Bible and Homosexuality is a channel that looks at what the Bible says (and doesn't say) about homosexuality, sexuality and gender.
What does the Bible say about homosexuality? What do scholars say about homosexuality in the Bible? And what does the Bible say about transgender people? How should we understand the verses about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin? What about lesbian women, bisexual people, intersex people, those who identify as queer?
The Bible and Homosexuality channel is an accessible way to know more about what the Bible means for Christians who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex or queer (LGBTIQ+). It combines easy to understand presentations underpinned by academic rigour.
The channel is linked to a website - www.bibleandhomosexuality.org - which provides links to the scholarship that lies behind the video.

What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Nothing - at least, nothing directly. Find out why by watching the video.
I explain why what we think might be the 'plain meaning of scripture' can mislead us when looking at ancient understandings of sexuality, and what that means when using scripture to talk about the Bible and homosexuality or same-sex attraction.

What does the Bible say about transgender people?

What does the Bible say about transgender people? What are the three building blocks that those opposed base their arguments upon? And why are these really poor arguments? The video tackles three common arguments used by people against transgender Christians. These are that God made two distinct biological sexes; that God does not make mistakes; and that gender confusion is bad. I show why each...

Does St Paul condemn all homosexuality, both those who are lesbian and those who are gay, in Romans 1? These are probably the most important verses in the entire Bible for this issue. But I think non-affirming interpretations are wrong. This video explains why. For those looking to understand more about homosexuality in the Bible, Romans 1:26-27 are key verses.

He in lies the rub … when the text describes it it is clearly in the context of a mutually consensual relationship in which both parties are condemned .
Discusting that you would assault God's word and change the truth into your lies. Homosexuals and men with men is disgusting to God. Why would you do such things? Do you not fear God?
Satan and his followers read the bible too. Satan approves this video 👏👏👏.
Of course it does! Don't try to justify your perv.
Is God saying that or is Paul saying that
😂😂😂 This video is meant to advocate a punk party 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
I think the most convincing piece of evidence is the interpretation of pederasty from that 2nd century Christian. That is undeniable evidence that interpreting the bible as something other than an explicitly anti-homosexual book is not something that was invented recently.
I am from Poland, I try to understand all of your movies, but I have overthinking due to autism and Asperger's syndrome. It is good, that you have done these films, thank you.
Love all your videos! Thank you much! ❤
A man shall not lay with a man as he diea a woman, is that clear enough for you ?
NICE!!!❤😊 This video was especially insightful for me being a Trinitarian believing Transwoman myself. I loved the part where you refuted the argument that our identity must be in line with our body using scripture. 😁😁❤❤ I am also reminded of how CS Lewis talked about the Shadowlands in the Chronicles of Narnia series. Isn't our physycal bodies representations or shadows of our spiritual existence and not vice-versa? Now you mentioned how scripture teaches about the treasure in our bodies of clay, I am thinking along those lines as well. Definitely need to buy your book sometime! 😊😊❤❤❤
You’re so valid! (Coming from a genderfluid transmasc myself!) God bless you! ❤
Context is key!
Very interesting perspective. I would challenge that your argument for "the culture of the time" falls apart with these simple verses. I am receptive to hear your rebuttal. Malachi 3:6: "I am the LORD; I change not" Numbers 23:19: "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind" First Samuel 15:29: "He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind" Psalm 102:27: "But You are the same, And Your years will have no end" Psalm 119:89: "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven"
Hi, thank you for your comment. I am happy to affirm that God does not change, that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. But we do change, and so God's message to us is appropriate to our own time and culture, and is different at different points. So I see absolutely no contradiction between saying that God never changes, and that Paul was addressing a particular phenomenon in his culture which is different from our culture. Hope this helps.
@@BibleandHomosexuality the very tangible consequences that homosexuality still HAS on individual and society is a very clear proof that God’s prohibition of homosexuality still apply.
God hates murder, homosexuality, and abortion. He doesn't want us to steal, get drunk, or do drugs.

