In the final part of his original remark, the person whom I
am quoting said 'The only 'true' way to find out if God
dislikes gays is to ask him'. I must admit that I find this
person's comment rather unbelievable. As one who is quite
knowledgeable of the Word of the Lord, all I can ask is, why
is there any need to even ask God if He likes gays? He has
already made it abundantly clear to us through His Written
Word, exactly how He feels about such relationships. Please
excuse my temporary slip into sarcasm, but how should one go
about asking Him? Using a bit of imagination, perhaps it
would be something like the following:
Homosexual: 'Well you see Lord, I know that in the Bible it
states that You destroyed two whole cities because of their
homosexuality, but quite frankly, being as you are God,
surely you must realize that the whole Book is just full of
errors. As a matter of fact Lord, I don't even believe that
it is your inspired Word at all. It was just a fabrication
of male chauvinists who were trying to force their ideas on
people at that particular time in history. So tell me, just
between you and me Lord, what is your real position on my
having anal intercourse with another man?'
'The Lord': 'Hiss, hiss...Well, my son, you see...'
Homosexual: 'What's that? As long as it is done out of real
love it is okay? Gee...thanks Lord! That is precisely what I
have thought all along! It certainly makes me glad to know
that we see eye to eye on this issue. All of those silly
Christians have been lying to me, and telling me otherwise
by using that stupid Book of theirs. I was starting to get a
little worried, and was beginning to think that maybe they
were right. At least now I know who they must be listening
to! Well, thanks for setting me straight on this Lord. If
you'll excuse me now, I have to run because I have a date
with my boyfriend. Hmmm...I wonder what that strange
sulphurous smell is.'
Well, excuse my dramatism. I hope I haven't offended any of
my Christian readers who are of a more sensitive nature. I
am sure you realize that I am using the above imaginary
scene for shock value, in order to show you the depth of the
deception into which some of these poor people have fallen.
If any of them really are taking the time to ask the Lord
about this, I seriously doubt that it is the same Lord that
we Christians know who is answering them. As I explained in
part one of this series, this is exactly where the problem
lies. By denying that the Bible is the inspired Word of God,
or by saying that it is flawed, homosexuals and lesbians
have insulated themselves from being convicted by the Truth
which is revealed within its pages. As the Apostle Paul
wrote in his Epistle to the Roman brethren:
"...for by the law is the knowledge of sin." (Romans 3:20b)
"What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I
had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust,
except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet."
(Romans 7:7)
Thus again we see why these people reject the Bible; or why
they attempt to twist its meaning; or why they simply choose
to ignore particular verses. So exactly what does the Bible
have to say about these sexual perversions? As you will soon
see, the answer is quite clear. There is no need to try to
interpret it. It is as plain as day. If we take a look at
the very first example in the Bible, we see that the Lord
destroyed two entire cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, because of
their sin of homosexuality. As some of you know, it is from
the city of Sodom, in the plain of Zoar, that homosexuality
received its alternative name of sodomy.
In Genesis chapter eighteen, we have the Lord appearing to
Abraham in the plain of Mamre, along with two of His angelic
agents. It is during this encounter that the Lord informs
Abraham that his wife Sarah will have a child in her old
age. It is also here that Abraham discovers the Lord's
intention to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Because his nephew
Lot resides there, Abraham begins to plead with the Lord,
asking Him to spare the cities if He finds any righteous men
living there. While Abraham pleads with the Lord, His two
angels go down to survey the cities. What some of you may
not realize, is that these cities were so filled with sexual
perversion, that even the young boys were engaging in these
evil practices. This is verified by the following verse:
"But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men
of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all
the people from every quarter:" (Genesis 19:4)
Please notice that this wasn't just a matter of a few men
and a few boys engaging in sodomy; the whole town, in fact
at least two towns, were engaged in these evil practices. It
is right after this that we read of how the evil Sodomites
attempt to have sex with the two Angels. In his attempt to
prevent them from further sinning against the Lord, Lot
instead offers them his two virgin daughters. This doesn't
work, and the two Angels are forced to curse the men and
boys of Sodom with blindness:
"And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the
men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto
us, that we may know them. And Lot went out at the door unto
them, and shut the door after him, And said, I pray you,
brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two
daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you,
bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in
your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore
came they under the shadow of my roof. And they said, Stand
back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to
sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal
worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon
the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the
men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to
them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were
at the door of the house with blindness, both small and
great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door."
