What Does the Bible REALLY Say About Homosexuality? with @robertgagnon7647

About this sermon

Can a biblical case be made to justify the practice of homosexuality? Does science support the narrative that people are "born gay"? And what did Jesus really teach about sexual ethics in light of the Old Testament? In this powerful episode, Frank is joined by Dr. Robert Gagnon, arguably the world’s leading scholarly authority on the topic, to tackle one of the most divisive moral issues of our time. Drawing from Dr. Gagnon’s landmark book, 'The Bible and Homosexual Practice', widely regarded as the standard work on the subject for over 25 years, they examine what Scripture and science reveal about the issue of homosexuality. Tune in as they answer questions like: -- What was the initial response to Robert's book? -- How does the Bible define love? -- What's wrong with "loving" someone of the same sex? -- What factors influence the likelihood that someone could be attracted to the same sex? -- If homosexual practices are off limits because of Leviticus 18 what about eating shrimp? -- What did Jesus say about Old Testament teachings on marriage, divorce, and sex? -- Does loving someone require affirming all of their desires or behaviors? -- How do same-sex unions compare to traditional marriage in terms of measurable harm and human flourishing? -- Why does affirming homosexuality logically open the door to redefining all sexual morality? -- Why was polygamy sometimes permitted in the Old Testament and is it still ok today? This episode kicks off the new year with a topic that many Christians avoid, but one we can’t afford to ignore as biblical morality continues to be challenged in the public square and the church. Along the way, Dr. Gagnon shares how publishing this book nearly cost him his academic career, and why the truth was worth the backlash. Don’t miss the next episode where Frank and Dr. Gagnon continue unpacking the cultural and theological consequences of redefining God’s design for sexuality.
