Dale Partridge - What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality？

00:00:00.000 So, as we know, homosexuality is a sin that permeates our modern culture, that's confronting

00:00:09.400 the church aggressively, and I believe it's important that we understand what the Bible's

00:00:14.160 perspective is on this matter of the perversion of sexual relations. So, first, to be clear,

00:00:20.280 this isn't a new position in Scripture. Homosexuality has been forbidden by God 0.99

00:00:24.940 since the very beginning of the Old Testament. 1.00

00:00:28.500 We go back even to Leviticus 18.22.

00:00:31.560 It says, quote, 0.85

00:00:32.540 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. 1.00

00:00:35.680 It is an abomination. 0.85

00:00:36.980 That word abomination is one of the strongest words in Scripture.

00:00:41.160 It's almost hard to translate how intense that verbiage is.

00:00:47.240 But it says, 0.99

00:00:47.880 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. 0.74

00:00:51.220 It is an abomination. 1.00

00:00:53.360 1 Corinthians 6, 9 through 10 says,

00:00:57.180 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

00:01:03.260 Do not be deceived. 0.92

00:01:05.800 Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 0.98

00:01:12.100 nor thieves, nor greedy, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers 0.99

00:01:16.160 will inherit the kingdom of God.

00:01:19.060 End quote.

00:01:19.780 1 Timothy 1.10. 0.95

00:01:21.080 the sexually immoral, quote, or comma, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, 0.88

00:01:29.240 perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine. Homosexuality is forbidden 0.99

00:01:35.340 cover to back cover in scripture. Kevin DeYoung, in his book, Homosexuality, writes,

00:01:42.220 quote, from the first chapters of the Bible to the Torah to the New Testament, there is no hint

00:01:47.740 that homosexuality is acceptable behavior for God's people. To think the Bible affirms

00:01:54.360 homosexuality takes more than special pleading. It requires a denial of the plain teaching of

00:02:01.500 scripture, end quote. Okay, guys, just, there's just a firm evidence, ultimate clarity. When you

00:02:10.680 look at the historical, cultural, grammatical context of homosexuality, there is no possible

00:02:16.880 way that you can twist and do theological gymnastics to make homosexuality an accepted

00:02:22.840 act for the Christian life.
