Oct 21, 2024 · It is the difference between active sin and the passive condition of being tempted. Homosexual behavior is sinful, but the Bible never says it is a sin to be tempted. Simply stated, a struggle with temptation may lead to sin, but the struggle itself is not a sin. Romans 1:26–27 teaches that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God.

This is a direct discussion by Paul of the descent of a society into depravity once it has rejected God (Romans 1:21). The end result of this is a rise of social constructs where same-sex practice is celebrated rather than what God has established for sexual expression. It is an executive summary of the pattern that we see in the Book of Judges and...
Paul writes a condemnation against the practitioners of specific activities in this passage. The language is very specific in verse nine that men that practice homosexuality are part of this and they will not inherit the kingdom of God. I wish there was a friendlier way to express this, but Paul is very concise here and there is no wiggle room. Per...

People that practice homosexuality are on the list. As Paul is instructing Timothy as a church leader, it can be instructional to church leaders today as we seek to faithfully guide t...

The word, and with it the concept of lifelong primary sexual orientation toward members of one's own gender, was unacknowledged and probably unknown in the biblical world. Some today will therefore argue that what the Bible ...
Oct 1, 2023 · When it is read, it is too often read poorly and dangerously.
