“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?  Be not deceived: neither…effeminates, not abusers of themselves with mankind…”                                                                                                                   (Part of 1 Corinthians 6:9)

 

On face Book today I read a comment by a Christ-ian man that gave a litany of things happening in the world and all the wickedness that is everyday life.  It was interesting to me that one of the persons that replied was a lesbian who said, “I’m a lesbian and I don’t think I’m %^##*&^ up the world.”  By her statement, she must believe that others do believe she is, well….harming the world.  The truth is she is correct!!!….Heretical Preacher say, what????  This is one of those articles that can get me in trouble with both sides.

Scripture does not teach that the homosexual is going to destroy the world.  In fact, if one takes a close look at Romans chapter one (1) one will realize that homosexuality is a judgement upon a nation for it’s turning against God and His laws. In other words homosexuality is the result not the cause.  In Romans 1:27, at the end of the passage we read, “…and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”  Most ill-read preachers say this passage teaches that AIDS, HIV, and STDs is the recompence…which was meet or in other words, these sexual diseases is the homosexuals just due.

The fact is the recompence is for their error of all that Paul lists previous to this verse. The homosexual plaque that is encroaching upon everyday life is the result of God turning this nation over to a reprobate mind!!!  However, one could argue that the 2008 financial crisis was a recompence as well as are wars and rumours of wars, etc.  Another argument can be made that the natural affections of fathers or lack thereof is a recompence upon a nation.  God allowing abortion on demand is a recompence upon a nation that chooses to wipe God out of thought.  Reader, the above are not the results of our nation forsaking God but the results.  There is a pattern in the O.T.. God’s people would turn from Him unto other things and He would send them into captivity….America is being held captive by atheists, evolutionists, (s)atan controlled politicians (Not talking about Trump), and the militant homosexuals.

As for popping the bubble of the homosexuals…The sin of the effeminate (submissive position) and the abuser of himself with mankind (dominant position) is just another sin. Like greed, lying, stealing, backbiting, gossiping, judging, etc.  In fact, if we look at the rest of our Scripture from 1 Corinthians 6, we would find that heterosexual fornicators, idolaters, heterosexual adulterers, thieves, covetousness, drunkards, and extortioners (remember 2008) are listed with the homosexual.

As to our third (3rd) title from above, “Homosexuality v. Homophilia,” there is a great difference between the two (2).  We wrote on this not to long ago but as we know not all our readers read us “religiously,”  we will (DV) make a few remarks upon the differences. The homophile is a person who was BORN with inclinations to same sex attraction, but refuse those inclinations for whatever reason.  The homesexual is one who is BORN with inclinations to same sex attractions and act upon those inclinations and live their lives in that way.

In Isaiah (56) fifty-six, God promises the eunuch a great place in His kingdom. A eunuch was a man that was castrated in order to serve royalty.  It seems to me that a person that seeks to remain chaste, especially the homophile, would be included if the homophile remains chaste and a “eunuch” of sorts in order to please and honour God and God’s laws.  I cannot be dogmatic on this but it makes sense.

A few words on a Christ-ian that sets homosexuality above all other sins is not sound.  I am familiar with homosexuality being an abomination.  Here is a short list of other abominations:
*A false balance
*The scarifice of the wicked
*Evil Plans
*He would justifies the wicked and condemns the just
*Lying lips
*The heart that devises wickedness
*The devious
*Everyone who is proud in heart
*The proud look, lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, feet swift to mischief, and he that soweth discord between brothers.

Brethren, If you consider the militant homosexual movement to be an enemy, you are correct, but if you consider the individual to be an enemy…love is the command.

To the homosexual, Please do not take this article to be a defense of your life style for it is not anything close to a defense.  It is simply a Scriptural overview on the topic.
I would be remiss in my call if I did not tell you that God holds forth the offer of forgiveness to you just as he holds forth this offer to those that are greedy, hateful, thieves, murderers, gossipers, back biters, those with a contentious spirit, etc.  A sinner is a sinner in the Eyes of God. You, homosexual are a sinner just like any heterosexual.

Christ Jesus lived a sinless life and died the sinner’s death and rose again.  Christ did His work so that anyone and everyone that would believe in Him and His work as their own, could be saved from sin…it’s penalty, it’s pleasure, it’s power, and someday, it’s very presence.  In other words, if anyone will repent of their sin and trust Christ as their Lord, and Saviour, they can be saved.  It sounds simple but their are myriads of persons that will testify to it’s veracity and power.

Homophile, I encourage you to continue your self denial as you have taken up your cross and are following Him….one will never regret not looking back for Christ is a Rewarder of those that love Him and live for Him.
