Bible Question:
My question is of great concern. Why is the luthern Church or any other Church considering ordination of any active homosexual. I keep reading my Bible and find no passage that comes close to making this acceptable. Some are also considering samesex(homosexual)marrages. The Bible is very clear that this is not an acceptable practice. Any Christian within that body should quickly run for their lives if they find no way to throw out this thought. The church is God's or it is not a Church. Check Lev 20:13 and many more. |
Bible Answer: Hi JWeaver and welcome to the forum! You are correct there is no such scripture, in fact, the bible clearly states that homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord. In 2Thes 2:3 it states that in the end times there will be a great falling away. Verse 9-12 says that that "the coming of the lawless one is, according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders". It goes on to say tthat there will be unrighteous deception among those who will perish because they did not accept the truth that they might be saved. In v 11 it warns us that God will send those people stong delusion, that they should believe the lie. There are many who love sin and pleasure and prefer to believe a lie rather than the truth. The MacArthur study bble explains it this way: "God Himself will send judgment that insures their fate in the form of a deluding influence so that they continue to believe what is false. They accept evil as good and a lie as the truth. Thus does God use Satan and the Antichrist as His instruments of judgment (1Kin 22:19-33)". This is what is happening today not only with the lie of homosexuality but with many other issues as well. Satan can and will use pastors and churches to deceive people just as he will use anyone else. prayon |
