The Areopagus Project

"...reinventing the art of discussion."

The Areopagus Project exists as a model for people to expresss thoughts on different topics relevant to their lives, inviting others to share, opinions, beliefs, convictions and ideas. This is not a group designed for one particular group. Equal opportunity is granted in all cases, whether a person expressing thoughts is the most fundamental of fanatics or the most open-minded of explorers. If everyone has value, than everyone has something to offer. Grace is expected. Thought is anticipated.

Welcome to the discussion.

...so...one of the biggest things that has been on my mind and heart lately.

I grew up in the christian movement...and was subsequently taught that homosexuality is a sin. Last year I spent an amount of time serving as youth pastor in a very small church. Out of my 25 students I had 5 that were either practicing homosexuals/bi-sexual or very confused about their sexual identity. It was at this point that several of my presuppositions about the Bible's perspective on homosexuality were confronted. Since that time I have really been trying to come to grips with this idea of a person's sexual orientation and whether or not it is a sin.

as it stands right now, I'm leaning towards the perspective that what we view as homosexuality is NOT considered a sin in the bible.

what do you think?
