Reddit mentions of To Melt a Golden Calf: An Evangelical Christian Case for Same-Sex Relationships

Why is this is a cross? I'm confused as how you can consider an attribute of how God made you a burden. You perhaps should change your perspective on this. God would not have made you gay if He thought it was awful for some strange reason. I reccommend you at least give this book a perusal: https://www.amazon.com/Melt-Golden-Calf-Evangelical-Relationships/dp/1490429956 Many of us Christians are gay, and are okay with it. You can pull out any Bible verse saying that same sex attraction is wrong, but I will always counter that those verses are culturally specific to middleeast holiness practices of the Bronze Age. The same laws that ban shellfish consumption (which I assume most people on here do with impunity). If you feel called to be single, that is totally valid and on you, but please don't feel like this is the definite and only way to look at things. God made humans for community, and I like to think that He is okay with gay relationships as much as He is with straight (but that's my opinion, I don't speak for Him or anything)

To Melt a Golden Calf is a book that may be helpful! Not sure what kind of sources you're needing, but it's a good one.
