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. Yes, the apostate church is a matter of grave concern but not any real surprise to those of us who believe God's word. Our Lord told us how it will be as did Paul writing under the Spirit's inspiration. "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" (1 Timothy 4:1). The "deceiving spirits" constitute the satanic deception which caused the fall of man (Gen. 3:13; 2 Cor. 11:3) and characterize what is happening in these latter times (Matthew 24:4-14). But thanks be to God, "because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). --Hank |
