Believers emphasize that the call is to repentance and faith in the resurrected christ, extending grace to all, “for god did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world.

The bible does not oppose homosexuality because it does not speak of true or innate homosexuality but rather of homosexual acts by people who are not homosexuals.
