Ireland became the first country
in the world to legalize same-
sex marriage through a popular
vote on Saturday (May 23,2015)
"We're the first country in the
world to enshrine marriage
equality in our constitution and
do so by popular mandate. That
makes us a beacon, a light to the
rest of the world, of liberty and
equality. So it's a very proud day
to be Irish," said Leo Varadkar, a
Cabinet minister

Homosexuality and the Bible
by The Rev. Dr. Walter Wink
Sexual issues are tearing our churches apart today
as never before. The issue of homosexuality
threatens to fracture whole denominations, as the
issue of slavery did a hundred and fifty years ago.
We naturally turn to the Bible for guidance, and
find ourselves mired in interpretative quicksand. Is
the Bible able to speak to our confusion on this
issue?...

HOMOSEXUALITY
In the Days of the Patriarchs
–
Homosexuality was a “very grave” sin
Some would have you to believe that their sin
was a lack of hospitality
Consider the following…
HOMOSEXUALITY
Gen 19:4-5
4
Now before they lay down, the men of the
city, the men of Sodom, both old and
young, all the people from every quarter,
surrounded the house.
5
And they called to
Lot and said to him, "Where are the men
who came to you tonight? Bring them out to
us that we may know them
carnally.

All the men of the city were seeking to
participate in this “very grave” sin
-
They were seeking to “know them carnally”
meaning that they intended to have sexual
relations with them

Note
The word carnally is not in the original Hebrew;
however, there can be no doubt as to the crowd’s
intentions
-
that we may know them
carnally.
" (
NKJV)
-
that we may have relations with them.“ (
NASV)
-
that we may know them. (
KJV)
-
that we may know (be intimate with) them. (

You shall not lie with a male as with

Under the Law of Moses
–
Homosexuality was an “abomination”
Leviticus 20:13
-
Homosexual conduct was punishable by death

If a man lies with a male as he
lies with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination.
They shall surely be put to death.
Their blood
shall be
upon them.
HOMOSEXUALITY
Note
•
We do not live under the Law of Moses
•
We have seen that back in those days and even before
homosexuality was described by God as a very grave
sin, which was punishable by death
•
But, how is it dealt with in the New Testament?

who are pushing a homosexual agenda

And such were some of you. But you were
washed, but you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by
the Spirit of our God.
Ireland made history by legalizing same-sex marriage through a popular vote in 2015, leading a wave of about 20 countries that have since followed suit. The movement for LGBTQ+ equality has gained momentum worldwide, with organizations such as the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network and activists like Kevin Jennings working to promote acceptance and rights for the community. New Hope MCC in Alabama stands as a welcoming place for LGBTQ+ individuals who may have faced marginalization in other spaces.
