Subject: Is homosexuality actually forbidden? |
Bible Note: Homosexuality is not "the bad sin." All sin is evil and discusting. It is possible for any practicing sinner to be a Christian because if we were capable of being perfect there would be no need for Christ. Before a person can stop sinning, they need God's help. It is impossible to break the bonds of sin alone. Therefore it is futile to pressure a nonChristian homosexual to stop his evil practices. Instead we should worry about planting seeds and praying for the Holy Spirit to come on their hearts. Suppose they do. Are they barred from faith because of their sin? Of course not, it is by grace we are saved through faith. So since there is at least a period of time in which a homosexual can be a Christian, when we encounter Christian homosexuals, we should: 1. Be sure they know the scripture 2. Encourage them with kindness to repent and reject their temptations 3. Help them grow in their faith 4. Pray for them, and your own wisdom. |
