I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “I’m not inclusive in spite of what Scripture says; I’m inclusive because of what Scripture says.” My wife read me these words from a Facebook post by one of my former seminary professors. This statement was posted with a picture of my former professor performing a wedding for two women.

Pro-gay theology has infiltrated evangelical churches in America, and “inclusion” has been one of the major selling points. Scripture is clear that God loves all people, died for all people, and desires that all people would come to believe in him. In this sense, the Bible is inclusive.

The biblical advice for homosexuality and adultery are the same: Don’t engage in them.

At the same time, the Bible clearly condemns sexual sin, homosexuality being one among many. This point has been exhaustively studied and written about by apologists and theologians. (For further reasons why we know Scripture condemns homosexual behavior, see here.)
