Bible Note: 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! |
