THAT WHICH IS UNNATURAL: Homosexuality in Society, the Church, and Scripture (Part Two in a Two-Part Series on Homosexuality) by Joseph P. Gudel Christian Research Institute STATEMENT DH055-2 Summary "The gay rights movement does not just want the right to privacy and to be left alone. Attempting to promote their cause as a civil rights instead of as a moral issue, they want special legal protection for, and cultural acceptance of, their lifestyle. Even many Christian churches have condoned or are sympathetic to homosexuality, ignoring the Bible's teachings concerning our sexuality. In the Old Testament we find heterosexuality to be proclaimed as God's natural order of creation, a teaching Jesus upheld in the New Testament. Biblically, homosexuality is described as both an "abomination" and "unnatural." God calls us to reject sin, but to love and value all people. "How can anyone dare to speak out against another person's lifestyle? Especially within the church, are not Christians called to be loving and inclusive? Does not the Bible itself tell us that we are to reach out to people instead of being judgmental and self-righteous? "Questions like these come up whenever the Christian or the church takes a stand on a moral issue, especially homosexuality. I realize that it is not "politically correct" to speak critically concerning any person or group. Nonetheless, true Christian love does not ignore immorality and the lives ruined by it, but speaks out in the hope of helping those individuals. "This is particularly true when militant pro-homosexual groups, both within society and the church, have attacked the traditional Judeo-Christian understanding of this important issue. Thus this article is written, not as an attack on homosexuals, but in defense of the biblical teaching on this topic and to help those ensnared in this lifestyle.

265 | HOMOSEXUALITY: Fact and Fiction | 1 Cor 6:9 | Radioman2 | 91756 | ||
HOMOSEXUALITY: Fact and Fiction (Part One in a Two-Part Series on Homosexuality) by Joseph P. Gudel Christian Research Institute STATEMENT DH055-1 Summary "If homosexuality is neither a normal nor a healthy lifestyle — as I believe this article demonstrates — then the most loving thing we can do is to help homosexuals realize this and offer them our help and encouragement. But millions of people in our society believe that homosexuality is a healthy and acceptable alternative lifestyle. This debate over the acceptance of homosexuality in our culture is one that has been clouded with many misrepresentations and inaccuracies. These misrepresentations include the assertion that ten percent of all Americans are gay (the figure is actually closer to one or two percent), that all competent psychiatrists and psychologists believe homosexuality is a healthy lifestyle (the majority do not), that homosexuals are born that way (most therapists disagree) and cannot change their sexual preference (disproven by numerous accounts where gays have converted to heterosexuality). It is the Christian's task to point out that while homosexuality is a sin, we are all sinners and there is forgiveness and deliverance for all who turn to Jesus Christ. ""People should live and let live!" "To each his own, let them live as they wish." "Let the gays have their freedom." "Whatever makes you happy, live with it." "Comments like these are commonly heard when the topic of homosexuality comes up for discussion. The debate over homosexuality and homosexual rights has steadily grown over the past two decades and will only continue to do so. "In the course of this debate, however, numerous inaccuracies, half-truths, fallacies, and overt propaganda have been disseminated to the public as uncontested truth. It is the purpose of this article to examine these claims and separate fact from fiction. Before anyone can give intelligent and compassionate answers, the questions must be clarified and brought into focus. I believe that when this is done the impartial reader will be able to agree with the analogy made by Dr. James D. Mallory, a psychiatrist and the director of the Atlanta Counseling Center: "A physician would be guilty of malpractice if he didn't warn a diabetic of his condition because he didn't want to hurt his feelings. Simply letting the person continue eating excessive carbohydrates without proper treatment condemns him to a worsening physical condition. The most loving act one can do is point out that an abnormality exists, and offer help. This needs to be done — but not in a spirit of condemnation — with homosexuality."

267 | The Specific Sins of Sodom | Ezek 16:49 | Radioman2 | 91730 | ||
The Specific Sins of Sodom AMPLIFIED Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, overabundance of food, prosperous ease, and idleness were hers and her daughters'; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. AMPLIFIED Jeremiah 23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they encourage and strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none returns from his wickedness. They have all of them become to Me like Sodom, and her inhabitants like Gomorrah. Chusarcik: I did not post my reply to your question as part of that thread. My reason is that I didn't want to remove your question from the homepage before other people had the chance to read it. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

268 | The Gospel According to Dake | Matt 24:11 | Radioman2 | 91726 | ||
P.S. When I heard Dake in person I was very impressed with his knowledge of the Bible -- not necessarily with his every interpretation of it, but certainly with his knowledge of it. | ||||||
269 | The Gospel According to Dake | Matt 24:11 | Radioman2 | 91723 | ||
Gracefull: I have read Dake's Bible. I used to own a copy of it. Better yet, years ago I went to a church meeting where Dake was teaching. It was a good (and enjoyable) experience. I'm glad I got to hear him in person. Dake believed in tongues, i.e. that it was a gift of the Spirit that is still active today. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