(Genesis 19:5-11)
For those of you who are not aware of the fact, those words
'to know' are Elizabethan English for the act of having sex
with someone. These evil men wanted to have anal sex with
the Angels of God! What I find amazing is the fact that even
after this display of Divine Power, Lot still has difficulty
leaving Sodom. We are told that he lingers, and that the
Angels finally have to grab him and his wife and daughters
by the hand, and literally drag them out of Sodom. It wasn't
easy for them to give up their easy manner of living. Maybe
they even thought that these men of Sodom were nice folks
inspite of their nasty sex habits. We hear the very same
kind of comments being made today by those who know certain
homosexuals or lesbians. Sadly, a person can be living deep
in sin, and still appear nice outwardly:
"And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and
upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two
daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they
brought him forth, and set him without the city. And it came
to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he
said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither
stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest
thou be consumed." (Genesis 19:16-17)
No one can deny the spirit of liberalism which has swept the
world in the past few decades. This has been accomplished in
large part due to the many poorer nations of the world which
are desirous of emulating the unbridled lifestyle of Western
culture; particularly that of the United States Of America.
Just about every kind of illicit activity is now permissible
somewhere in the world. If you can't do it here, simply go
over there to that city or to that country. There are now
havens all over the world for men and women who practice
homosexuality and lesbianism, even in so-called Christian
America. As you will see later on in this series, some of
them even hold positions of respect within the world of
politics.
As I mentioned a moment ago, one thing we hear quite often
is how gays and lesbians are all such nice people. They
don't want to bother anyone. They just want to live their
lives in peace. I agree; we all want this; and we all have a
right to this; however, that still does not negate the fact
that God is firmly opposed to such practices. It's possible
that some of the people living in Sodom and Gomorrah were
also nice people. Maybe poor Lot even felt sorry for them;
but do you see where such a mentality leads if we follow it
to its conclusion? Failure to acknowledge that homosexuality
and lesbianism are vile sins, is to accuse God of making a
mistake. It is to judge God, and to say that He was wrong in
destroying those two cities. Is that what you think? Do you
personally have the audacity to question and criticize the
Almighty God? If so, consider the words of the Prophet
Isaiah, the Patriarch Job, and the Apostle Paul:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
"How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be
clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and
it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which
is a worm?" (Job 25:4-6)
"Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?
Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast
thou made me thus?" (Romans 9:20)
If you honestly believe that you know better than God, or
that you have a right to judge Him, then may the Lord have
mercy on your soul! You have a lot to learn about fearing
and reverencing the Lord! As I explain in my article 'Satan:
Origin, Purpose And Future,' that is exactly the same kind
of an attitude that the Devil has, and look at what has
happened to him! God does not make mistakes! He knows what
He is doing! When He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, He knew
precisely what He was doing. In speaking about Sodom and
Gomorrah, and Lot's hesitation to leave, and his final
deliverance from temptation, the Apostle Peter wrote:
"The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of
judgment to be punished:" (2 Peter 2:9)
In this case, as we have seen, Lot didn't make the conscious
choice to leave those sinful cities of his own accord. He
had to literally be dragged away from their wickedness, lest
he and his family were destroyed along with them. We can
only wonder why Lot offered such resistance; or why he even
chose to live amongst the Sodomites in the first place. Even
after this deliverance, Lot continued to complain about
having to leave the comfort behind and go to the mountain;
so the Angels agreed to allow him to take his family instead
to a small city called Zoar. Once they safely arrived there,
the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Not only that, we are
told that He destroyed the entire plain. He obliterated
