Findings indicate that homosexuality is a given fact in the nature of a significant portion of people, and that it is unchangeable. Our prejudice rejects people or things outside our understanding. The work of God in Christ says that we are loved, valued, redeemed, and counted as precious no matter how we might be valued by a prejudiced world. Bishop Wood - No. God made all of us and did not make all of us alike.
Diversity is beautiful in creation.
How we live our lives in either affirming or destructive ways is God's concern, but being either homosexually oriented or heterosexually oriented is neither a divine plus or minus. The New Testament is full of verses that speak of the work of Jesus Christ in creating a new unity beyond our divisions. The Gospel is vastly more inclusive than we often imagine or have been taught. Rabbi Lazar - First of all, I do not know what God thinks. In my opinion, homosexuality is not a sin, but an alternate lifestyle.
