Alex D. Montoya

In respect to homosexuality and the Bible, sound Bible exegesis and Bible exposition demonstrates that the Bible condemns homosexuality.[1][2][3][4] In addition, Christian apologist JP Holding refutes various arguments that assert that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality.[5][6][7][8][9] In his essay which examines Bible passages regarding homosexuality, Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministries at The Master's Seminary Alex D. Montoya states that "The Christian needs to befriend and witness to the homosexual with such love, compassion, and wisdom that such will respond to the saving grace of God."[10]

Homosexuality and the Bible and the City of Sodom

The Bible mentions Sodom in variety of biblical books. The destruction of Sodom was an eternal statement on God's views of homosexuality and homosexuality was the chief reason for its judgment (claims that the primary reason for Sodom's judgment was inhospitality are not supported by sound Bible exegesis.[11][12]

Ex-Homosexuals and the Bible

In regards to the question of whether or not homosexuality is a permanent condition, one of the earliest historical records regarding of the existence of ex-homosexuals is a letter of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthian Christian church.

The Apostle Paul wrote the following:

“ Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." - I Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV) ”
