About this listen

 Questioning the Bible’s stance on same-sex attraction or premarital sex? This podcast series debunks the myths propagated by conservative churches. We expose the shameful use of Old Testament verses to condemn gay Christians and spotlight Biblical scriptures that affirm sexual diversity. Yes, there are pro-LGBTQIA+ scriptures. And NOWHERE in the Gospel does Jesus forbid premarital sex, same-sex marriages, or female priests. If your faith and sexuality seem at odds, these podcasts may help. Too many churches teach a cultural gospel, a false gospel, that Jesus never preached.Elton Sherwin Christianity Spirituality
