In respect to homosexuality and the Bible, sound Bible exegesis and Bible exposition demonstrates that the Bible condemns homosexuality. In addition, Christian apologist JP Holding refutes various arguments that assert that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. In his essay which examines Bible passages regarding homosexuality, Pastor and Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministries at The Master's Seminary Alex D. Montoya states that "The Christian needs to befriend and witness to the homosexual with such love, compassion, and wisdom that such will respond to the saving grace of God."
