What does the Bible say about homosexuality? What did Jesus say about gay people?
Two sentences in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, have been translated and interpreted to mean that if a man has sex with another man, it is an abomination. Recent interpretations imply that this was a proscription against rape, rather than a proscription against loving same-sex relationships. There is no mention of homosexual relationships or lesbians at all in the Hebrew Bible. In the past few years, more evangelical conservatives have changed their position against homosexuality. Prof. of Theology Emeritus Dr. Jack Rogers’ book “Jesus, the Bible and Homosexuality” is the latest to examine the issues. In the Bible, Jesus condemned divorce, but said not a single word about homosexuality.
