Subject: Homosexuality, sin or not? |
Bible Note: Fox: The plain truth of the matter is that you are looking for, and perhaps think you have found, ways to explain away what Scripture clearly states. The matter of homosexuality being condemned as sin in the Bible is not up for debate, not on this Christian Forum. God has made His position clear on homosexual practices, just as He has on all other forms of sexual immorality. Whether you choose to believe God and His word or whether you choose to believe the lies being taught by the world that homosexuality is a normal and acceptable "alternative lifestyle" is up to you. But please don't profane Scripture by twisting it in a vain attempt to make it say what it clearly does not say -- don't do it on this Forum anyway. In your comments on Romans 1:26-28 you wrote, "This does not fit with accounts of people learning they are gay."Oh, but it does, my friend. It fits in the same manner as all Scripture does with people learning they are sinners: it gives the remedy for sin and sinners -- whether they are murderers, idolators, homosexduals, liars, thieves, adulterers, fornicators and so forth -- and the remedy is this: "repent and turn to God" (Acts 26:20). I pray that the Spirit of God will call you to a saving faith and a knowledge of the truth, my friend. --Hank |
