Highlights from our Bible study on 'Youth and LGBTQ+' led by Bro. Joel Nuhu.
We looked at:
1) The arguments in favour of and against LGBTQ+
2) The benefits those who identify with them enjoy
3) How Christian youth should respond to LGBTQ+
4) The place of gender in God's purpose for the world.
These are the arguments against LGBTQ+ according to the Bible:
1) God designed marriage for male and female
Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:4-6
2) Old Testament laws prohibit same-sex acts
Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13
3) New Testament passages speak against same-sex sexual behavior
Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and 1 Timothy 1:9-10
4) Christians are called to holiness and self-control.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, Galatians 5:16-24 and 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
5) The authority of the Bible must be upheld.
2 Timothy 3:16 and Isaiah 40:8
In conclusion, the bible teaches that marriage and sexual relationships were designed by God for a man and a woman, and Christians are called to follow God’s standards for holiness while still treating everyone with love and respect.
