Revisiting a project I
began many moons ago - refuting revisionist theology on
homosexuality.
Looking now at the
writings of select church fathers,in order to learn how they preached on the
subject of human sexuality.
Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus was born about 150
A.D. in Carthage, North Africa, the city considered second in importance only to
Rome in his time. His father was the captain of a Roman legion and provided
Tertullian with the education and training to become a lawyer. When he was about
40, Tertullian was converted to Christianity. He exuberantly embraced the gospel
and ably used his legal skills to defend Christianity from pagan
attackers.

He denounced homosexuality in De Corona chapter 6.
He denounced homosexuality in De Corona chapter 6.
"Yes, and also in the first chapter of [Romans] [Paul]
authenticates nature, when he asserts that males and females changed among
themselves the natural use of the creature into that which is unnatural, by way
of penal retribution for their error."
