The Bible and Homosexuality!?
David Dean, Presbyterian and Disciples of Christ Student Center

A serious look at the Bible passages that get abused and misused by those who do not believe God sees and loves non-heterosexuals the same God sees and loves everyone else. In at least five places and probably no more than seven places, some have noted that the Bible, and therefore, God, has a 'moral' message for those who are sexually oriented toward the same sex. However, upon very close inspection, taking the original contexts to heart, and using our best reasoning, based upon what we have learned about human sexuality (only!) in the last 70 years or so, we will see that the Bible may not be made to speak to or to address our non-heterosexual, i.e., our LGBTQIA, sisters and brothers and their core, embodied, sexual orientation. We will hear, "it is not good for the human to be alone..." that old, old word from Genesis, in a new voice.
