Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Christian church has often played a role in pushing away gay people, as many who are attracted to the same sex are raised in conservative Christian homes and are made to feel like monsters. #2 The question of homosexuality has caused me to rethink the church's stance on it. As I read the Gospels, I see people drawing near to Jesus, regardless of their status. The people who are most repelled by Jesus are the religious hypocrites. #3 There are only six passages in the Bible that seem to say that homosexual behavior is wrong. And even with those six, there is a massive debate about whether those passages can apply to monogamous, consensual, loving gay relations. #4 The debate is not about what the Bible says, but what the Bible means. Most scholars who have written books about homosexuality in the last forty years have concluded that the Bible does not condemn consensual, monogamous, same-sex relations.