everything that grew there. Some people suggest that this
was due to a volcanic eruption, but that is not what the
Scriptures teach us. Jesus described the following scene in
the same way in the Gospels:
"The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into
Zoar. Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he
overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the
inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the
ground." (Genesis 19:23-25)
From the beginning of the Bible to the very end, we find the
Lord raining down His judgments from above; from Sodom and
Gomorrah, to Egypt, to the final Vials of Wrath in the Book
of Revelation. We read of brimstone and fire, fire mingled
with blood, Wormwood, gigantic boulders and more. Exactly
what these things are, I can only theorize. Perhaps they are
related to astronomical events. In fact, as I explain in
other articles, Satan is the Lord's executioner; he is the
god of this world; and the prince of the power of the air;
so perhaps he is actually the one who sends these things
with God's permission; just as in the story of Job. The main
point to consider here is that the Lord was very serious
about this; so much so, that when Lot's wife turned back,
possibly in a moment of doubt or vacillation, we are told
that she immediately became a pillar of salt:
"But his wife looked back from behind him and she became a
pillar of salt." (Genesis 19:26)
I honestly don't know what that means. That word 'salt' is
derived from the Hebrew word 'melach', pronounced meh'-lakh,
which really only has one definition; and that is salt. I do
know that there is a certain rock pillar in Israel which is
claimed to be the actual remains of Lot's wife; but given
political, economic and tourism-related interests, I have
seriously reservations about accepting this as truth. If we
accept that Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt
exactly as the Scriptures state, then it seems likely that
by now it would have been eroded by time, wind, rain and
other natural forces. Of course, the Lord could purposely
have allowed it to remain in order to serve as a sober
reminder of His intense dislike for homosexuality. When
Abraham got up early that morning to see what had happened,
he viewed the awesome destruction of the Lord:
"And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the
land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the
country went up as the smoke of a furnace."
(Genesis 19:28)
Considering this terrible judgment from the Lord upon two
entire cities, how can anyone possibly doubt the gravity of
their sin when they engage in the practice of homosexuality?
What more does the Lord have to do to convince such people
that this is not according to His natural plan? I am sure
that following the total destruction of two entire cities
plus the surrounding plain, the story, and the fear of the
Lord, must have travelled far and wide for many years to
come. Sadly, in our day and age, while we still have the
Biblical record, the fear and Godly reverence inspired by
the event have lost much of their impact due to the pride
and hard-heartedness of sinful men. If you want to consider
a really odd twist to this event, consider how man played
'God' five decades ago when he likewise destroyed two entire
cities with nuclear fire. I am reminded of the words of our
Lord when He said:
"...Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"
(John 10:34)
In addition to this, we are also told in the Book of
Revelation that the Beast and the Ten Horns will destroy the
mysterious Babylon the Great Whore with fire; quite possibly
atomic fire, sometime in the future. I discuss this event in
much more detail in some of my Endtime articles such as
'Revelation's Babylon The Great Whore'. I hope you will read
it:
"And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these
shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."
(Revelation 17:16)
Well, over five hundred years after the destruction of Sodom
and Gomorrah, the Lord decided that it was time to give us
The Rules in written form so that we could no longer claim
ignorance as an excuse for our sins; including the various
sins of sexual perversion. In Leviticus chapter eighteen, we
find the Laws concerning incest, adultery, sex with animals
and homosexuality. According to the Mosaic Law, all of these
things were worthy of death by stoning:
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination: they shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
(Leviticus 20:13)
"There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the sons of Israel." (Deuteronomy 23:17)
One of the things which angered the Lord the most about the
people of Sodom, was how blatant they were about their sin.
