The circulation of globalization in line with human change forms a family institution. Now, it is very shocking when the issue of same-sex marriage (PSJ) succeeds in threatening the sanctity of Christianity. This issue successfully pressured church institutions to take their own steps in dealing with homosexuals who want to hold PSJ. Thus, this library study aims to identify differences in church approaches in dealing with PSJ conflicts in Christianity. The results of the content analysis found that the church's approach to supporting PSJ was: love and affection between the sexes became bait for homophilic; declare acceptance of homosexual practitioners; the church is open to accepting homosexual practitioners to reduce anxiety; the church allowed PSJ at the urging of influential individuals; and the church relies on government funds to be pressured if it appoints pastors who oppose PSJ. Meanwhile, the church's approach against PSJ is: the central church forms believers following the teachings of the Bible; the church deals with homosexual practitioners by identifying the causes of homosexuality; the firmness of the church; church agreement; gain full authority to manage marriage; appointing church leaders from among men; and support heterosexual marriages. Therefore, it is suggested that the church take a long-term approach in order to continue to successfully maintain the sanctity of Christianity. Peredaran arus globalisasi seiring dengan perubahan manusia membentuk institusi keluarga. Kini, amat mengejutkan apabila isu perkahwinan sesama jantina (PSJ) berjaya menggugat kesucian agama Kristian. Isu ini berjaya menekan institusi-institusi gereja untuk mengambil langkah tersendiri dalam menghadapi penganut homoseksual yang ingin melangsungkan PSJ. Justeru, kajian kepustakaan ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti perbezaan pendekatan gereja dalam menghadapi konflik PSJ di dalam agama Kristian. Hasil analisis kandungan mendapati pendekatan gereja menyokong PSJ adalah: cinta dan sayang sesama jantina menjadi umpan kepada homofilia; gereja bersikap terbuka menerima pengamal homoseksual untuk kurangkan kebimbangan; mengisytiharkan penerimaan pengamal homoseksual; gereja membenarkan PSJ kerana desakan individu berpengaruh; dan gereja bergantung dana kerajaan diberi tekanan jika melantik paderi yang menentang PSJ. Sementara itu, pendekatan gereja menentang PSJ pula adalah: gereja pusat membentuk penganut dahulukan Yehuwa dalam segala hal; gereja tangani pengamal homoseksual dengan mengenal pasti punca manusia melakukan seks sesama jantina; ketegasan gereja; kesepakatan gereja; mendapat kuasa penuh menguruskan perkahwinan; melantik pemimpin gereja dari kalangan lelaki; dan sokong perkahwinan heteroseksual. Justeru, dicadangkan supaya gereja mengambil pendekatan jangka masa panjang agar terus berjaya kekalkan kesucian agama Kristian.
The story of Sodom is an event of torment due to homosexual behavior. However, the text of the story of Sodom was reinterpreted by Bible scholars as appropriate. Accordingly, this study brings together the issues in the Story of Sodom. These issues are raised by Bible scholars in the fight for the fate of homosexuals. Based on the literature review, it was found that Bible scholars did not condemn homosexuality for the following reasons: the authenticity of the same-sex text in the story of Sodom is disputed; the purpose of the inhabitants of Sodom conducting a survey; causes of same-sex attempts; Lot's stance on same-sex union; the cause of the destruction of the people of Sodom; the purpose of the inhabitants of Sodom was to seduce Lot's guests; and the appropriateness of the story of Sodom as a lesson. Accordingly, in order to obtain accurate evidence, content analysis was conducted by comparing the Bible scholars' interpretation with the text of the story of Sodom in the Bible. Successful analysis proves that the prohibition of same-sex union described in the story of Sodom is clear. It can be used as a strong argument to forbid Christians who practice homosexuality. Kisah Sodom merupakan satu kejadian azab akibat kelakuan homosekual. Namun, teks kisah Sodom ditafsir semula oleh pengkaji Bible mengikut kesesuaian semasa. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini menghimpunkan isu-isu di dalam Kisah Sodom. Isu-isu ini dibangkitkan oleh pengkaji Bible dalam memperjuangkan nasib homoseksual. Berdasarkan kepada kajian kepustakaan, didapati bahawa pengkaji Bible tidak mengutuk homoseksual di atas sebab: kesahihan teks seks sesama jantina di dalam kisah Sodom dipertikaikan; tujuan penduduk Sodom melakukan tinjauan; punca kepada cubaan seks sesama jantina; pendirian Lot terhadap seks sesama jantina; punca kemusnahan penduduk Sodom; tujuan penduduk Sodom ingin meliwat tetamu Lot; dan kesesuaian kisah Sodom sebagai pelajaran. Sehubungan itu, bagi mendapat bukti yang tepat, analisis kandungan telah dijalankan dengan membandingkan di antara tafsiran pengkaji Bible dengan teks kisah Sodom di dalam Bible. Analisis berjaya membuktikan bahawa larangan seks sesama jantina yang dijelaskan di dalam kisah Sodom adalah jelas. Ia mampu dijadikan hujah yang kuat untuk melarang penganut Kristian yang mengamalkan homoseksual.
