Episode notes
Why People Ask About Jesus And Homosexuality
- Many people ask whether Jesus spoke about homosexuality because they seek authority for their views.
- Koukl notes this often is self-serving: people appeal to Jesus only if it supports their preferences.
How To Respond To The 'Jesus Never Said' Claim
- If challenged that Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, reply that silence on an issue proves nothing; use Jesus' appeal to Genesis instead.
- Point to Matthew 19: Jesus defines marriage as male–female one-flesh and says not to separate what God joined.
Parable About The Panel Discussion
- Listener Dawn wrote a parable likening Greg's Diary of a CEO panel to three men floating on the sea: an atheist, a spiritualist, and a Christian.
- The Christian rests in a life preserver given earlier and urges the others to grab the vest within reach.
