结语 　　性特质是人存在的一部份，性特质的表达关系到人的整个自我，因此我们要 对性特质有更多的研究和了解，并且以教导和辅导来代替规范和限制，使我们性 特质的表达既可以成全自我的生命，又可以实现我们对所爱的人的委身，使我们 可以用整个身心歌颂、荣耀生命的主上帝----基督徒伦理最崇高的价值和目的。 　　性取向是上帝的赏赐，是天生的。教会讨论同性恋的议题时，不要把它当作 只是在讨论事情，我们是在讨论人的关系。同性恋者的行为跟他 /她的性取向的 关系非常密切。我们不是在讨论一个好像可以拿来解剖、切割的人体，我们不只 是在讨论人的生活方式，而是人的生命的表达。在讨论人的生命、生活时，我们 需要有更多的同情心、同理心。 　　无论是同性恋者或是异性恋者，都在上帝的恩典的眷顾中，上帝仍然爱他 / 她们。 　　由於我们对圣经的诠释，以及我们在理性方面的了解，常常有些不同，所以 我们对同性恋这个议题也会有不同的见解。不过，无论是那一种见解，我们不应 该说跟我们不同见解的人是没有基督信仰，不是基督徒，不相信上帝。其实，有 同性恋者仍参加教会，仍然告白耶稣基督是他 /她们的主。教会历史上仍有很多 事情我们尚未寻得共识，我们应该互相尊重彼此不同的见解，并且一直继续研 讨、对话。不同见解的人一起读圣经，不同性取向的人一同分享生活的体验，共 同探讨基督福音的伦理准则，开放心胸对话。 　　无论我们的决定是甚麽，希望我们都是非常诚实，以爱心来做决定，盼望我 们的决定都是一种负责任的决定。 附注： （注１）Tom Horner, Jonathan Loved David - Homosexuality in Biblical 　　　　Times, Philadelphia : Westminster Press, 1978, pp.9f. （注２）：这些定义曾参考美国长老教会的所出刊文献。参看高天香译，「美国 　　　　　长老教会性教育指南」，《基督教教育期刊》，第二期，1996年11 　　　　　月，pp.39-66 （注３）：同性恋者在人口中的比例，根据不同的调查研究，有不同的数据。本 　　　　　文作者认定的数字是根据天主教出版的神学辞典。参看辅仁神学着作 　　　　　编译会，《神学辞典》，台北：光启出版社，1996，pp.226。 （注４）：参看 Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Presbyterians and Human Sexuality, 1991, p.49,以及 United Reformed Church, Homosexuality: A Christian View, 1991, p.23. （注５）：Ibid. （注６）：参看下列书籍：Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Presbyterians and Human Sexuality, 1991, pp.51f,以及United Reformed Church, Homosexuality: A Christian View, 1991, pp.10f; Jeffrey S.
