Bible Question: I just started working with a person who has announced he is a homosexual. He throws "God Bless You" to the customers everyday and says he goes to church. I have found several scriptures in the bible that denounces homosexuality. I want to witness to him but can't seem to find the right words. Any suggestions? |
Bible Answer: Dear Teri :: A warm welcome to Study Bible Forum and thanks for your question. It is not an easy one to answer, and it's an even harder task to minister to homosexuals, particularly those practicing homosexuals who profess to be Christians. ...... Teri, there's a web site that may help your thinking as you consider ways to approach the subject with this homosexual person who gives out the "God bless you" salutations to the store's clientele. ...... First, I'll give you the URL to a specific article that I'd recommend to you. Go to http://www.gotquestions.org/gay-Christian.html ..... This article addresses the question, "Is it possible to be a gay Christian?" Then, let me suggest you go to the web site again, using the URl http://www.gotquestions.org and typing in their search box the words Christian homosexual. You will be led to a number of other articles on this subject and related topics, and will see also some recommendations of books on the subject. ....... I rejoice that you want to minister to this person and ask my fellow registrants on SBF to join me in prayer for your ministry. ...... Of course, as you undoubtedly already know, being a church goer, as this man says he is, offers no warranty at all that he, or anyone else who attends church services, is a regenerate believer. May God bless and guide you in your ministry. --Hank |
