Key passages in bible verses on homosexuality
We begin by looking directly at some of the passages most often brought up when people study bible verses on homosexuality. In this first set, we read the words that many Christians turn to when they ask what the Bible says about same-sex sexual relations. As we read them together, let us remember that the Bible was written in different times and cultures, and that every verse sits inside a bigger story about God and people. We speak plainly: these verses are part of the Bible’s moral teaching and have been understood in different ways by believers across history. We also remember that the Bible calls us to approach truth with humility. So when we read these passages, we ask God for understanding and for hearts that are both faithful to Scripture and full of love for our neighbors. We will not use this study to shame people. Instead, we want to learn what the Bible clearly states about certain behaviors while holding to Christlike care for every person. As we do, we will seek to hear the Bible’s guidance about how we should live, how the church should respond, and how all of us—those who agree and those who disagree—can act with mercy and truth.
