Homosexuality

In today's world there are many questions about homosexuality as it relates to Christianity. So, it is important that we Christians have rational and reasoned discussions about what the Bible does and does not say about homosexuality. To that end, CARM has produced a section on homosexuality that we believe answers many of the core questions about homosexuality in a way that is true to the biblical text.
