  • Homosexuality and Christianity
rdfs:comment
  • The issue of homosexuality and New Testament Christianity has historically been that of two incompatible doctrines and practices. However, with the rise of Biblical revisionism as well as sexual immorality, liberal writers and activists have sought to sanction homosexuality within Christianity. While exegetical efforts to contradict the traditional position regarding homosexuality and biblical interpretation are shown to be spurious, a number of formerly conservative Christian churches now tolerate or promote homosexuality, with some sanctioning same sex marriage. This has resulted in a necessary division between those who hold to traditional biblical exegesis as regards homosexuality, versus those who subscribe to the revisionist rendering of the issue.