@@heinmolenaar6750I don't support things like incest, fornication, Sodom & Gomorrah, abortion or any of those things you said, because they're all bad and disgusting.
Hi, I have another video about Sodom and Gomorrah. Check it out. On Leviticus, I am left doubting you if you can't back up your viewpoint with any arguments. Why should I (or anyone) take your word about anything?
Christians seem to be focused on Paul. Jesus is my savior and he said nothing about it. Paul was a single man and he had a lot of anger. He is suspect as a self hating closet case. I line the gospels and the sermon on the mount and not the letters Paul sent to the churches.
We must not forget the fact that Paul was a rigorist Pharisaic scholar and study a lot about Torah. I mean, Paul is not Jesus himself. Even Jacob and Paul is contradicting. Despite these two person are authors of holy scriptures. Is holy spirit confusing? I must say Jesus never condemn homosexuality.
Jacob and Paul might have different emphasis, but they do not contradict, unless you have trouble understanding rhetoric, hyperbole and nuance.
The Talmud and Tanak are books of instruction for morality. In Hebrew there is no word ‘ Bible ‘ Gentiles are not obligated to follow Jewish ✡️ law.

@@BibleandHomosexuality I don't need your video,I know the bible says homosexuality is a sin.
That's a lot of confidence in your ability to interpret the Bible without engaging with other viewpoints.
"He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?" - Matthew 19:4-5 There is not a single verse in the entire Bible that ever even entertains the possibility of a Man having a "Husband". Marriage is defined between a man and women and any form of sex, whether man with man, man with women, or women with women, outside of marriage, is automatically sexual immorality. So even if there wasnt a single verse mentioning anything about homosexuality, it's still a sin. You've really got to twist scripture hard to justify this sin. Even the Catholics don't go this far.
Marriage in the Bible varies and is defined by prevailing culture. The reason there's no mention of two men/women is purely cultural. The foundational text Gen 2 is fully consistent with gay marriage. You've really got to twist scripture to justify the sin of homofobia.
Who was St Paul?
The Bible actually does talk about transgenderism. Mattew 8:17 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”[a]
Thank you for what you do, God Bless you.
Why did sadomn burn😅😅😅
A topic that always intrigued me was the demonization of LGBTQs. I often heared that demons are the reason for being queer and that bad parent figures or sexual trauma are "door-opener" for those "confusions". In my opinion it is very hard to counter argument against this, because those are claims without any biblical explanations nor facts. In science there is no correlation between beeing queer and sexual trauma. How would you argument in this topic? Do you have any thoughts?
It's difficult to argue when there's just claims without evidence. Sometimes I ask them to back up their claims with evidence.
Friends I want to tell you today that the TRUE Gospel is one of good news! And the news is that Jesus, The Messiah came into our world, died a criminals death, suffered in hell for three days and rose again where He now sits at the right hand of the Father He did this to save the world from their sins, not to condemn it, as it says in John 3:17 "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him" Jesus is not angry at you and He does not hate you. He did not come for you to just follow a lifeless religion but came so He can have in intimate personal relationship with you! Jesus said He will never turn away those who come to Him as it says in John 6:37 "All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away". All you have to do is repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives] and put your trust in what Jesus did on the cross, openly confess Him as your Lord and Savior and give your life to Him and you WILL be saved! Romans 10:9 " If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" My friends, neither Pantheism, Panentheism or Universalism will save you, for in John 14:6 "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And again, Acts 4:12 tells us "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” The 66 books of the Bible are the written Word of God. The Bible is divinely inspired and inerrant throughout. Its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs. It is the supreme authority in everything it teaches. Its authority is not limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes but includes its assertions in such fields as history and science. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" 2 Timothy 3:16 Please do not let progressive christians decieve you. I love You and Jesus loves you!
