AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 6:9 ¶ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality, |
Subject: Homosexuality, sin or not? |
Bible Note: You are correct. In choosing three items to illustrate, I knew I should have left pride off the list and included a simple statement for failure to strengthen the hand of the poor and needy, but I was pressed for time and forgot to do that. So there is another item on the list that God calls abomination. I hope that the discovery does not detract from the point being made. There are other abominations besides homosexuality, but it is one of them. More importantly, we have all sinned, but the blood of Jesus Christ is powerful enough to cover every sin. The point of my post was that God does not send judgment because of a single sin. However, past judgments on others should teach us that it is not wise to continue in sin. God requires that we repent and he offers us forgiveness. Christ bore God’s judgment for all our sins and we can have salvation through faith in him. |
