What the Bible Says – And Doesn’t Say – About Homosexuality
by Rev. Mel White, co-founder of SoulforceA Biblical response to the question people often ask… “How can you consider yourself a Christian when you are also gay?”
In this 24-page booklet, Mel White puts forward these eight premises:
- Most people have not carefully and prayerfully researched the Biblical texts used by some people to condemn God’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children.
- Historically, people’s misinterpretation of the Bible has left a trail of suffering, bloodshed, and death.
- We should be open to new truth from Scripture. Even heroes of the Christian faith have changed their minds about the meaning of various Biblical texts.
- The Bible is a book about God. The Bible is not a book about human sexuality.
- We miss what these passages say about God when we spend so much time debating what they say about sex.
- The Biblical authors are silent about homosexual orientation as we know it today. They neither approve it nor condemn it.
- The prophets, Jesus, and the Biblical authors say nothing about homosexual orientation as we understand it today. But, they are clear about this one thing. As we search for truth, we are to “Love one another.”
- Whatever some people believe the Bible seems to say about homosexuality, they must not use that belief to deny homosexuals their basic civil rights. To discriminate against sexual or gender minorities is unjust and un-American.

Obama's Hollow Pride
Read Obama’s latest apologetic BS. I mean- look at this logo- you can drive a truck through it, as you could his weak argument for inclusivity. Obama welcomes all points of view in his campaign- even homophobic ones. Imagine the uproar if Michael Richards joined the Clinton or Edwards campaign.
Obama Campaigns With 'Ex-Gay' McClurkin
Read Rod 2.0 and AMERICAblog.com. Why should I be surprised or expect any less from a Black politician? Covering all the bases? Perhaps Tim Hardaway should join the fray? Is Anita Bryant still alive? So many questions, so little qualified Democratic candidates. It’s scary to think that Rudy Giuliani is our best advocate. Let’s not forget that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and the Ban on HIV/AIDS Immigration occurred under the Clinton Administration. Hillary doesn’t even mention LGBTQ issues on her website. I guess she’s comfortable enough with her polls that she can sit on her duff on LGBTQ issues. Who is Mike Gravel?
