Homosexuality, Transgender & Same-sex marriage- What does God say?

Podcast Summary- The Bible addresses homosexuality and distinguishes between homosexual behavior and homosexual inclinations or attractions. Engaging in homosexual acts is considered sinful, but the Bible does not classify experiencing temptation as a sin in itself. Romans 1:26–27 connects homosexuality to the consequences of denying and disobeying God, while First Corinthians 6:9 states that those who practice homosexuality go against God's created order. However, it is important to note that the Bible also teaches that no sin is too great for the cleansing power of Jesus.

While the Bible does not explicitly mention gay marriage or same-sex marriage, it consistently refers to marriage as the union between a man and a woman. Passages like Genesis 2:24 establish marriage as the joining of a man and his wife. The context of marriage in the Bible consistently supports the union of a man and a woman to build a family and provide stability. God brough 1 male animal and 1 female animal into the ark- says pro creation.

In summary, the Bible views homosexual behavior as sinful, while distinguishing between temptation and active sin. It upholds the traditional understanding of marriage as the union between a man and a woman. The Bible does not directly address transgenderism but identifies instances of gender confusion as a sin. Christians are called to share the love of God, offer forgiveness, and speak the truth in love when addressing these matters.
