In addition to Lev. 18:22 you will find reference in Lev. 20:13. Also, reference Gen. 19:1-11 the story of Lot in Sodom. From a Christian perspective look closely at Rom. 1:26-27 and note that God gave them up. | ||||||

I went and read the things that you put in your answer. Being a new Christian-----I am really looking for support. Being a new Christian I had to give up some things to begin my walk with Christ Jesus. I thought that I could just walk away from the temptation of homosexual activities. When I was with my church family the temptations where not there. What am I doing wrong? Will God turn away from me if I can not fight off the temptation? | ||||||

You are not doing anything wrong. Please know that you will be tempted, there is no escaping this fact. Know that "there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the emptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." I Corinthians 10:13 God will not forsake you or turn His back on you, He loves you. The devil wants to keep you bound and confused, but remember that Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b Walking away from homosexuality is very hard, trust me I know from experience, but if you remain persistent and steadfast you will do it and become More than a conqueror. The temptation to fall into this particular kind of sin may always be there, but temptation in and of itself is not bad, it is when we give in to temptation that we sin. When temptations come, pray, read the Word and rebuke the thoughts and the devil. I had a scripture that I quoted constantly throughout the day to keep me strong, find one that ministers to you and meditate on it day and night and watch the temptations go away. I will be praying for you |

I really appreciate you responding to my question. It helps to know that someone else has been through the same thing. I wrote a poem to the other person involved. UNTITLED There has only been two that caused my heart to flutter We started out as friends, but soon became lovers What you have in mind is quite tempting (quite) But my heart knows the words of another There are no strings involved Just the two of us But that can not yet be Your heart is still singing yet Another love song.... I have been where you are And it's nothing like being the other As much as I would like to be the one standing by your side The words of my other are more secure You are too busy trying to know Something that's not that important You are truly a temptation but I'll stay with my other lover. E.Washington 12/29/02 (The other being Jesus Christ) |

Awesome attitude. If you truly fall in love with Jesus, He will sustain you. Surround yourself with people that love the Lord. If you're not already in a good Bible based church find one and get involved. We need the Holy Spirit and the Bible to mature, but we also need each other. Even Jesus, the God Man, needed other people. We often see in the Bible that Jesus went away from the masses, but He most often took those most intimate with Him. The scene at the Garden of Gethsemmine, Jesus most difficult time on earth, He took the disciples with Him to be with Him and watch for Him. When they feel asleep you can sense in the words of the Lord His need for their fellowship. Even if you don't fall again into this type sin there are chances that you will probably fail in some other area. We all do from time to time. Satan will try to condemn you and make you condemn yourself. Don't fall for that. 1John 1:9 says that if we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to cleanse us from that sin. Confession is simply agreeing with God that what you have done is sin, thanking Him for paying for that sin and asking God to help you not to fall into that again. Remember, as a believer Jesus paid for all our sin past, present and future. God would not allow Jesus to pay for your sin, then require you to again pay for that sin by sending you to Hell. He may chastise us for our sin (Hebrews 12) but he will never condemn you. |
