What Do You Say to a Gay Friend? Culture Shock-Chip Ingram, part 2 Teammates May 13, 2018 Lee Bennett

Homosexual Premises from part 1 1.-I was born this way 2.-10% of the population is homosexual (or, how could so many be wrong?) 3.-My lifestyle is a normal, healthy ‘alternative’ to heterosexuality

Three more premises of homosexuality 4.-The Bible condemns lustful, indiscriminate homosexuality, but not loving, committed homosexual practice (rebutted by Scripture) Creation/created intent (Gen. 1:27-28; 2:18-24) Destruction of Sodom (Gen. 19:4-9) O.T. moral law (Lev. 18:21-25; 20:12-16) N.T. teaching (Rom. 1:26-27; I Cor. 6:9-10) Why? God’s protection; God’s provision

5th & 6th Premise of Homosexuality 5.-Emotional feelings and attraction to the same sex must mean I’m a homosexual. 6.-Once a homosexual, always a homosexual. I Cor. 6:9-11 (contradicts Scripture) 7.-All Christians are “homophobic” and could never fully accept a person who struggles with gay feelings, fantasies, or practice.

PLAY DVD of Part 2: “What to Say to a Gay Friend” Chip Ingram (Hear the audio on the mp3)

I Cor. 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Table Talk #1 Would someone who has come out of a homosexual lifestyle feel safe to tell you about their past and even about their current struggles? How do we not lower the bar of righteousness and at the same time make the church a safe place for those in the homosexual lifestyle to find the love and the grace of God?

Table Talk #2 If Jesus were walking the earth today, how do you think He would respond to the controversial issue of homosexuality? Are there things that He would have to change in you before He could clearly express His love and grace through you? Anything come to mind that you would like to share?

For further reflection Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.

Romans 1:24-27 (Contd) Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.—Romans 1:24-27 (NIV)
