No, this is not a "baiting" question. My Church is dealing with this issue front and centre. My Church is in the process of trying to decide if we should bless same sex unions and ordain openly gay people to clergy.
Actually, its a little more vague than that at time, because we have also been in the process of trying to decide HOW to decide. Do we look at scripture? Tradition? Reason? Its a real stuggle for many people.
I think I count myself among a very, very large number of Christians in North America when I say that this has never been an issue of great importance to me, and it has never effected me personally.
Nevertheless, I would like some definitive answer to the issue. Is there any place in scripture where homosexuality is condemned in no uncertain terms? Is it condemed irrefutably?
Many scholars have challanged certain passages which are often used to suggest that God dissaproves of homosexuality.
Any honest and well considered answers would be appreciated.
