Does the Bible Actually Condemn Homosexuality?

from Following Jesus · host David Cipriano

Did you know that the word "homosexual" didn't appear in any Bible until 1946? And that none of the verses often weaponized against LGBTQ+ people actually refer to sexual orientation or gender identity as we understand them today? At least, that’s what people like Jen Johannsen are claiming. But in this video, I’m going to show you what liberals and progressives are getting wrong about homosexuality in the Bible, and that yes, the Bible does actually condemn homosexuality.Related Videos:What Progressive Christians Get Wrong About Homosexuality - https://youtu.be/n9eOw_kNzX4The 15-Minute Case Against Abortion - https://youtu.be/7Haq0UtRbpAHey!
