1 | Homosexuality, sin or not? | Lev 20:13 | Wild Olive Shoot | 150446 | ||
I would say that Jesus very much did touch on this subject. As a matter of fact: Matthew 19:4-6 4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Jesus in His own words specified male and female. He said that a man would be united with his wife as one. Jesus made reference here to Genesis 1:27 and 2:24. He specified male and female, not partners or man and man. WOS |

2 | Homosexuality, sin or not? | Lev 20:13 | Fox | 150477 | ||
Hank said: “In Matthew 19:11 Christ was referring to celibacy but not enjoining it. To infer the remotest possibility that He had homosexuals in mind is playing the mother of all wild cards. ....” Hold up! Back up a bit. In Matthew 19:4-6 which WOS quoted, Jesus was talking about divorce, yet WOS inferred that Jesus had homosexuality in mind there. And I did not say that he was talking about homosexuals in Matthew 19:11, only that he clearly says that what he said in Matthew 19:4-6 is not for everyone. And if it's not for everyone then you can't use it to say that homosexuality is wrong. A plus B equals Good does not mean that A without B cannot be. In the same way, A plus B equals Good does not mean that A plus A or B plus B cannot be. Anyways, I wasn't trying to start some heated debate, I merely was sharing my belief on the issue. Beliefs I might add, that came from a great deal of bible study on the issue. (basically with the idea that, if this is such a terrible thing as I was taught, then I better find out why so I can better stand up against it.) And by the way, I don't know if you noticed but I never said the bible was not against it, just that if it is, it isn't “clearly” so as people always seem to say. |

My reference to Matthew 19:4-6 was that Jesus quoted from Genesis concerning the joining of “male and female”. That God made male and female and that the two would become one. Male and female, get that? And then let no man separate what God has joined. Get that. God did not create man and man to have them united as one. God did not create female and female to have them united as one. When two unite themselves through sexual intercourse, they unite themselves into one as Paul reiterates in 1 Corinthians 6:16. God intended male and female to join. And if Romans doesn’t clue you in as to how sexual immorality and homosexuality are viewed by God, nothing that neither I nor anyone else can ever say will make see. And Hank was absolutely correct about Matthew 19:11. What does that have to do with Homosexuality? It deals with celibacy and not taking a wife so that one can better serve the Lord. Paul again reiterated this in 1 Corinthians 7. You were taught that it was a sin because that is what God’s word tells you. You risk much in attempting to misuse His Word or twist it into a context in which it was never meant to be. God’s word is clear my friend, it is you who is not. WOS |
