The Bible and Homosexuality: Introduction

There’s been a lot of renewed dis­cus­sion (read: debate) over what the Bible says con­cern­ing homo­sex­u­al­ity, espe­cially where the “clob­ber verses” (listed below) are con­cerned. As it’s begin­ning to come up time and time again, I fig­ured I would exam­ine the clob­ber verses, both views for and against, and see if we, or I, can con­clude where exactly the bible stands in regard to this issue (how­ever obvi­ous it may be for some on both sides). I’ll prob­a­bly get one post in this series writ­ten every week, but we’ll see for sure what happens.

So then, this just serves as the (very) brief introduction.

Con­clu­sion

**Dis­claimer: I want to make clear that the express pur­pose of this series is the exam­i­na­tion and expla­na­tion of a reli­gious text (in this case, the Chris­t­ian bible). The pro­mo­tion of hate towards any group (iden­ti­fi­able or oth­er­wise) is a gross abuse of this mate­r­ial and is against the inten­tions and pur­poses of its author.
