LGBTQ Through the Lens of Scripture
<p>When we share the gospel, what actually matters?</p><p>Do we need to address someone’s sexual identity? Does it make a difference whether a person identifies as heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender when presenting the message of Christ? These questions aren’t theoretical anymore. They’re part of real conversations happening every day. And compared to a few decades ago, something has shifted. More people who identify as part of the LGBTQ community also identify as Christians. That reality means this topic can’t be ignored, but it also can’t be handled carelessly.</p>Why This Topic Matters<p>There are strong emotions on every side. Some are quick to call non-traditional sexual identities sinful but struggle to explain why from Scripture. Others argue that the Bible affirms or permits them. Both approaches often skip something essential: a clear and careful understanding of what the Bible actually teaches. Before we can talk about how the gospel relates to sexual identity, we need to understand the Bible’s foundation for human sexuality.</p>The Biblical Foundation for Sexuality<p>Scripture begins this conversation in Genesis. In chapter one, humanity is created in God’s image as male and female. </p>So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27<p>This distinction is presented as intentional, not accidental. In the next chapter, marriage is introduced. A man and a woman are brought together and described as becoming “one flesh.” </p>That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. - Genesis 2:24<p>This becomes the pattern that the rest of the Bible builds on. From the beginning, the picture is consistent: humanity is created as male and female, marriage is between a man and a woman, and sexual intimacy belongs within that relationship.</p>A Consistent Pattern in Scripture<p>As the Bible unfolds, this framework doesn’t change. Both the Old and New Testaments speak about sexuality within these boundaries. Sex before marriage, adultery, and other forms of sexual behavior outside this design are addressed as sin. Within that same framework, same-sex sexual behavior is also described as outside of God’s intended design in several passages like Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, and 1 Corinthians 6:9. It’s important to note that Scripture does not present any positive example of a same-sex relationship. Every reference appears within a broader picture of humanity moving away from God’s design.</p>What About Jesus?<p>Some say Jesus’ silence on LGBTQ topics means the issue isn’t central. But when He speaks about marriage in Matthew 19, He points back to Genesis—affirming male and female and the union of a man and a woman. He doesn’t redefine the standard; He reinforces it. In doing so, He treats the creation account as the authority for understanding marriage and sexuality.</p><p>Within that same conversation, Jesus also mentions “eunuchs,” which is where some confusion comes in. In context, this refers to men who do not marry, not to alternative sexual identities. The focus of that passage is on singleness and devotion to God, not redefining sexuality. So even though Jesus doesn’t use modern categories or labels like gay, lesbian, etc., His teaching still clearly supports the same design for marriage found in Genesis</p>Where This Leaves Us<p>When we step back and see the full picture of Scripture, its teaching on sexuality is consistent and grounded in God’s design. But that truth is meant to lead us somewhere. The gospel calls us beyond debate into redemption. It reminds us that every one of us comes as a sinner in need of grace. No label defines someone beyond God’s ability to save, and no one approaches Him on the basis of their own righteousness. That means our response must reflect both the truth of His Word and the grace of His heart.</p><p></p><p></p>

Interviewing an Ex-JW
A Testimony of Truth and Transformation<p>What happens when someone raised to believe they have the truth begins to question everything?</p><p>In a recent episode of the Gospel Today Podcast, Caleb Suko sits down with Melek Steele to explore that very question. Melek’s story is of a man deeply formed by the Jehovah’s Witness worldview, who eventually found himself confronting its inconsistencies and searching for something more.</p>A Life Shaped by the Watchtower<p>Melek was a third-generation member of the Jehova's Witnesses, raised from childhood in the structure and teachings of the Watchtower Society. Like many young men in the organization, he was trained early—participating in ministry school, learning how to engage people at their doorstep, and developing the skills necessary to represent the faith publicly. By his late teens, Melek was fully immersed in the community. He served at Bethel, the headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and was on a clear path toward leadership. His life revolved around the organization—its teachings, its mission, and its community. From the outside, it appeared structured, disciplined, and unified. But as he would later discover, appearances can be deceiving.