The arguments sound quite compelling.” Jesus never talked about same-sex relationships.” “Paul was only condemning exploitative relationships, not consensual ones.” “We don’t keep the Old Testament food laws, so why would we keep the ones on same-sex sex?” “If God is love, he can’t be against relationships of love.” And more. Have Christians through the ages just been getting this one wrong?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this concise book, Rebecca McLaughlin looks at ten of the most common arguments used to claim that the Bible affirms same-sex sexual relationships. She analyses the arguments and associated Bible passages one by one to uncover what the Bible really says. For Rebecca, as someone with a lifelong history of same-sex attraction, this is not just an academic question. But rather than concluding that the Bible does affirm same-sex marriage, she points readers to the gospel purpose of male-female marriage, a different kind of gospel-centred love between believers of the same sex, and God’s life-and-love-filled vision for singleness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Good Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55192721097084,"sku":"","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/3866\/3995\/files\/DoestheBibleAffirmSame-SexRelationships.jpg?v=1746536231","url":"https:\/\/www.evangelicalbooks.com\/products\/does-the-bible-affirm-same-sex-relationships","provider":"Evangelical Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
