結語
性特質是人存在的一部份，性特質的表達關係到人的整個自我，因此我們要
對性特質有更多的研究和了解，並且以教導和輔導來代替規範和限制，使我們性
特質的表達既可以成全自我的生命，又可以實現我們對所愛的人的委身，使我們
可以用整個身心歌頌、榮耀生命的主上帝----基督徒倫理最崇高的價值和目的。
性取向是上帝的賞賜，是天生的。教會討論同性戀的議題時，不要把它當作
只是在討論事情，我們是在討論人的關係。同性戀者的行為跟他 /她的性取向的
關係非常密切。我們不是在討論一個好像可以拿來解剖、切割的人體，我們不只
是在討論人的生活方式，而是人的生命的表達。在討論人的生命、生活時，我們
需要有更多的同情心、同理心。
無論是同性戀者或是異性戀者，都在上帝的恩典的眷顧中，上帝仍然愛他 /
她們。
由於我們對聖經的詮釋，以及我們在理性方面的了解，常常有些不同，所以
我們對同性戀這個議題也會有不同的見解。不過，無論是那一種見解，我們不應
該說跟我們不同見解的人是沒有基督信仰，不是基督徒，不相信上帝。其實，有
同性戀者仍參加教會，仍然告白耶穌基督是他 /她們的主。教會歷史上仍有很多
事情我們尚未尋得共識，我們應該互相尊重彼此不同的見解，並且一直繼續研
討、對話。不同見解的人一起讀聖經，不同性取向的人一同分享生活的體驗，共
同探討基督福音的倫理準則，開放心胸對話。
無論我們的決定是甚麼，希望我們都是非常誠實，以愛心來做決定，盼望我
們的決定都是一種負責任的決定。