</p><p></p><p>Young Melek serving in the Watchtower Society</p>Cracks Beneath the Surface<p>Interestingly, Melek’s initial doubts did not come from theological disagreements but rather from lived experiences. As he took on more responsibility within the organization, particularly in shepherding roles, he began to notice a disconnect between the polished image presented publicly and the realities behind the scenes. Situations involving internal conflict and the mishandling of serious issues raised questions he could not ignore. These moments planted seeds of doubt. If this was the “truth,” why did it not align with the integrity and transparency one would expect? Still, walking away was not simple. When your identity, family history, and entire worldview are tied to a belief system, questioning it feels like stepping into the unknown. Melek described this tension clearly:</p>When you believe something to be the only way your entire life and you watch somebody give their life for these beliefs, you feel like if this isn’t the truth then there must not be a truth..The Long Road Out<p>Leaving the Jehovah’s Witness organization was not a sudden decision. It was a gradual, often painful process that unfolded over several years. Melek began to investigate other belief systems, exploring philosophy and even Eastern religions like Buddhism. While these offered certain insights or practices, they ultimately left him unsatisfied. They lacked something essential—an answer to the deeper questions of truth, purpose, and salvation.</p><p>At the same time, Melek returned to the Bible, but with a critical difference: he began reading a translation outside of the Jehovah’s Witness framework. This allowed him to examine Scripture without the interpretive lens he had always been given. What he found was striking. Certain key passages—particularly those relating to the nature of Christ—stood in direct contrast to what he had been taught. Passages like John 1 and Hebrews 1 began to take on new meaning. The more he studied, the more he realized that the issue was not just organizational inconsistency, but doctrinal error.</p>The Central Question: Who Is Jesus?<p>Everything in Melek’s journey ultimately hinged on a clearly defining question: the true identity of Jesus Christ. Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that Jesus is not God, but a created being—they view him as the archangel Michael. This fundamentally alters the understanding of the Gospel. If Christ is not fully God, then His sacrifice is reduced to that of a mere man. Melek came to see that this view could not account for the full testimony of Scripture. The Bible presents Christ not only as Savior, but as divine, eternal, uncreated, and worthy of worship. This realization drastically changed everything. If Jesus is truly God, then the Gospel is not simply about a man dying for others. It is about God Himself entering human history, taking on flesh, and accomplishing what no mere human could. The weight and power of salvation rest entirely on who Christ is.</p>Sharing the Gospel with Jehovah’s Witnesses<p>One of the most practical aspects of this conversation is Melek’s insight into how to engage with Jehovah’s Witnesses today.</p><p>Rather than approaching conversations with confrontation or debate, he emphasizes patience and humility. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses are deeply committed, often sacrificing relationships and personal opportunities for their faith. This level of investment cannot be undone in a single conversation. Instead, Melek suggests a relational approach to build trust. He urges people to demonstrate genuine Christian love - to live out the Gospel in a way that challenges the assumption that fulfillment is found only within the organization. He also highlights the importance of understanding their perspective. Are they motivated by fear, tradition, or sincere concern for others? Identifying this can shape how you respond. Finally, he encourages the use of Scripture—particularly their own translation—combined with clear, logical reasoning. Since Jehovah’s Witnesses value structured thinking, showing inconsistencies within their framework can be effective over time.</p>A Story That Points Beyond Itself<p>Melek’s journey is ultimately not just about leaving one belief system but finding truth.</p><p>In a world filled with competing claims, his story reminds us that the question of Jesus’ identity is not a minor theological detail—it is the foundation of everything. Getting that question right changes not only doctrine, but ones eternal perspective. And perhaps most importantly, it reminds us that behind every door knock, every conversation, and every belief system, there are real people searching, questioning, and in need of the truth that sets them free.</p><p></p>

How Do You Reach an Atheist?
Sharing the gospel with atheists requires both truth and compassion. Rather than arguing, focus on understanding and meaningful conversation. While belief in God is reasonable, arguments alone don’t change hearts. Point people to God’s love, mercy, and truth, and trust Him to work, as many reject Him for personal, not intellectual, reasons.
