The Historically Christian View of Marriage: Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2024
- Preston continues his discussion of marriage and same-sex sexual relations. See the previous podcast for part 1. In this second part, Preston responds to several of the most popular affirming arguments (i.e. arguments in favor of same-sex marriage from a biblical and theological perspective). These arguments are: 1) the prohibition passages only apply to nonconsensual sexual relations, 2) the traditional view of marriage is harmful toward LGBTQ people, 3) the argument from orientation, 4) the term “homosexual” isn’t in the original text, 5) God’s acceptance of Gentiles mirrors God’s acceptance of gay people, 6) Jesus’s treatment of the Sabbath command.

Preston you’re incredible depth of thinking yet breadth of loving is continually inspiring
This is very helpful! I think you represent the affirming arguments very fairly and compassionately. If you've heard the affirming arguments, I recommend you check this out, even if you end up disagreeing with Preston.
Preston, thank you thank you thank you for the work you do. I’ve been listening and sharing your videos with my friends for months. Happy to have found you!!
41:41 The problem I have with this view is you could say the same thing for sexual immorality as a whole. People have varying degrees of temptation towards pornography, cheating, promiscuity etc. So homosexual isn't being given a different usage here considering sexually immoral interpreted as having sexually immoral temptations would prevent %90+ of male Christians from entering the Kingdom of God.
To put this in perspective, as I can see that you and others are emotionally challenged by this, do alcoholics ever stop being alcoholics?
I haven't taken a survey but when I have spoken to recovering alcoholics they still consider themselves alcoholics, but I wouldn't say they are drunkards. You can argue the translation should clarify 'practicing homosexual' but I really think this concern comes from people fixating on that one type of sin and failing to identify that all of these sins have passive temptations that vary from one person to the next. James 1;12-18 helps.
Throughly enjoyed your series on marriage. Could you please deal with the LGBTQ’s Views and how to think and respond appropriately to their needs. Thanks.
Preston
Intellectually, I learned a great deal about the Biblical view of marriage and how to refute some of the arguments made by those who wish to change the Bible to suit their sexual appetites. What struck me most is your tender heart for those struggling with same sex attraction and the admonition to love and accept them into our churches and circles.
You helped me so much changing and developing my viewpoint on homosexuality and the church. Thank you so much!
So good! Thank you Preston.
My definition of marriage: biblical marriage is the transfer of a woman from her father's household and control into her husband's for his exclusive reproductive use. Modern marriage is the union of two households with the creation family ties based on the couple in the center. It deals with subjects like who takes care of the children, who pays the taxes, who makes the medical decisions. The biblical view of sexual relations has zilch to say about marriage.
You: "Biblical marriage is the transfer of a woman from her father's household and control into her husband's for his exclusive reproductive use"
The actual Bible: " the husband also does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does" 1 Corinthians 7:4
You present a caricature of what biblical marriage is.
Please consider listening to part 1 or just reading the Scriptures before assuming what they say.
