Christian Response to Gay Marriage

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Christian Response to Gay Marriage," Steve Gregg argues for the biblical definition of marriage as a divine institution between one man and one woman, grounded in the relationship between Christ and the church. He believes that Christians must resist the cultural shift towards acceptance of same-sex marriage and instead should show love and grace towards those in the homosexual community while still standing firm against homosexual acts. Gregg encourages the church to license their own marriages and enforce the contracts within the church community, rather than relying on government recognition.
