I Delight in Your Law
1. I figured if I cowered away from this topic then I would be feeding into the taboo nature this topic has become.
a. My heart goes out to all in the LGBTQ community for how the Church has forsaken love for self-righteous judgement.
b. I do not claim to have all the answers or understand completely what it means to be attracted to the same sex, but what we have is God’s Word and what he has/is intending for his people.
2. Context
a. Leviticus 18:22 & Leviticus 20:13
i. Sounds harsh but God was setting his people apart from the surrounding nations.
b. There is a great contemporary linguistic debate going on over the origins and proper meaning of arsenokoitai, the Greek word Paul uses in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10.
i. Most scholars believe Paul, an educated Jew writing to Gentiles, was reinforcing what was instructed in Leviticus.
c. Both Jesus and Paul make no attempt to nullify ‘man lying with man’. In fact, Christ would take the law even further to express humanity’s need for a savior and the grace that was coming from his death/resurrection (Matthew 5:28).
3. My issues with the argument
a. Christians think it is a sin set apart from other sins
b. LGBTQ community argues that because it is how they were born or wired, and its true love how can it be a sin?
i. Born with certain inclinations does not justify the action
ii. Using “love” as justification
iii. Mark 8:34-38
4. Not to glorify God as God is in effect, not to glorify him at all…
a. Jeremiah 29:13
b. Psalm 119:97-104
c. 1 John 5:3
5. Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been
a. “The deception was in believing that the tree was more satisfying to the body and more pleasurable to the sight than God” – Jackie Hill Perry
