Summary
- The New Testament mentions homosexuality in a few key passages, such as Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and 1 Timothy 1:10.
- These passages generally view homosexual behavior as sinful or contrary to God’s design for human sexuality.
- However, it is important to interpret these verses in their historical and cultural context, understanding that the concept of sexual orientation as we understand it today was not prevalent during biblical times.
- Some scholars argue that the focus of these passages is primarily on exploitative or promiscuous same-sex relations rather than loving, committed relationships.
- There is an ongoing debate on whether to interpret these passages regarding the homosexual question as a code of holiness, or a code of Justice
