speaking to you. Many well meaning people build their case against homosexuality almost entirely on the Bible. They‚ just as I‚ value the ancient text‚ and seek its guidance in their lives. Unfortunately‚ many of them have never really studied what the Bible does and doesn’t say about homosexuality.
