(BTW, Jesus never mentioned homosexuality.) Are you more righteous than Jesus?
I didnt intend on saying anything on this as it has been discussed several places but one thing that fires me up quickly is someone saying God never mentioned anything in His Word about homosexuals. Thats a blatant lie straight from the pit of hell and for anyone to say different just shows they have never studied scripture. He spoke of it in both the O.T. & N.T.
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman.
It is an
abomination."
(Leviticus 18:22)
abomination "to reek with stench") – properly, what emits a foul odor and hence is
disgustingly abhorrent (
abominable, detestable); (figuratively)
moral horror as a
stench to God (like when people refuse to hear and obey His voice).
"If a man lies with a male as he lies 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)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will
NOT inherit the Kingdom of God"
Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, ...
nor adulterers,
nor homosexuals,
nor sodomites,
nor thieves, ...will inherit the Kingdom of God.
And such were some of you. (We are
all sinners ... 'Repent' means stop and return to God)
But you were washed (by the innocent blood of Jesus which was shed for
all of our sins)
But you were sanctified (means "set apart")
But you were justified (justified means "just as if it had never happened ...")
in the Name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
(1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:26 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:
Rom 1:27 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.
Rom 1:28 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;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 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.
Here in Romans it goes even further to say
even those who APPROVE of those who practice such things are worthy of death !
Stop condemning those whom God loves. (
John 3:16)
So, who loves the homosexual more? One who tells them it's okay to continue in a sin the Bible warns will condemn them to an eternity in Hell ... or someone who is willing to endure the anger, ridicule, and hate to warn them
and to try to get them into Heaven as a neighbor and as a friend? In Proverbs 27:6 God says, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend ... but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." Jesus Christ said more about Hell than He did about Heaven ... and the true believing Christian will try to get as many boys, girls, men, and women into the Kingdom of Heaven as possible. If a Christian truly hated the homosexual (or
anyone willfully sinning against God's law) they would simply keep silent and let them suffer in the eternal darkness, loneliness, and torment of Hell. Yet,
all believing Christians have had to come face-to-face with the fact we are
all sinners and desperately need a 'Savior' to save us from
our sins and from Hell. Jesus Christ
commands us to 'love our enemies' ... and you
can't love someone without warning them when they are in great and grave danger.
It is
false doctrine in
direct opposition to God's Word that teaches God's "love" approves of
or accepts homosexuality. The Bible clearly says homosexuality-lesbianism is
sin. Jesus said He came to
save sinners ... Jesus suffered and died for
all sinners.
And we are all sinners. God hates sin because He endured the Cross to suffer and die for all our sins ... and
because He knows the terrible consequences.
As Paul explains “
Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:18-19). Every human body was created to be a temple of the Holy Spirit! Through Christ, the bodies of the elect are cleansed and made inhabitable by Him
