If you are a gay (lgb...) christian, how do you personally interpret the bible in light of sexual attraction and intimacy between two christians of the same sex?
I go to another site where some gay christians say that the bible doesn't speak against homosexuality since the bible speaks of a god of love not of hate. Consequently, whoever a person loves and is intimate with do so not because of one's sex but because they both see god in the person they are with. While there are such people as gay christians, their relationship with god aside, how do you as a gay christian interpret the bible in light of sexual attraction and intimacy between two christians of the same sex?
If it is a sin, please explain.
If it's not, please explain.
I guess if there are no gay christians here, those who want to play devil's advocate (in a good way) are open to share their interpretation "in light of" christian views (especially if you were formally raised as such).
Here's a link on biblical views seen from "some" gay affirming churches by interpreting scripture supports homosexuality in context and usage of the word Homosexuality and the Bible | GayChurch.org I personally understand why homosexuality is a sin as an education means but, if going by tradition, I don't agree with it. So, I cannot argue that it is a sin or not, just wanted to know how gay christians interpret it.The Bible, Christianity and Homosexuality | GayChurch.org
Oh. I had to put this in religious debate since there's no other section I can find to talk about difficult topics without people feeling they need to debate about it only because of the thread's category.
