Welcome to Houston's First Baptist Church - Homosexuality

Understanding the Biblical Perspective

In the midst of a changing world, it is essential for us as believers to delve into the biblical perspective on various topics, including homosexuality. At Bible Baptist Church, our aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of God's plan and teachings regarding this matter.

The Definition of Homosexuality

Homosexuality refers to an emotional and sexual attraction between individuals of the same sex. Our goal is to approach this topic with respect, compassion, and through the lens of biblical teachings.

God's Love and Compassion for All

We firmly believe that God's love is all-encompassing and extends to every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation. At Bible Baptist Church, we strive to create an inclusive community where everyone is welcomed with open arms, embracing the diversity within the body of Christ.

Biblical Teachings on Homosexuality

The Holy Scriptures play a pivotal role in guiding our understanding of homosexuality. The Bible addresses this topic in several passages, such as:

  • Leviticus 18:22: "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."
  • 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men."
  • Romans 1:26-27: "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

These passages form the basis of our belief that homosexual acts are considered sinful according to Scripture. However, it is important to remember that God's grace and forgiveness are available to all.

Creating a Welcoming and Supportive Environment

Homosexuality is a complex and sensitive topic. At Bible Baptist Church, we are committed to fostering an environment of love, support, and understanding for individuals who experience same-sex attractions. Our goal is to help individuals navigate their faith journey while providing biblical guidance and pastoral care.

Guidance and Pastoral Care

If you or someone you know is experiencing same-sex attractions and desires guidance from a biblical perspective, our dedicated pastoral team is here to help. We offer a safe space to explore questions, seek understanding, and find solace in God's word.

Community Outreach and Education

Bible Baptist Church actively engages in community outreach programs and educational initiatives to promote understanding and engage in meaningful dialogue about homosexuality. We strive to create an environment where questions are welcomed, and misconceptions are addressed through biblical teachings and compassionate conversations.

Embracing Love and Respect

We firmly believe that God's love is accessible to everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation. Our faith teaches us to treat one another with respect, dignity, and compassion, modeling the love of Christ in every interaction.
