68. Deconstructing Homosexuality Pt. 4 (Themes that Inform the Discussion--Lust, Purity, Shame)
Welcome to Season 4 of Deconstructing the Myth! Today, host Liz Mall (MA of Christian Apologetics, Biola) brings you another research episode to help you on your deconstruction journey. In this episode we touch on three key concepts found in the Bible that tie into the homosexuality discussion: desire/lust, purity/impurity, and honor/shame. These concepts help us understand the "why" of the Bible passages that reference same sex activity, and are key to understand if we want to move forward with any sort of responsible application of the text for today's modern world. We reference the books Bible, Gender, Sexuality: Reframing the Church's Debate on Same-Sex Relationships by James V. Brownson and Same-Sex Marriage: A Thoughtful Approach to God's Design for Marriage (Thoughtful Response) by Sean McDowell and John StonestreetFor a detailed compilation of this season's show notes in one place, check out Patreon and consider supporting us there financially to help keep the lights on (and for additional perks and opportunities!)

Welcome to Season 4 of Deconstructing the Myth! Today, host Liz Mall (MA of Christian Apologetics, Biola) brings you another research episode to help you on your deconstruction journey. In this episode we touch on four key concepts in the Bible that tie into the homosexuality discussion: patriarchy, "one flesh," procreation, and celibacy. These concepts, in addition to our understanding of "marriage," often deeply inform how we approach and apply passages concerning homosexuality in the Bible.We reference the books Bible, Gender, Sexuality: Reframing the Church's Debate on Same-Sex Relationships by James V.
