The documentary For the Bible Tells Me So shares the stories of five families’ journeys to understand the Bible’s message on sexual orientation. When confronted with gay and lesbian children, these families face a struggle with their beliefs about Scripture. It details the ups and downs of family love and the coming out process, while probing their biblical interpretations. The interviews openly address the raw turmoil, but ultimately conclude in hope.
Cinematical praises how it “takes those who would believe that there is no common ground between faith and homosexuality and gently, relentlessly chisels away at every argument that bolsters those beliefs.” The film is available on Netflix streaming.
Scriptural Views: What Does the Bible Say About Love? comment
Watched it for the first time two weeks ago with my husband. Felt so freeing as a LGBTQ-affirming straight couple to see that our views were not incompatible with Scripture – I can’t imagine the freedom people who are LGBTQ (not just affirming) feel upon seeing such hope.
