Doubts Aloud Podcast

Show NotesWe do a tour of the Bible and its material on same-sex relationships and sexual practice. We find that the story of Sodom isn’t the place to start and the OT Law has issues with interpretation. Jesus didn’t directly teach on the subject and so we spend more time with the references to it by Paul, in a long passage in Romans 1 (v 18-32) and a shorter one in 1Corinthians6v9. 1Tim1v10 is similar to the Corinthians one. Can we see Paul as condemning all same-sex practice?How this works out in Christian teaching and attitudes and the lack of a consistency was also worth pursuing. Next time we’ll carry on with material from Frances on the details of the Leviticus verses and the history behind them.Links:Was 1Corinthians6v9 just speaking of older men and teenage boys?https://biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/bsac/homosexuality_corinthians6.pdfThe married couple on the England women’s cricket team:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/cricket/64665943 The recent Unbelievable Show “Twoviews on LGBT and the Church - Andrew
