Why do people think the Bible says being gay is wrong? What does the Bible actually say about marriage and gender roles and identities? What are some of the different ways we can understand our faith as LGBT Christians who love Jesus, have a deep respect for Scripture, and don't want to lie about who we are? This is the podcast version of a 6-week intro series we run in our Facebook group for LGBT Christians (mostly from a UK evangelical background).

    4 The Creation Order

    "But God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve!" "LGBT people go against the order God instituted in creation." Or do they? We look at the creation archetypes of Genesis 1 and 2, what they (and the rest of Scripture) say and don't say about the sort of relationships God blesses and works in, and what makes a healthy relationship.

    How did the word homosexual get into 1 Corinthians 6:9 when that isn't what the Greek says?  And is Romans 1 talking about gay relationships or something completely different?  Content warning on this one for explicit language - blame Ancient Rome but maybe don't listen at work or in front of the kids.
