There are no articles on biblical criticism or biblical <a href="/wiki/Apologetics" title="Apologetics">apologetics</a>. In other words, the Bible is their starting point. The Bible is God's word, and everything that follows that leap of faith is perfectly rational. There is no attempt to even prove that the Bible is true, reliable, or actually God's word. </p><p>There are no mentions of <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolution</a> or <a href="/wiki/Creationism" title="Creationism">creationism</a>, so their stance on those issues is unclear. </p><p>Predictably, Bible Issues is against <a href="/wiki/Homosexuality" title="Homosexuality">homosexuality</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gay_marriage" class="mw-redirect" title="Gay marriage">gay marriage</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> It holds to a fundamental conservative interpretation of the homosexuality scriptures in the Bible. It claims to be indifferent to gay marriage, but it clearly expresses sentiments to the contrary. It attributes changing attitudes toward homosexuality to a "pervasive liberal culture", and it expresses fear that gay rights will eventually take precedence over <a href="/wiki/Religious_freedom" title="Religious freedom">religious freedom</a>. There is even an article discussing the science behind homosexuality. Amazingly, it comes to the conclusion that homosexuals are not born that way, but choose to be so. At no point do they present any science to prove their point. Their main emphasis is in showing the shortcomings of scientific research, which does suggest a genetic component to homosexuality. According to their logic, these shortcomings invalidate the theory that gays are born that way. </p><p>The dominant emphasis is actually on bashing Christians, especially <a href="/wiki/Charismatic" class="mw-redirect" title="Charismatic">charismatics</a>. It strongly condemns the excesses of fringe charismatic groups.<sup id="cite_ref-about_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-about-1">[1]</a></sup> So from that point of view, Bible Issues can be considered polemic rather than apologetic. While it does distance itself from the emotional extremes of Christianity, it falls short of presenting Christianity as intellectual. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="External_links">External links</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_Issues&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: External links">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.bibleissues.org">Bible Issues website</a></li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="References">References</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_Issues&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: References">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <div class="references-small" style="font-size:90%;"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-about-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">↑ <sup><a href="#cite_ref-about_1-0">1.0</a></sup> <sup><a href="#cite_ref-about_1-1">1.1</a></sup></span> <span class="reference-text">Original version: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://archive.is/Dk7zf">About us</a>, archived from Bible Issues, 5 January 2016. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.bibleissues.org/about-us/">Current version</a> at Bible Issues.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-2">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text">Denver Cheddie, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.bibleissues.org/homosexuality.html">Is homosexuality a sin?</a> Bible Issues.</span> </li> </ol></div></div> <div role="navigation" aria-labelledby="apologetics_and_counter-apologetics-navbox" style="clear:both;"> <table class="toccolours collapsible collapsed autocollapse innercollapse outercollapse navbox nowraplinks" style="width:100%;"> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="4" style="background:#484329;
