GBC Podcast 007 | "..As one lies with a woman.." A study of Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 – and beyond

A lot of people point to two verses in the book of Leviticus to "prove" that God condemns Gay people. But are they really about Gay people, or something else?

Our podcast today talks about:

• Censorship of discussion about these verses -- and others -- by both the Roman and other churches
• Why we fail ourselves -- and God -- when we fail to "test everything", as the Bible commands us
• The purpose of Leviticus -- and of the entire Mosaic Law
• Who the Mosaic Law applied to -- and who it did and still does not
• How God's law can "change" -- and yet not change -- at the same time
• Why Gay people should study and learn from -- rather than ignore -- the Mosaic Law
• What these two passages in Leviticus literally say -- and how different that is from what English translations say
• Why Gay Christians are ok -- but Gay Canaanites aren't -- in God's book!
• Why trying to believe Leviticus condemns homosexuality is illogical and doesn't use proper Bible study techniques
• and more!
