Subject: Homosexuality, sin or not? |
Bible Note: My reference to Matthew 19:4-6 was that Jesus quoted from Genesis concerning the joining of “male and female”. That God made male and female and that the two would become one. Male and female, get that? And then let no man separate what God has joined. Get that. God did not create man and man to have them united as one. God did not create female and female to have them united as one. When two unite themselves through sexual intercourse, they unite themselves into one as Paul reiterates in 1 Corinthians 6:16. God intended male and female to join. And if Romans doesn’t clue you in as to how sexual immorality and homosexuality are viewed by God, nothing that neither I nor anyone else can ever say will make see. And Hank was absolutely correct about Matthew 19:11. What does that have to do with Homosexuality? It deals with celibacy and not taking a wife so that one can better serve the Lord. Paul again reiterated this in 1 Corinthians 7. You were taught that it was a sin because that is what God’s word tells you. You risk much in attempting to misuse His Word or twist it into a context in which it was never meant to be. God’s word is clear my friend, it is you who is not. WOS |
