Is it ok to be gay and Christian? Does the Bible really say that
homosexuality is wrong? Is sexual orientation fundamental to identity?
Author and speaker Sam Allberry has expanded and restructured his
best-selling book, which draws on his own experience as a believer who
experiences same-sex attraction. As well as exploring Bible passages
that talk directly about homosexuality, this new edition frames the
whole discussion with Jesus' general teaching on sex and marriage,
as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and
happiness. It also challenges the current culture narrative, which
inextricably ties sexuality to personal identity, and he shows that the
gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.This
sensitive exploration of the Bible's teaching on sexuality has been
written to help both Christians and non-Christians struggling with the
Bible's teaching on this issue, whether they experience same-sex
attraction themselves or not. Includes answers to questions such as:
Does Jesus ever mention same-sex relationships? Aren't people just
born this way? What should I do if a Christian comes out to me? Surely,
isn't a same-sex partnership ok if it's committed and faithful?
Is it sinful to experience same-sex attraction? Isn't the Christian
view of sexuality harmful? Aren't we just picking and choosing which
Old Testament laws apply? Can't Christians just agree to differ on
this? Should Christians attend gay weddings?
