But let’s put it into context here. What are some of the verses…
All ancient religions and cultures developed creation stories including the Amorites, Canannites and Babylonians, all which predate the creation story found in Genesis 1-2. These ancient stories tell of how the world came into being, who their deities were and how their deities played a part in the forming of the world and in relating…
Many of us are painfully aware that two of the most-used Bible verses against gays are Romans 1:26,27. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.

Struggle against homosexual desire may have inspired Paul the Apostle to write sublime Biblical teachings on unconditional love and inclusivity — and also a few “clobber passages” used by anti-LGBTQ bigots.

“I’m glad you did as Jesus instructed us to do and came to me directly. I think that you and I simply disagree on one doctrine. I don’t mind sharing my understanding of that with you, but I don’t think it’s likely that you and I are going to agree on this one issue. That’s…
As cities and communities around the United States celebrate Pride Month this June, LGBTQ and straight Christians alike look to their faith for answers about how to engage in our increasingly pro-LGBTQ culture.

If the word homosexual appears in your Bible in either passage then you have a version that was written after 1946.

“I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both…

We all know about Sodom. People who’ve never picked up a Bible have used the story of Sodom and its fiery demise as condemnation against homosexuality and here’s just one example from an email I received from someone who had a less than favorable view of homosexuality: “There is a story in the bible, i…

Why Churches Should Welcome and Fully Affirm Christian GLBTs “It terrified me to think that God made me just to hate me and send me to hell.” This was the response of a teenager to hearing his pastor tell the congregation that the Bible says God hates homosexuals and will send them to hell. He…
~ by Rev Bruce Lowe Note from Mary: Rev Bruce Lowe was the first person to “believe” in ChristianGays.com. In 2000, he sent me a cheque for $300, and encouraged me to put a Donations page on the website. I was reluctant, but he convinced me that others would want to help support a ministry…
~ by Rev Bruce Lowe The condemnation of gay men and lesbian women by the church, is destroying – literally – the worth of millions – again literally – of homosexuals by robbing them of all self-esteem, forcing them to live in closets in constant fear that will be found out, driving them out of…
Last August, we had a special Sunday in church called “Burning Questions,” in which I responded, on an impromptu basis, to written questions from the congregation. At that time, I also promised to preach a series of sermons later in the year that would specifically address the top three, or most-asked questions submitted on that…
