27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Genesis 1:27-28
Q & A：
- Knowing that God ordained natural family unit in society where a man and a woman consummate their marriage and bear children, explain what is God’s view on homosexuality as shown in the Old Testament? (Gen 1:27-28; Gen 19:4-5, 24; Lev 18:22; Lev 20:13)
- With the passage in Romans as God gave the people up to vile passions and unnatural appetite, explain why homosexuality is such an abomination in the eyes of God. What is the Biblical stand on wrong and sin, and how should we react when the society is forcing us accept their alternative lifestyles and to conform to the worldly standard? (Rom 1:26-28, 32; 1 Cor 6:9)
- As Jesus lived and ate with sinners without condoning their sins or lifestyle, discuss how we can make a stand as Christians that homosexuality is unnatural, without being judgmental towards them but be gracious to befriend them and take time to minister to them when the opportunity arises. (Rom 3:23; John 3:17; Rom 5:6; Matt 9:11-13)