They made absolutely no attempt whatsoever to hide their
sexual perversion; even from the Angels of the Lord! As I
said before, this exact same situation exists today. We have
apartment complexes, towns and cities which have fallen
under the influence of these kinds of people! They are on
city councils and on school boards! They blatantly express
their sinful lusts in public! They entice young people to
share in their sinful lifestyle by publishing books and
distributing them in our public school system! Through this
method, they are endeavoring to brainwash our children into
accepting homosexuality and lesbianism as normal alternative
lifestyles! As you will see by the time you have finished
reading this series, they are now even being so bold as to
try to legalize same-sex marriages; and certain politicians
and clergy are siding with them! It is sick, sick, sick! In
describing the blatancy of the sins of Jerusalem and Judah,
the Lord through the mouth of the Prophet Isaiah compared it
to the sin of Sodom:
"The shew of their countenance doth witness against them;
and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe
unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto
themselves." (Isaiah 3:9)
Less than two hundred years later, when the Prophet Jeremiah
was lamenting the destruction of Jerusalem, he also compared
it to the destruction which befell the city of Sodom. Notice
that the Prophet also comments on the swiftness with which
Sodom was destroyed, just as we will witness the quick
destruction of the wicked in the near future:
"For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my
people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom,
that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on
her." (Lamentations 4:6)
In the final book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, the
aging Apostle John even tells us that one of the spiritual
names for the city of Jerusalem is Sodom:
"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great
city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where
also our Lord was crucified." (Revelation 11:8)
As can be seen then, throughout the Bible, the example of
Sodom and Gomorrah is used in three contexts: It is used to
denote the seriousness of sexual perversion; it is used to
denote sinful blatancy in general; and it is used to denote
the spiritual condition of Jerusalem. In all three contexts,
they are an expression of the Lord's extreme anger and
displeasure. As an aside, I should also mention that there
may be additional significance in referring to Jerusalem as
spiritual Sodom. Could it be that the same fate awaits
Jerusalem that befell Sodom and Gomorrah? Allow me to again
refer you to my article 'Revelation's Babylon The Great
Whore' for more details. In our current day, Sodom and
Gomorrah are clearly meant to serve as a warning to those
who continue to blatantly defy God's natural laws. Peter and
Jude both made this very clear when they wrote the
following:
"And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample
unto those that after should live ungodly;" (2 Peter 2:6)
"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in
like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and
going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." (Jude 1:7)
With all of this Biblical evidence, is it any wonder then
that many homosexuals and lesbians have rejected the Bible
as being the inspired Word of God? What I find interesting,
is that while these people reject the Laws written by Moses
as directed by God Himself thousands of years ago, they
accept with little resistance or question, any new laws
which are enacted by modern man in the legislative branch of
government. In fact, as I discuss in more shocking detail
later on in this series, they have succeeded at further
advancing the gay and lesbian agenda in Washington, D.C.!
Allow me to pose some very interesting questions to you.
Considering that many constitutions around the world are
based on the Oracles first given at Sinai, why is it that
those laws pertaining to homosexuality and lesbianism have
been rejected? Why weren't they included in governmental
constitutions? Again, the truth of the matter is that by
getting rid of the Rule Book, or at least by disposing of
those parts that they don't like, these people can feign
ignorance to the Laws of God. Unfortunately for them, this
holds very little weight in the Courts of Heaven. As I
mentioned earlier, God's Laws are not just written in a
book; they are written on the tables of our hearts by His
Spirit. We often refer to this as the voice of conscience:
"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy
neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:"
(Proverbs 3:3)
"Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of
thine heart." (Proverbs 7:3)
"The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with
the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their
heart, and upon the horns of your altars;" (Jeremiah 17:1)
"Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle
of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with
the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in
fleshy tables of the heart." (2 Corinthians 3:3)
It doesn't matter where we live, or who we are; deep within
our beings, we all know what is right, and what is wrong.
Even if we didn't have the Bible, we would still be held
accountable for our actions. Whether we live in some modern
city, or in some remote village deep in the jungles of
Indonesia, we still know that it is wrong to kill; it is
wrong to steal; it is wrong to have sex with our neighbor's
wife; and it is wrong to have sex with a person of the same
sex. God has put it in us to know. No one can deny this or
feign ignorance; even if they try to rub God out of their
lives or say that the Bible is not His inspired Word.
One would have to completely harden his heart to God's
Spirit in order to not know these things; and actually, it
isn't that he doesn't know them; it is just that because of
his own willfulness, he has chosen to consciously and
purposely block out the Voice of God speaking to his wicked
heart! Sadly, this is exactly what is happening in our
modern day. Many people have become so hardened against God,
that they are past feeling anything. They have become so
darkened in their understanding due to sin and rebellion in
their lives, that they have no idea of the spiritual depths
to which they have fallen. It may surprise you to know, that
almost two thousand years ago, the Apostle Paul described
this very thing when he wrote the following to the brethren
at Ephesus:
"This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is
in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being
past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness,
to work all uncleanness with greediness."
