Bible Question (short): Please explain the following verses... |
Question (full): Please explain the following verses in light of your previous post: Lev 20:13 Lev 20:15 I Cor 6:9 I Tim 1:10 Jude 1:7 I agree, and Scripture is plain on this, that every believer who is single should live a chaste life, free from sexual immorality. I disagree that a "person is homosexual". Homosexuality is an act of rebellion against God, not a state of being. I think the homosexual lobby has done a very good job of convincing people that "being homosexual" is equal to being heterosexual. Homosexuality is an act of sin, and like all sin it is a perversion of the good, the right, the true. The true way of mankind's sexuality is one man with one woman for life. Homosexuality is a perversion of that truth. By the way, my brother-in-law, who really loved the Lord, was at one time in his life totally caught up in homosexual practices. He was able to break free from the addiction, though he still struggled with temptation from time to time. He went home to be with the Lord four years ago. As to whether or not a person who is practicing rebellion against God should be ordained - I think the answer is fairly obvious, is it not? Should anyone participating in open rebellion against God be ordained? I think not. Chuck |
