—Acts 17:11
 
     
 
     

So you're on the Internet, and you read an article about a Christian who is questioning whether the Bible says homosexual behavior is a sin. You glance down at the comments section, and read, "Well, yes, Leviticus says homosexuality is a sin; but, it also condemns eating shellfish and wearing clothing made out of different types of thread. You eat shrimp, don't you?"

You scratch your head and think, "Well, I do eat shrimp. And my shirt is a cotton-linen blend. But does that make homosexual relationships okay? What does the Bible say?"

Homosexuality has become such a common subject in our world; it's all over the news and glorified in entertainment. Many Christians are left confused and conflicted about how to respond. And it's especially confusing when Christian leaders, churches and ministries change their stance on this issue, rejecting the Bible's teachings.

For almost 2,000 years, the Church spoke with one voice about same-sex sexual behavior, calling it a sin. In 1955, a theologian published the first real challenge to Christian teaching on the issue. And since then, revisionist theologians have produced more and more books, articles and videos questioning God's design for marriage and sexuality, contributing to the cultural chaos and disarray.

To help you sort through the challenges to biblical teaching on homosexuality, we've put together a helpful resource: What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality? Answering Revisionist Gay Theology.

In this timely booklet—the latest in a series of Thriving Values resources to help you navigate the changing culture—we'll:

  • Explain God's original intent for human sexuality and marriage,
  • Provide a clear Christian sexual ethic, and
  • Give concise biblical answers to typical questions and arguments developed by revisionist theologians.

Don't wait. Download your FREE resource today, and find out why eating shrimp is not a parallel for homosexual behavior and what Moses, Jesus and the apostle Paul have to say about marriage.

We trust this resource will help you speak courageously, with love and truth to those who are looking for biblical answers about homosexuality.

We'd love to hear from you! Please send your comments, questions or how you've used these resources to ThrivingValues@family.org.