The 66 or more (depending on the denomination) books of the Bible are documents created by human beings seeking to work out what it means to be people of god. They may be divinely inspired in some sense, but they are certainly not inerrant by any stretch of the imagination, most especially in history and science. While scripture is "useful for training in righteousness", it should not be followed blindly and uncritically, as Jesus himself taught. I assure you that you yourself do not follow everything in the Bible. How is this relevant when even taken at face value, the Bible says nothing whatsoever against committed loving gay relationships?
Enlightening
The bible *DOES NOT CONDEMN LOANING MONEY!!* It condemns *USURY which is EXORBIANT INTEREST.* Usury is lending money at EXORBIANT interest rates. Homosexuality is CLEARLY CONDEMNED, you cannot misinterpret those verses as anything else.
Until some time after Calvin, the Church had uniformally condemned ALL money-lending at interest, and did it on the basis of the Bible. Defining 'usury' as exorbitant interest came as a result of people like Calvin deciding that the Bible was talking about something different from non-oppressive forms of loans. Exactly the same dynamic as we are talking about with the Bible and homosexuality.
What exactly would the bible have to say for you to believe these acts are sinful?? 🤷
Well, for a start if it was actually talking about what we are talking about today - faithful, monogamous, same-sex relationships between people who by nature are gay. But it doesn't talk about this, anywhere. So I go to the principles that come from the Bible: is it loving or not? And I don't find it loving to deny people the opportunity to have a faithful, monogamous, loving relationship that we allow to straight people. So I find denying same-sex couples to be unbiblical. Hope this helps.
@@BibleandHomosexuality So are you referring to a celibate relationship then, since the Word is clear on the physical "relations"? 🤔
I don't think the Word is clear in the way you think it is. No, I am not referring to celibate relationships. I believe that celibacy is a particular calling, and few are called to it. I do not believe that being gay (any more than being straight) means you are called to celibacy.
No one exegetes and explains these things better than Robert A.J. Gagnon, PhD. I highly recommend his videos and books for a very detailed scholarly explanation.
I have serious issues with a number of claims that Gagnon makes. He has a tendency, in my view, to build large castles with foundations of sand.
@@BibleandHomosexuality I'm not surprised. We'll have to disagree on his work then. If there is a more researched, detailed, and scholarly work on the topic, I am unaware of it.
I love you 🫶
Sounds like you are just trying to justify your sins and enjoyment of those who participate in them.
Why do you assume I am gay? Given I am not, I suppose that strengthens the arguments I am making by your logic.
You tried hard to twist it and put your personal interpretation on it, tried to change the actual definition of words and it still didn't make sense
Christians don"t follow the ancient jewish laws of leviticus. The laws of leviticus are outdated and completely idiotic. Some of these laws are nowadays even crimes. I hope you never eaten shellfish or you'll burn in everlasting flames. How can you take leviticus/bible seriously? But christians love to quote leviticus to attack gays. A fool's faith is dangerous. A fool will always misuse his faith out of his foolishness. Leviticus : when a man lie with a man as with a woman.....I shall lie with whomever I please. It's n'one of anyone's business.
Sorry you found some of it unclear. Let me know which bits you didn't understand.
Im not sure what Bible you're reading but money lending is covered in Leviticus and Exodus and God/Jesus repeatedly told us to give to the poor... Mm Money leading was very much ok with God. I see this a lot, folks rught out make claims that are simply not true, or they begin their point by changing the literal definitions of words all together. People will say "oh When God said homosexuality is an "abomination" the word "abomination " actually meant "desirable act" in their times" and then just kinda act like they made a real point.
Loaning money without charging interest was OK, and so was giving to the poor, but charging any interest at all was not. So something like a mortgage would be condemned as evil. I agree that the word 'abomination' is in the Bible - but the word 'homosexuality' is not in the Bible.

All sex crimes committed by heterosexuals are okay according to the bible.

@@zacharyrivas8074okay , there we go my sweet. The bible condones rape, incest, polygamy, slavery, murder, racism, stoning, trafficking in women, female circumcision, abortion, and even genocide. No book of antiquity incites so much discrimination, contempt and murder as the bible. Jahweh (Lord Jehovah) accounted for millions of deaths in the bible, shows himself as a ruthless serial killer and psychopath that Hitler and Stalin must have learned a lot. There are no words other than Jesus and God that have been so horribly misused for 2000 years for manipulating and abusing people. That this leads to slavery, oppression, discrimination, display of power, murder and genocide should not suprise anyone. Because the exuse is based on the metaphysical text of the bible, and that seems to justify everything. It's in fact a great deception.
