    What do Welcoming & Affirming Baptists believe about the Bible?  
       
    Although Welcoming & Affirming Baptists would have many different answers to this question, most of us would say that our affirmation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people is based on scripture. We welcome lgbt people in our churches because that is what we believe Jesus would do. How can we come to this conclusion? What about "Sodom and Gomorrah" and all those other scriptural passages that seem to condemm gays? Click on the links below for answers to these and other questions about the Bible.
