How do you justify Romans? [Summer Series]

Published: Aug. 1, 2021, 10:55 a.m.

b'Here\\u2019s another super popular episode in which Brian answers a listener question about Romans 1 (and anti-gay interpretations of the scripture). This particular text is one of the clobber passages that is often used to argue that it\\u2019s not ok to be LGBTQ and Christian.\\nLet us know what your thoughts are. What was your experience at the beginning of your queer and Christian journey? How did this episode resonate with you?\\nListener question:\\nThis for me is the hardest passage to wrap my head around. I understand with the other passages there are translation issues and so on but Romans seems pretty straightforward to me.\\nI don\\u2019t understand how to move past this passage. When I read it, it seems pretty clear to me that being gay is seen as unnatural and wrong. I have read so many articles on the 7 clobber passages but I am never satisfied with the \\u201cjustification\\u201d to being gay of Romans. Do you have any resources or advice on how I can understand this better?\\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at\\xa0patreon.com/queertheology.\\nIf you\\u2019d like to be featured in future episodes, email your question or Bible passage suggestion to\\xa0connect@queertheology.com.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Oladimeji Odunsi\\nThe post How do you justify Romans?
