Can Christians affirm gay relationships? Two same-sex attracted Christians join me to discuss why they disagree on sexuality, marriage, celibacy and scripture.
Matthew Vines is the author of 'God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships'. He represents the 'Side A' view that faithful monogamous gay marriage can be affirmed by orthodox Christians.
David Bennett is the author of 'A War Of Loves' and forthcoming books 'Queering the Queer in Contemporary Theology' and 'Beyond Compromise'. He represents the 'Side B' view that heterosexual marriage is God's design for sex, and that LGBT Christians are called to celibacy and friendship.

We’ve had a fantastic first season of Uncommon Ground: 10 episodes, totalling more than 20 hours of rigorous and inquisitive discussion, watched or listened to by nearly a million people thus far across YouTube and podcast!
And we’ve already begun filming Season 2! Already we’ve filmed a fascinating conversation between Oxford Mathematician and Christian apologist John Lennox and atheist philosophy YouTuber Joe Folley; an evolution debate between Adam Rutherford and Perry Marshall, and arguably the ultimate test of our format: Christian YouTuber Michael Jones (Inspiring Philosophy) vs Atheist YouTuber Stephen Woodford (Rationality Rules)!
Recording Season Two of Uncommon Ground, with Joe Folley, John Lennox, Perry Marshall, Adam Rutherford, Michael Jones, and Stephen Woodford!

“I'm so glad that Justin 'is back' after he left Unbelievable. He is a fantastic moderator and elevates his guests. This format is such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual debate format. Since it's an exchange of ideas, everyone wins!”

If God exists in time then there is a “privileged reference frame”, which means Albert Einstein was wrong about Relativity Theory, and his fellow scientist Hendrik Lorentz was right! That’s the claim of Christian philosopher and “tensed time A-theorist" William Lane Craig, in conversation with atheist theologian and “tenseless time B-theorist" Emily Qureshi-Hurst, on the previous episode of Uncommon Ground!
