When sins are approved past times culture, people manipulate Scripture to “prove” that Christians accept misunderstood biblical passages for thousands of years.(1)
That’s why faux teachings most homosexuality are gaining ground.
One of these teachings claims the devastation of Sodom as well as Gomorrah wasn't related to homosexuality.
They indicate out that Ezekiel 16:48-50 lists Sodom as well as Gomorrah's sins every bit arrogance, selfishness, as well as other “detestable” things, exactly doesn't specifically lift homosexuality.(2)
Then, alongside fantastically twisted eisegesis,(3) they endeavour to explicate away:
2. Multiple New Testament passages listing homosexuality every bit a serious sin (Romans 1:26-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; Jude 1:7).
3. God’s clear blueprint for sexual activity betwixt a adult man as well as adult woman married to each other (Genesis 2:18-25; Mark 10:6-9; 1 Corinthians 7:2).
God's commands are loving as well as wise. When nosotros portion them graciously, nosotros limited God's dear (Colossians 4:6).(4)
----------------------
(1) This is an absurd foundation for whatever teaching. It agency God allowed His children to believe a faux sentiment of human sexuality for thousands of years despite the humble, honest Bible enquiry done past times Christians throughout history. Whenever doctrine is changed to adapt culture, nosotros tin move endure confident it is non the Bible that has been misunderstood.
(2) This quote from GotQuestion.org explains Ezekiel 16:48-50: "The Hebrew give-and-take translated 'detestable' refers to something that is morally disgusting as well as is the exact same give-and-take used inwards Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality every bit an 'abomination.' Similarly, Jude seven declares, '...Sodom as well as Gomorrah as well as the surrounding towns gave themselves upwards to sexual immorality as well as perversion.' So, again, piece homosexuality was non the solely sin inwards which the cities of Sodom as well as Gomorrah indulged, it does seem to endure the original argue for the devastation of the cities."
(3) This agency you lot come upwards to Scripture alongside an agenda as well as explicate the meaning, non according to the context, exactly according to your agenda (What is the divergence betwixt exegesis as well as eisegesis?). See also: What was the sin of Sodom as well as Gomorrah?
(4) There are individuals as well as groups who produce rude, mean-spirited things against homosexuals. Even if these people claim to endure Christian, they are non representing the gospel. Genuine believers are neither harsh nor permissive most sin. Being salt as well as light means loving people every bit God loves them - non beingness afraid to address sins that harm people's hearts as well as souls exactly doing as well as thence alongside kindness as well as grace. Going alongside the period of time is popular, exactly it's non loving.