(Ephesians 4:17-19)
Isn't the Word of God amazing? God knows the score folks;
and He has known it for a very long time. He made us; He
knows what is in us; He knows of what we are capable, both
good and evil. A little further on in the same chapter, in
encouraging the brethren to forsake their old lives and the
lustful ways of the flesh, Paul wrote:
"That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old
man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;"
(Ephesians 4:22)
We will be taking a closer look at the war between the old
man of the flesh and the new man of the Spirit in part three
of this series. Paul also had to deal with a very serious
problem concerning fornication between certain members of
the church at Corinth. In describing the brethren there, he
said that they were so into the flesh, that they were worse
than the Gentiles themselves! In at least one case, a son
was apparently having sex with his mother:
"It is reported commonly that there is fornication among
you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among
the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife."
(1 Corinthians 5:1)
However, out of all of the sexual problems Paul had to deal
with, it seems that those he encountered in Rome were the
most serious. Whether these problems were actually occurring
within the church itself, similar to the news reports we
read today concerning modern Roman Catholicism; or whether
Paul was describing sexual perversion in general amongst the
Roman populace, is hard to say. If we consider the fact that
both the Roman and Grecian empires were totally overcome by
hedonism, that is, wildly experiencing all of the pleasures
of the flesh, it isn't difficult to understand why Paul felt
motivated to write the following to the Roman brethren. As
you will see, it appears that the Romans were practicing
both unrefrained homosexuality and lesbianism, and possibly
even bestiality as well; that is, sex with animals:
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God
gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did
change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves
that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as
they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are
not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full
of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without
understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not
only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
(Romans 1:24-32)
Notice Paul's phrase 'and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which was meet'. As I explain in
part four of this series, it appears that he is saying that
they are getting exactly what they deserve for indulging in
such sexual perversions. This is particularly true today
with the spread of the AIDS virus. While many wild theories
and speculations abound as to the origin of this killer
virus, many Christians are convinced that it is nothing
short of a judgment of God upon the wicked. Remember, in the
Mosaic Law we are told that these things are punishable by
death. Through the AIDS virus, could it be that the Lord is
indeed meting out the death sentence to these people? Even
though man has sought for a cure for this dreaded disease,
he has failed; just as he has failed to cure many of the
other maladies which plague humankind. Could it be that in
his ignorance, he is trying to stop the judgments of God
upon a wicked and perverse world?
Notice also the very last verse. Paul says that they are
well aware that they will be subject to the judgments of
God. They know that according to the Mosaic Law, they are
worthy of death; yet that gives them even more pleasure in
practicing such sexual perversions! It is as if they are
mocking God to His Face! As we saw earlier, what really
upsets the Lord the most about this is the blatancy of their
sin! They don't even care what God thinks! These sick people
blaspheme God and His Word when they flaunt their lifestyle
and demand equal rights; when they set up so-called churches
specifically for those of the gay and lesbian persuasions;
and when they promote legislation for same-sex marriages.
How can God turn His back on such blatant sins? Unless He
does something about it, He will owe Sodom and Gomorrah an
apology. But, we know that He is going to do something about
it, and very soon at that! He is just waiting for the world
to fill up its cup of iniquity so that He can begin to pour
out His righteous judgments!
One subtle idea which is becoming quite popular these days,
is the belief that homosexuality and lesbianism are genetic
aberrations. In other words, those who support this view are
indirectly claiming 'Oh, these lifestyles have nothing to do
with sin. There is really nothing spiritually wrong with
these people. Homosexuality and lesbianism are a disease, a
genetic disorder. We should pity those people afflicted with
these things; we should feel sorry for them; after all, it
isn't their fault; they were born that way. How can anyone
judge them for something for which they are not really
responsible? In fact, how can God even judge them? What's
wrong with Him anyway? What's wrong with you Christians
anyway? You and your God are the problem, and not the gays
and the lesbians!'.
As I mentioned earlier in this series, do you see how
innocently that type of reasoning starts out? It is just
like the idea of saying that homosexuals and lesbians are
nice people; but if you follow it through to its conclusion,
you end up totally denying that they are sinning against
God! Not only that, but you erroneously conclude that God
would be wrong to judge them for something over which they
have no control. Well, they do have control over it, because
we all have the free will to choose! If they would believe
in God and ask Him for His help, they would be permanently
delivered from these sins of the flesh; and we will look
more at this issue in part three of this article.
