Humphrey’s academic discussion papers on the Bible and human sexuality provide insight into the complex realm of interpretation, in regards to human sexuality—amidst 1st generation and 2nd generation Christians. Before results are revealed, Edith begins this series of academic papers with the emphasis on the Christian obligation to read the scriptures with thorough analysis and interpretation. When proper examination of the scripture is performed, the authoritative Word of God is revealed and becomes distinct from opinions based on current human experience, concern and determination. In both the Old Testament and New Testament, human sexuality is discussed, although sexuality can cause one to misinterpret the use of sexuality within

Helminiak provides an interesting discussion based on a reoccurring topic of interest, integration of sexuality and spirituality.

The Hebrew Bible complicates its stance on homosexuality throughout its chapters. The Genesis account of Sodom illustrates how the Bible seemingly opposes homosexuality through its destruction of Sodom. However, the account of David and Jonathan contradicts this notion to suggest a homosexual dimension to their relationship. The text achieves this by mirroring their relationship to heterosexual relationships and by employing clothing imagery. Although the text does not explicitly state this relationship, the text’s language complicates the antihomosexuality in the story of Sodom.

There has been a new renewal in the Catholic Church since Argentina’s Bishop, Father Francis, became the new Pope. This renewal appears evident when listening to the Pope’s speech on homosexuality. Many of the world’s approximately one billion Catholics were shocked that he is taking a liberal stance in the Church and opening the Catholic community to these supposed sinners. However, it is important to consider why people still view Pope Francis as an open-minded Pope, especially since he has shown similar stances as his predecessors. This reaction to the Pope and interpretation of his stance as not fully opposing homosexuality is mostly due to the press defining Pope Francis as the “good” Pope and his predecessor as the “bad” one.

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today.

There are several religions which condemns the notion of homosexuality. Growing up in a Christian household I was taught that being homosexual is a sin in the sight of God. For example, in Jamaica my family practiced Pentecostal religion where they are very passionate about their traditions. There were unspoken beliefs that homosexuals were to be punished for their sexual practices. This belief followed me to the United States. Even though we went to a Baptist Church, the teachings were the same. I held on to this religious belief for many years and lived my life in a way that was conducive to my religion.
