Becoming Whole Gay or Same-Sex Attracted – The Words Matter
We’re weighing in on a continuing conversation of language because the words matter.
Join us as Josh unpacks the terms “Gay Christian” and “Christian with Same Sex Attraction.”
Followers of Jesus who hold a traditional view of God’s design for sexuality, can split when it comes to the wording. We’ll explore how language elevates orientation to the same status as belief in Jesus.
We are beloved, image-bearers of God and need to be aware of labels that can limit our core identity.
While this may not be a personal issue for you, we encourage you to stay as this is a “person” issue. And we want to care for the full body of Christ together with dignity and honor.
Highlights:
Our bodies, our maleness and femaleness make VISIBLE something of God’s invisible attributes.
Wording can de-emphasize the biological, heterosexual design of your body.
Be aware of how language elevates orientation to the same status as belief in Jesus.
