Subject: Homosexuality, sin or not? |
Bible Note: Hi, Fox! Ever heard the expression practice makes perfect? Jesus said it better, though, He said that from the abundance of the heart man speaks (acts, believes, functions)... He also said... "those who have eyes, see; those who have ear listen" And He told His contemporaries religious elite that they were blind leading the blind! If you choose to ignore Scripture or to rationalize it or to circumvent it, I cannot show you enough proof that homosexuality is wrong! I can't even proof to you that the Jews are descendants of Abraham! Here's your problem: you seek to make homosexuality an accepted sexual practice... you do not seek to give homosexual rights... you seek to make homosexuality a simple choice that is sanctioned by God! You will only convince yourself (and any homosexual that deceives him/herself into thinking that God created them so and that God desires all to be happy with their personal choices)... These men which you so vehemently choose to protect for the wages of sin quickly gathered around Lot's house seeking to have homosexual sex with the men Lot was hosting... since they knew Lot before this particular incident, they knew that Lots daughters had not been married (being from such a devoted household they were clearly virgins); yet there was no interest in having an orgie with Lots daughters... and there was no mention of their desire to attack/bed Lots daughter prior to the incident nor during the incident... their whole purpose was to have homosexual intercourse with the men in Lot's care... Did Lot think that having his daughters raped and sodomized by these men was a good thing? Apparently you read the Bible in an effort to find errors not in an effort to understand God (for God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son!)... Jesus tells us that a true friend would give his life for a friend... this is not knew to God's people... it is the code of conduct expected and demanded of them by Yahweh! Lot volunteered his hospitability to these extrangers that came into the city... he was obliged to do everything that he could to secure their well-being; yes, including giving his own life for them... did you not notice that? Lot went out of his house to fend the eminent attack on the strangers! He appealed to them to allow free passage for the men inside his home... he reasoned with them that he had extended his hospitability to them... he pleaded with them to take their lust out on his daughters in an effort to spare the shame that these foreigners would suffer at their onsluaght... he offered to them what he could... but their homosexual appetite was greater than their natural sexual desire to possess a virgin woman and they rejected his offer! Further, since he insisted on keeping them from the object of their conquest, they threatened Lot with sexually assaulting him even more so than they would his guests! If you still insist on reading Scriptural proof that homosexuality is a perverted sin against God and nature, read Romans 1:18-32! God Bless! Angel |
