Homosexual practice an
unacceptable lifestyle
Even if proof emerges for a strong biological explanation for gay behaviour, there is still a problem. ... Now it is viewed as an alternative lifestyle. ... The gay activists hope that their lifestyles can then be integrated into mainstream thinking and practice. ... Bible scholar Robert Gagnons excellent book, The Bible and Homosexual Practice (Abingdon, 2001) provides a thorough study of the matter. ... It must also be noted that just like all humans who are a mixture of sin and grace, a homosexual may also exhibit many praiseworthy character traits in spite of engaging in a particular sinful practice. (We must also note that while we condemn homosexual practice, we must likewise be prepared to condemn with equal strength and conviction the other sins listed in, say, 1 Cor. ... What we must oppose, however, is the active and aggressive promotion by gay rights groups of a gay lifestyle in our society. We must raise strong objections when there are attempts in the arts, media and other places to endorse, normalise or idealise the gay lifestyle. We believe that such a lifestyle is contrary to family values and the kind of society we seek to live in. ...
In Church, we must take a clear moral stand that homosexual practice is sinful and is an unacceptable lifestyle.
