 Does it really say in the Bible that being gay is a sin? Biblical texts doesn't introduce the word homosexuality until the 1900s. And so then you have to go back and you have to look at the original manuscript which frames it from a different perspective. When he talks about the word homosexuality not being in the original Bible, he's right. Because the Bible wasn't written in English. We need to go back to the original word in Greek. Pardon my pronunciation, but it's arson a coitai. Arson meaning man and a coitai meaning bed. It means men who bed with men or something similar. Now the truth is it's not just six verses that condemn homosexuality. Throughout the whole narrative of scripture, it's always oriented around marriage being between a man and a woman. Problem is our sinful hearts draw us to distortions of God's design. We pursue these desires in hopes that they'll fill us with the love, acceptance and control that we so desperately crave. But ultimately they lead us to despair. Today God is calling you to lay that identity down that is counter to his ways and receive forgiveness in Christ and a new identity in him.