To conclude part two of this series, allow me to say that I
feel sorry for those who through ignorance, have fallen into
such a perverted lifestyle at an early age. Perhaps they
were young children who were intentionally induced into it
by an older person. If such be the case, then they should be
pitied. If it is in our power to do so, and if they want it,
we should try to help them by witnessing to them; after all,
we are here to be a witness of the Lord's love and mercy and
forgiveness; but, they must want that mercy and forgiveness,
and realize that they need it. If nothing else, if you know
someone like that, you can at least pray for them. The most
important thing to remember, is that we are to love the
sinner, but to hate the sin; and we will be examining this
more closely as we continue our discussion.
On the other hand, it is those people who are old enough to
know better than to engage in these things for whom I have
very little compassion. They know that homosexuality and
lesbianism are wrong and a sin against God, and against
themselves, and against others; and yet they openly flaunt
it, pursue it, and seek to entice others into it in order to
satisfy their own selfish lusts. These are the ones I can't
stomach. These are the ones I find disgusting. I think what
they do is an abomination to God; especially those who take
it to the extreme and engage in such repulsive practices as
transvestitism and actual sex changes!
When these people choose not to marry a person of the
opposite sex, but rather to live with and/or marry someone
of the same sex in order to fulfill their sexual desires,
this is absolutely wrong as all of the Scriptures I have
presented clearly bear out. When they engage in these types
of sick relationships, and also choose to adopt children in
order to experience the blessing reserved for those who do
follow God's natural laws, I find it repulsive. If they want
children so bad, then they should forsake their sinful ways,
and live a normal life so that the Lord can bless them. What
kind of perverted views are those children going to have as
they grow up? Are they too going to want to have sex with or
marry someone of the same gender? God forbid!
If you happen to be a homosexual or a lesbian, God can and
wants to give you the Grace and the Power to resist those
fleshly temptations, but first you have to be willing to
yield both your body and your life to Him. In fact, you must
allow Him to give you an entirely new life and to make you a
new creature in Christ Jesus. You must undergo a complete
spiritual rebirth; and I will be talking about this more in
part three of this series. I do hope you will join me. You
just might gain a much-needed victory in your life if you
do.
The Lord loves you dearly, but He hates what you are doing
to yourself and to others. He is willing to forgive you if
you are willing to humbly admit that your current lifestyle
is wrong; and that you have been in rebellion against His
Will for your life. He wants to help you to overcome your
problem, but you must acknowledge that you cannot do it on
your own. God has given you the freedom of personal choice
to choose between good and evil. You do not have to continue
in bondage to this sin of the flesh. You can be freed from
it. You must realize that we all have negative, evil or
perverted thoughts just about every day of our lives; but
that doesn't mean we have to yield to them. In fact, we
don't have to yield to them, for as the Apostle Paul wrote:
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to
man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
That way of escape is through accepting Jesus Christ as your
personal Saviour, and then allowing Him to take complete
control of your life; for as our Lord said:
"...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
He is the One who can work through you and in you by His
Spirit to make you the person you were meant to be. He can
clean up your life, your mind, and your body, and give you a
healthy sexual appetite as was ordained by God. Will you
allow Him to do this for you? He is ready, willing and able.
Whatever your choice, jut remember, once you hear the Truth,
you are responsible for it, and are held accountable for
your actions. If homosexuality or lesbianism happens to be
your problem, by reading this article, you have now been
given the full Truth and counsel of God's Word. You have
been given the solution to your problem. Jesus told us that
all sins will be forgiven against men except for blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost. To resist the Spirit of Truth, is
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. Will you continue to
resist God's Spirit in your life; or will you humbly yield
yourself and your body to Him? The choice is yours. But
please remember this if you continue to resist:
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the
knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice
for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and
fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries...It
is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living
God." (Hebrews 10:26-27, 31)
Whether you are a homosexual or a lesbian, or someone who is
trying to help people who are of these persuasions, please
join me in part three of this series; as I'll be presenting
a lot of additional material which will not only expose the
extent to which the gay and lesbian community has achieved
their goals, but which will also explain what it truly means
to be a new creature in Christ Jesus. I pray that this
series is being a blessing in your life.
