Homosexuality In The Bible And Judeo-Christianity

97 Words1 Pages
Christianity is scripturally locked into the concept that God views homosexuality as an abomination. There are many verses in both the Old and New Testament confirming this point. If the churches accept homosexuality as an authentic alternative lifestyle, it would be an admission that the scriptures are wrong. However, to hold fast on this issue will further alienate the growing tide of people, most notably the young, who view it as a matter of equality. Christianity loses no matter which direction it goes. And the Bible and Judeo-Christianity lose credibility for not having foresight on this issue.

The first half of the novel is about Peterson’s theory that the sin of Sodom is regarding the people’s homosexuality. Chapter one discredits the common myths and theories behind the different interpretations of homosexuality within the Bible. Some biblical scholars avoid and belittle the seriousness of the matter due to their experience with some sort of close friend or family member that has struggled with homosexuality. In these cases, scholars create a gray area about whether or not God actually condemns same-sex relationships and marriages (pg. 2). Peterson even refutes ideas concerning the frequency of homosexuality in the Bible and how some scholars conclude that it directly links to importance.
