If we really want to win the homosexuality debate, we have to confront the biblical passages here. They are based, in part, on biblical misreadings or mistranslations. I think this can be won theologically, however irrelevant that debate to public policy. So long as Christianity = anti-gay, the slide towards irrelevance will continue. Senator Portman, Homosexual Marriage, and the Death of Principle | RedState: First, Christian opposition to homosexuality does not depend upon one’s “faith tradition” but upon the unchanging Word of God. Scripture explicitly condemns homosexuality in Genesis 19 (Sodom and Gomorrah), Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, Romans 1:18-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:3-5, 1 Timothy 1:9-10, and Jude 7. Homosexuality is not a subject on which Scripture is silent. It is not up for debate or interpretation – the language is clear. What Senator Portman now supports is in direct defiance to the Word of God.
