1 | Verses as proof for an essay? | Lev 20:13 | beatbaby | 62501 | ||
I am writing an essay refuting what is said on the Westboro Baptist Church's website, which, if you don't know, is godhatesfags.com. I can't find any Bible verses out there to refute that, though I know there are lots at there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! | ||||||

To the best of my understanding, you won't find any such scriptures refuting what you found on Westboro church's website. You say you cannot find any scriptures to refute them, but know there are lots. I may be misunderstanding your comment here, but there is NOT one scripture in the New King James version of the Bible that permits homosexuality. In fact, Leviticus is not the only Book that condemns homosexuals. The New Testament book of Jude: "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire" and I Corinthian lists all those who will NOT enter the Kingdom of God to which homosexuals being one of them. Also, even the Old Testament book of Genesis speaks against homosexuals where God destroyed the entire cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their immoral sexual acts. So, my questions are: if there are lots of scriptures contradicting other scriptures on homosexuality, where are they, and why would God comdemn homosexuals in one scripture, and permit them in another? I don't mean to be sarcastic by this, but I feel you are wasting your time if you think you will find scriptures where God will allow homosexuals in Heaven. You may want to consider reversing your essay mission of refuting Westboro, and provide other scriptures that back them up. Homosexuality is an unnatural sexual act, and a sin against nature. Yes, one can get forgiveness for their sins, but MUST repent of them from that point forward. Ask God for guidance, and search the Bible yourself.... "Ask, and ye shall receive". Will you consider taking free Bible lessons? If so, please write: P.O. Box 228, Benton, Ky 42025 providing them with your name and address, and asking to be added to the free Bible lesson mailing list. You are even provided a postage paid return envelope with each lesson. God bless you. JC | ||||||

Sin is sin. The Bible very clearly states in Leviticus and in Romans that homosexuality is a sin against God. But, so is stealing, lying and murdering. The difference is that there are no big groups of people lobbying to make stealing, lying, murdering, etc. legal, acceptable and even biblical. Unfortunately, due to the fervor of many gay rights groups and activists we in the body of Christ become outraged and retaliate with hatred instead of the love that Christ intended. Remember, we must hate the sin and love the sinner. Leviticus 18:22 Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. NIV Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. NIV Also, to those who say they are genetically predisposed to being homosexual, that they were born that way and cannot help it ... that is a lie. My God would not make people homosexual when He clearly states what an abomination it is. That is like me saying that He created me to be permiscuous so it's not my fault if I have sex with a man before I get married. That whole line of thought is a cop out. But, unfortunately that is the way this society is going. No one wants to take responsibility for their own actions. It's always soemone elses fault. Homosexuality, just like any other sin, is a choice. Sexual perversion and immorality is a tool that satan uses against the world. It is dececrating the beautiful blood covenant that God created for husband and wife to share. Any sex outside of a marriage between a man and woman is sinful and shameful. But remember ... through the blood of Christ all things can be cleansed! Praise Him for that! |

Amen! Yes, through the blood of Christ, we can receive forgiveness, but remember: "Lest ye repent, you shall likewise perish." So, you MUST repent or be lost. Can a murderer continue to murder? Can a thief continue to steal? Can a drunkard continue to be unsober? Can an adulterer continue with adultery? No more than a homosexual can continue to live an unnatural homosexual lifestyle. God clearly tells us a child is born without sin so there is no such thing as being born a homosexual--it is clearly a lifestyle by choice. Why would God create a homosexual child, and then condemn him for it later? He would not. Thank you. JC | ||||||

Hello Janice C. You wrote: "God clearly tells us a child is born without sin..." I defend that any that are incapable of undertanding the gospel will be received by God into heaven. But I have never seen anything which clearly states a child is born without sin. Could you show me where you found it? Steve |
