Dear His Way Out Ministries…
If God is love, then what’s wrong with a man loving another man or a woman loving a woman?
Yes, you are correct. Scripture clearly teaches that “God is love.” (1 John 4:16) But the Scripture cannot be rewritten or twisted to support a behavior that clearly contradicts other verses that establish God’s holy boundary lines with regard to sexual expression and intimacy. Today, unfortunately, there are those seeing the indulgence of same-sex partnerships as ‘tolerance,’ but that is not the Lord’s view whatsoever. As the Apostle Paul says, “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
