How to live as a gay christian

To everyone who professes to be a gay Christian, I ask you to get alone with God and ask yourself, “Did God create and design me to be with the same-sex or the opposite sex?”. The Word of God, which represents His heart and will for His creation, is absolutely clear on the subject, prohibiting all forms of homosexual practice.

They raise two main arguments against the use of these verses. Yet those are the only kinds of romantic and sexual relationships that God speaks of, and that is only kind of marriage He recognizes or blesses: a man and woman coming together in a lifetime commitment before Him.

First, consider what the Bible says about gay love, and truly decide if that is the path you wish to fight for. This means that rather than interpreting their sexuality through the lens of the Scriptures, they are interpreting the Scriptures through the lens of their sexuality.

Stories Everyone at Living Out has a story to tell of God's wonderful love and the impact that following Jesus has on our lives. For those wanting a more in-depth treatment, please see my newest book, Can You Be Gay and Christian? Is that the good news of the gospel? Here are five simple truths that will help separate truth from error and biblical revelation from emotion.

We will also discuss how Christians can show compassion and respect to homosexual individuals while holding fast to their biblical convictions. If we will humble ourselves before the Lord, keeping our focus on Jesus and asking the Father to give us His heart for those who identify as LGBT, letting the unequivocal testimony of Scripture guide us, we will find clarity.

In other words, they have not changed their thinking based on study of the Scriptures alone since no new textual, archaeological, sociological, anthropological, or philological discoveries have been made in the last fifty years that would cause us to read any of these biblical texts differently.

Join us on this journey as we explore how Christians can approach homosexuality with compassion, respect, and biblical wisdom. Confronted by the gospel, including God’s plans for Adam and Eve, a national LGBT activist saw Christ transform everything about her life—including her identity.

Would it be right to conclude that avoiding sugar was not important to the author? How important can it actually be? To the contrary, it was so important that every single recipe in the book makes no mention of sugar. Yet they cannot offer any new evidence to back this claim since none exists.

One night I was reading the stories of people who had left the church because they thought God hated them simply because they were attracted to the same sex. There are a few, very strong, very clear, references to homosexual practice—every one of them decidedly negative—and then not a single reference to homosexual practice throughout the rest of the Bible.

It is really not that difficult. Put another way, it is not that we have gained some new insights into what the biblical text means based on the study of the Hebrew and Greek texts. And some of the authors of these books, videos, articles, and blogs claim to be committed Christians themselves.

Many single Christians in their 20s and 30s are walking this journey, seeking to honor God while embracing their identity. In the Introduction to the book, the author explains her reasons for avoiding sugar products, telling you that you will find sumptuous, sweet dessert recipes, but all without sugar.

Let us say you buy a new cookbook featuring healthy dessert recipes, none of which use sugar. This is the guaranteed path to deception. Listen to same-sex attracted Christians tell their different stories of enjoying their new identity in Christ. I was so overcome with emotion that I put the book down, got alone in another room, fell to my knees and wept.

A spate of books and videos and article and blogs would tell us that, indeed, that is not the gospel and that the good news of Jesus is that you can follow Him and enjoy a committed, homosexual relationship too. First, they claim that the verses have been mistranslated, misinterpreted, or misused, and so, in reality, these Scriptures do not prohibit monogamous, committed, homosexual relationships.

Learn all you can from strong Christian teachers, and see how it compares to what the gay community tells you about gay Christians. After the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in (Obergefell), Christians began living in a Psalm 46 world. Could it be that we have been misinterpreting Scripture when it comes to their salvation?

Could it be that there is some new understanding of the Bible that would allow us to affirm committed, same-sex relationships? The pain of these men and women for whom Jesus died was palpable and heartbreaking. It is exactly the same when it comes to the Bible and homosexuality.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How can I be Christian and gay?”—know that you’re not alone.
