Reader, The quoted texts above are all the Bible has to say on the subject of homosexuality, that i know of. A person with litle intellegence would be able to see what God thinks and says of man on man and woman on woman. This article is not going to be an attack upon the homosexual. This article will be a lesson on the “alternative” life-style. This alternative life-style has not only become an acceptable way of life, it has become a protected way of life. If one (1) speaks negatively regarding the life-style, one (1) will be labeled a Homophobe, biggot, racist, and hater. If one questions the gay life-style, with and in sincerety, one (1) will be attacked even physically attacked.
We learn from Romans 1 that God is not judging homosexuality, but homosexuality IS the Judgment of God upon a people and peoples that despise Him.
Can a homosexual be a Christ-ian? Yes. but with all sin and sins one must fight against the old man, the carnal man. Can a greedy person be a Christian? Can a Glutton be a Christ-ian? Can a murderer be a Christ-ian? My point is: SIN is SIN, James tells us if one (1) law is broken all the law is broken. Did not Christ sacrifice HimSelf for all sin and sins?
The question that should be asked is: Does God find pleasure and purpose in the homosexual? God uses the homosexual and his life-style and world-view and actions as the texts above pronounce and proclaim.
How is the Christ-ian to deal with the homosexual? judgment upon humanity. God does not find pleasure in the homosexual as the quoted Simple….Love thy neighbor as thyself. The Christ-ian is against this life-style and s/he is obligated by the Scriptures to warn the sodomite and others against this life-style. BUT when dealing with a person, that is part of the movement, one (1) should do as Christ has taught us, Love your enemy and do right by them.
What is the Homophile Christ-ian who has same sex attraction to do?
*Pray, pray, and pray. Be honest with God.
*Do not become active in the gay life-style.
*Marry a Christ-ian woman and do what a heterol-sexual man would do.
*The homosexual is a person that is “all in.”
*The Homophile is attracted to the same sex, but does not act upon the inclinations.
I know this sounds easier than doing it. HOWEVER!!! God says in Isaiah 56:4,
“For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbath, and choose the things that please [M]e and take hold of [M]y covenant; Even unto them will I give in [M]ine house and within [M]y walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
I know not what all that means, but I know God and God will do more for you than you can ask for and or even think about.
Godspeed.
