Alicia Johnston: Paul and Homosexuality

Some of the most famous clobber passages are found in Paul's letters. The passages have been used to demonise and push many LGBTQ+ people out of church and society. Yet are we reading these passages correctly or have we been lazy with our reading and interpretation?

In this episode Alicia takes us through some fo these passages and the original language they were written in. We take a look at what Paul is actually talking about and the words he uses. Words that upon closer inspection, may not actually line up with how we have come to interpret and understand these clobber passages.

The Kickstarter campaign for Alicia’s book The Bible and LGBTQ Adventists is live now. Please support this awesome project via the following link: http://kck.st/3zCOror

Born and raised in the church, Jo never expected to find himself being pushed out by it. While Jo’s journey of self acceptance and a search for belonging has been challenging, it led him to find a loving God who was far greater than the sum of his painful experiences and hurt and a return to the church of his childhood. He hopes that all will be able to experience, as he has, a love that not only transforms them but also changes the way they see others.