The Gospel According to Dake Repost (partial) of ID# 38561 by Reformer Joe '. . . I would strongly recommend against using Dake's Bible commentary for anything else than something to hold up the broken leg of your kitchen table. There is so much there that flies against historic, biblical Christianity that I simply do not know where to begin unraveling the mess. '--Joe!' ------------------------------ Repost (partial) of ID# 54076 by Reformer Joe '. . . My personal problem with Dake is not primarily focused on his tongues position, but on all sorts of other novel ideas such as there being some thirty or so different dispensations, the pre-existence of man, the idea that God has a body, twenty-three different things one must do to go to heaven. etc. etc. 'I encourage you to link to this Web site: 'http://sundial.net/[TILDE]snrgraff/articles/dake.html 'Replace [TILDE] above with the squiggly thing above the tab key. The bottom line is that so many seminaries disagree with Dake not because he is proving them wrong, but rather because he is wrong about the very nature of the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and how one must be saved. Once you get the nature of God wrong, that is the first domino to a whole host of false teaching. The debatable "tongues issue" is nothing compared to what one finds in his notes. '--Joe!' ------------------------------ Repost of ID# 54839 by Reformer Joe 'Yeah, this will make someone less confused! 'Isn't it great that 19 centuries after the completion of the New Testament, Dake came along to tell us what it REALLY means! How did the church ever get along without him? :) '--Joe!' |

Dake's Bible-speculative and unorthodox Dake's Annotated Bible "This work contains a great deal that is speculative and unorthodox..." "Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible (Dake, 1961 [NT], 1963) KJV "Dake’s is the product of 43 years of study and is one of the few study Bibles that has more words in its helps than in the Bible. Most of Finis Jennings Dake’s materials are set in two columns that appear on each page beside the two columns of biblical text. His introduction claims 500,000 cross-references, 35,000 notes and comments, 8,000 outlines, and 2,000 illustrations. Many of these materials are lists of observations from the text, but much is interpretive, with emphasis on prophecy, healing, and the miraculous. "This work contains a great deal that is speculative and unorthodox, such as Dake’s belief in God’s "spirit body" with "bodily parts" that "goes from place to place" (pp. 96-97 [NT]), his strong teaching on racial segregation (e.g., pp. 148 [OT] and 159 [NT]), and his dogmatism on just about every subject he addresses. The Dake’s study Bible cannot be recommended to journal readers, charismatic or not." ************* From: "HOW TO CHOOSE A STUDY BIBLE by John R. Kohlenberger III" John R. Kohlenberger III is the author or co-editor of 25 biblical reference books including Words about the Word: A Guide to Choosing and Using Your Bible (Zondervan), All about Bibles (Oxford University Press), and The NIV Exhaustive Concordance (Zondervan).

People, When you quote anyone - whether it be another forum user, a writer, a preacher, etc. - it would be better to use quotation marks. The reason? So that we can tell where the quote ends and where your own writing begins. |

274 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | Radioman2 | 91631 | ||
Michaelogical: I did not say that God's love is not based on anything. Nor did I once use the word condition or conditional in my Note. I merely said what I said, which is: "God's love is not based on the merit of the recipient." It seems to me that the REASON for the oath is God's love. Not the other way around. The result of God's love is the cross. This is not the same as saying the condition of God's love is the cross. Look at the order found in John 3:16. God's love precedes the giving of His only begotten son. Grace to you! Radioman2 |

275 | What does "being a homosexual" mean? | Rom 1:19 | Radioman2 | 91626 | ||
"For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot." You write: "I have a problem with the statement "it is not possible for a homosexual to carry out God's will". I did not mean that no homosexual could ever carry out God's will. What I meant was no [currently] active homosexual (one who habitually performs homosexual acts) is carrying out God's will. Habitual sin is not God's will. If and when a homosexual stops commiting homosexual sin, then it becomes *possible* for him to do the will of God. ------------------------------ First, we know that a sinner cannot do the will of God. Romans 8:6-8 (ESV) To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. [7] For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. [8] Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Second, as long as a person continues to practice homosexual sin, then they are NOT doing the will of God. 1 John 3:8-10 (ESV) Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. [9] No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. [10] By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. The teachings of Moses (the Law) condemn and prohibit homosexual sin. The Bible calls homosexual sin an abomination -- a pretty strong word. Moreover, the Law DEFINES homosexual activity as sin. Since sin is the transgression of the Law and Jesus came to fulfill (not abolish) the Law, then how could he condone the breaking of the very Law that he came to fulfill? Grace to you, Radioman2 |

276 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | Radioman2 | 91613 | ||
God's love is not based on the merit of the recipient. Deut. 7:7-8 (ESV) It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, [8] but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Romans 5:7-8 (ESV) For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— [8] but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |

279 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | Radioman2 | 91530 | ||
"the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit]" (AMPLIFIED) "the mind of the flesh" (ASV); "human nature" (GNT); "the sinful nature" (NLT); "the corrupt nature" (GOD's WORD) CurtMan: Good question and good to hear from you. I would go first with the text of the Amplified Bible in defining the term "carnal mind." The carnal mind is "the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit]." The word "carnal" comes from the Latin "carn-, caro FLESH." Compare the English word "carnivorous" which means "subsisting or feeding on animal tissues", i.e. meat or flesh. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:6 Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:7 [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:8 So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. Consider also the following translations/definitions: The American Standard Version, highly regarded for its scholarship and accuracy, gives what is probably the most literal translation of the Greek phrase translated "carnal mind." In Romans 8:6 the ASV says "the mind of the flesh." NEW LIVING TRANSLATION Romans 8 6If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. 7For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. The NLT translation for "to be carnally minded" is "If your sinful nature controls your mind." The NLT translates "the carnal mind" as "the sinful nature." The GOD's WORD translation translates "the carnal mind" as "the corrupt nature." The Good News Translation translates "the carnal mind" as "human nature." I will go with these clear and accurate definitions of "the carnal mind." Grace to you, Radioman2 |
