What About Gay Christians? (TARIF 248)

Since same-sex marriage was legalized in South Africa, pressure has grown on churches to affirm LGBTQ+ identities and relationships. But does the Bible allow for the category of a “gay Christian”? In this episode, we examine key biblical passages often discussed in this debate—including Leviticus, the teachings of Jesus, and the writings of Paul. What do the Scriptures actually say about homosexuality, marriage, and the church’s responsibility in a changing culture? More importantly, is there hope for transformation through the gospel? This discussion seeks to approach the issue with biblical clarity, reminding believers that the church must ultimately take its direction from God’s Word, not cultural pressure.Written by Ntumba Katabua and presented by Yamikani Katunga
