Why do people think the Bible says being gay is wrong? What does the Bible actually say about marriage and gender roles and identities? What are some of the different ways we can understand our faith as LGBT Christians who love Jesus, have a deep respect for Scripture, and don't want to lie about who we are? This is the podcast version of a 6-week intro series we run in our Facebook group for LGBT Christians (mostly from a UK evangelical background).
The "are they, aren't they?" arguments.
Why the Bible's views on lots of people seem to change over time.
And what happened when Peter told the other apostles they weren't going to follow the Bible any more.

4 The Creation Order
"But God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve!"
"LGBT people go against the order God instituted in creation."
Or do they? We look at the creation archetypes of Genesis 1 and 2, what they (and the rest of Scripture) say and don't say about the sort of relationships God blesses and works in, and what makes a healthy relationship.
