Are Homosexuals Harder to Reach with the Gospel?
April 13, 2023
#STRaskStand to Reason
Questions about how to respond to a friend who says she doesn’t like the God of the Old Testament and is glad she has Jesus who forgives and whether Romans 1:26–28 indicates homosexuals are harder to reach with the gospel.
* How would you respond to a friend who says she doesn’t like the God of the Old Testament (referring to the Levitical laws and God’s immediate discipline of those who break those laws) and is glad she has Jesus who forgives?
* Does the “reprobate mind” referred to in Romans 1:26–28 refer specifically to homosexual acts or to sins in general? Does this passage mean homosexuals are harder to reach with the gospel?
