What is the Churches of Christ's Position on Homosexuality?

By Kelli Mahoney, About.com

Question: What is the Churches of Christ's Position on Homosexuality?

Many denominations have differing views on homosexuality. The Churches of Christ have their own views. What is the position of the Churches of Christ regarding homosexuality?

Answer:

The Churches of Christ believe that homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. They believe that homosexual behavior conflicts with the word of God and that it is unnatural. While they do believe that homosexuality is an unacceptable lifestyle choice, they do believe that judgement for sin is left only to God. Thus, they cannot condone or embrace homosexuality within the church, but they do state that homosexuals can be forgiven by God and repent for their sin.
