Subject: Should homosexuals be ordained? |
Bible Note: Dear Johnny, Your statement that the wrong is “what the person does, i.e. sexual acts with someone of the same sex” is a half-truth, and as such is false. Homosexual sins are not those that are physical only. If a person is homosexual in their heart, it is also wrong. The Bible says, “such WERE some of you.” Rahab was a harlot before she became a believer in the God of Israel. When she joined the people of God she stopped being a harlot, got married and became an ancestor of Christ. Jesus saves us from our enslavement to sin. One who is saved should no longer be a homosexual. If he is he is not a believer and is not qualified for any position in the Church of Christ. Lionstrong |
