67. Deconstructing Homosexuality Pt. 3 (Themes That Inform the Discussion--Patriarchy, "One Flesh," Procreation, and Celibacy)

Welcome to Season 4 of Deconstructing the Myth! Today, host Liz Mall (MA of Christian Apologetics, Biola) brings you another research episode to help you on your deconstruction journey. In this episode we touch on four key concepts in the Bible that tie into the homosexuality discussion: patriarchy, "one flesh," procreation, and celibacy. These concepts, in addition to our understanding of "marriage," often deeply inform how we approach and apply passages concerning homosexuality in the Bible.We reference the books ⁠Bible, Gender, Sexuality: Reframing the Church's Debate on Same-Sex Relationships⁠ by James V. Brownson and Same-Sex Marriage: A Thoughtful Approach to God's Design for Marriage (Thoughtful Response) by Sean McDowell and John StonestreetFor a detailed compilation of this season's show notes in one place, check out Patreon and consider supporting us there financially to help keep the lights on (and for additional perks and opportunities!)
