences?What does “gay” mean in relation to “sexual orientation” and is there a distinction between experience vs. identity?How does the label “gay” differ from other identity labels Christians wear (such as racial or national groupings)?How should Christians deal with same-sex attraction?Show resources available here: www.preparedtoanswer.org/episode7
