For Christians, any discussion about any topic must begin and end with the Bible, because if God is God we cannot afford to deny him the final word. When it comes to topics upon which the prevailing culture diverges from what God says in the Bible, the temptation for Christians is to accommodate its teaching to meet the current mood of the cultural moment, but this is at its heart an attempt to be God instead of him, believing in him when he agrees with us but dismissing him when he doesn’t.
The Bible’s teaching on sexuality is clear - God has designed humans for one of two actions: either a lifelong, covenant-committed relationship between one man and one woman, or faithful celibacy. God calls us, when we commit any sexual desires or behaviors that do not fit into this pattern, to repentance, forgiveness, and the promise of being fulfilled in Jesus’ love for us.
Because all humans are sinful all humans struggle against this command, but whether the sinfulness we struggle against is opposite-attracted desires and actions or same-sex desires and actions, the promise of the Gospel that there is no sin the blood of Jesus cannot cover holds true!
