A message to Believers……
For too long, Scripture has been used as a weapon against people born with same-sex attraction. Many who claim to speak for God have interpreted ancient texts through the lens of modern bias, not divine justice. This deep dive is not an attempt to rewrite the Bible; it is an effort to rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15, NASB) and examine what the Bible truly says—and does not say—about same-sex orientation.
Let us begin with a foundational claim: God does not hate His creation. In Psalm 139:13-14 (NASB), David declares, “For You created my innermost parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made.” If God forms each person with intention and care, how could He simultaneously condemn someone for the way He created them? The idea that God would imbue someone with a particular orientation and then punish them for it contradicts both His justice and His love.
This leads to another truth: Christ did not die for a select type of soul. John 3:16 (NASB) tells us, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” Not “everyone” of a certain sexuality, nationality, or background—but everyone who believes. The Cross does not discriminate. The blood of Jesus is not selective. It is poured out for all who would come to Him in faith.
Many point to the writings of Paul, particularly 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10, where the Greek terms malakoi and arsenokoitai appear. But careful study reveals these words describe actions, not identities. Malakoi, literally meaning “soft,” was used culturally to refer to indulgence, moral weakness, or, at times, the passive partner in exploitative sexual relationships. Arsenokoitai is likely a term coined by Paul, linking the Greek words for “male” (arsēn) and “bed” (koitē), drawn from Leviticus 18:22. However, historical and scholarly consensus suggests the term refers to exploitative practices like temple prostitution, pederasty, or abusive dominance—not loving, consensual relationships. To equate these with all same-sex orientation is to flatten complex Greek terms into a single, inaccurate accusation.
We must also acknowledge what Scripture does not say. Nowhere in the Bible is same-sex orientation condemned. The Bible addresses behaviors, often within the context of idol worship, lust, and abuse. But it never speaks to a person being oriented toward someone of the same sex in a way that is loving, faithful, and covenantal. This silence is not oversight; it reflects the simple truth that ancient writers had no framework for understanding orientation as a biological reality.
And biological it is. The American Psychological Association and countless peer-reviewed studies confirm that same-sex attraction is NOT A CHOICE, a disorder, or a phase. Genetics, prenatal hormone exposure, and early neurological development all contribute to a person’s orientation. If we believe, as Scripture says, that God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10) and that “every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17, NASB), then we cannot in good faith call people’s inherent design a sin.
Jesus Himself modeled radical inclusion and relentless love. He ate with sinners, healed outcasts, and consistently rebuked the religious elite who used the law to oppress others. In Matthew 23, Jesus calls out the Pharisees for their hypocrisy: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness” (v. 23, NASB). The heart of God’s law is not legalism—it is justice. It is mercy. It is faithfulness.
Some argue that the majority opinion should dictate our theology. But truth has never been a popularity contest. The crowd shouted, “Crucify Him!” (Mark 15:13, NASB). And yet Christ endured the cross in love. In John 15:18, He reminds us, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” Consensus does not create truth. God does.
And God does not contradict Himself. He cannot both create someone with immutable desires and condemn them for having those desires. He cannot be both the author of our biology and the executioner of our nature. That would be divine cruelty—not divine love. And our God is love (1 John 4:8).
To condemn a person for being born with same-sex attraction is not biblical Christianity. It is counterfeit faith. It is human judgment wrapped in religious language. The Bible does not teach us to hate; it teaches us to love as Christ loved us—sacrificially, honestly, and without condition.
We are not called to be gatekeepers of the Kingdom. We are called to be ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). That means defending the outcast. That means listening more than shouting. That means replacing the sword of exclusion with the balm of truth.
Because in the end, the Spirit of God will not be silenced by tradition. He speaks still. And He is saying, “Let the one who is thirsty come” (Revelation 22:17, NASB).
Let him who has ears hear. God does not condemn innate biological (born with) orientation, but He does judge willful acts that violate His divine order, His moral design, and the boundaries He established for creation.
