in depth study of each clobber passage

  • Genesis 19

    The destruction of Sodom has long been used to justify the idea that God judges homosexuality. This course shows just how wrong that is. 

  • Leviticus 18 & 22

    The idea that "homosexuality is an abomination" comes from two verses in Leviticus. But this course shows why that's not the case.

  • Romans 1:26-27

    Stop accepting the idea that Paul condemns homosexuality as "unnatural" in Romans 1. Let me show you what he actually wrote and why.

  • Corinthians & Timothy

    People search Google and discover that 1 Corinthians 6:9 clearly says "homosexuality is a sin." Let's discover why that's utterly false.
