Homosexual love

Same-Sex Love is Great and Beautiful

This is the fifth publish in a month-long series on “celibate gay pride,” exploring the glory of God as revealed in the lives of celibate lgbtq+ Christians. I’d appreciate to publish about posts every week over the month of June. But I need your help! The more feedback I acquire, the more I can make things relevant. As the series progresses, please comment below or share your thoughts via private note. Any interaction will be a Gigantic help as I tailor the content. Suggestions and requests are percent welcome!

Also, I’m specifically talking about and for celibate homosexual Christians in this series. To be clear: this is not an argument for why male lover Christians ought to be celibate. I want to clarify this at the outset, because I often receive various criticisms from non-celibate gay people who tell me that my arguments aren’t convincing. But there’s a reason for that. I&#;mnot trying to make arguments for or against any particular sexual ethic in my blog. This blog is simply for LGBT+ Christians who accept in the traditional sexual ethic. It’s not a b

What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?

What Does The Bible Speak About Homosexuality?

Introduction

For the last two decades, Pew Research Center has reported that one of the most enduring ethical issues across Christian traditions is sexual diversity. For many Christians, one of the most frequently first-asked questions on this topic is, “What does the Bible say about attraction to someone of the alike sex?”

Although its unlikely that the biblical authors had any notion of sexual orientation (for example, the term homosexual wasn't even coined until the delayed 19th century) for many people of faith, the Bible is looked to for timeless guidance on what it means to honor God with our lives; and this most certainly includes our sexuality.

Before we can bounce into how it is that Christians can maintain the authority of the Bible and also affirm sexual diversity, it might be helpful if we started with a short but clear overview of some of the assumptions informing many Christian approaches to understanding the Bible.

Real Love for Homosexuals

The Church’s instruction on the homosexual orientation and chastity have been two wonderful liberators on my journey, and it’s appropriate to amplify upon them. Much of the uniqueness of the teaching on queer orientation stems from the absence of the determinism that characterizes so many other positions. Men and women with a lgbtq+ orientation are not automatically candidates for either praise (on the grounds of their being &#;oppressed&#;) or damnation (on account of inherent sinfulness). Like everyone else, they can choose good or evil. This is a education filled with respect; it recognizes us as children of God and not mere beasts subject to instinct alone.

The Church’s corollary position, that homosexuals are called to chastity, contributes to this teaching’s unique expression of grace because of what it teaches about love. Contemporary culture is filled with counterfeits to adore. We say we &#;love&#; diet, &#;love&#; our pets, &#;love&#; the outdoors, &#;love&#; our parents and children, and &#;love&#; our spouses. But so much of the time we do n

Expressing love in same sex relationships

Expressing love in a same sex relationship is something natural, and a natural part of existence human. To want to share love deeply and express sexually is a natural feeling in relationships and needn’t alter or become an issue if the individuals are of the same sex.

If you choose from your heart who you express adore with, it will never be unnatural or inferior, yet in this earth it has been viewed this way by many for a very prolonged time; even today it is still seen as totally unacceptable by some.

Being in a same sex relationship has the potential to evolve personal expansion just as any other relationship does. We undertake not need to connect the label of queer and lesbian or the connotations this may deliver, as these labels execute not define whether there is love in a relationship or not; that is a choice made by two individuals.

In evidence, doesn’t love give us a sense that we can connect way beyond the boundaries of our physical bodies and what we physically represent? It is possible that the love between two people can transcend way beyond an at
