We can go into scripture and see that homosexuality is
considered a sin by God. Cite Genesis 19:1-13, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus
20:13, Romans 1:26-27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9. Now if you read each passage you
may find specific verses about this subject you will find a wide range of other
sins that are “detestable” to God. Take 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that says who “will
not inherit the kingdom of God”:
9 Know
ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind,10 Nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God.
You know what I see? People who have sex out of wedlock,
people who idol things including cars, tv stars, homes or whatever. I see
people who are drunkards, extortioners and thieves. I see ME in that mix more
than a homosexual couple who wants to marry the one they love. So how can WE
judge any person based on standards most, if not all, would or have failed in
their lives?
Research all the passages and you will see if we get on our
high horses about this, then we MUST do the same for people who eat all you can
eat shrimp since gluttony and eating shellfish are “detestable” to God also!
We can go to nature and say well the species cannot
reproduce itself with same sex partnerships. While this is true, the species
can also survive with the low numbers of gay people verse sexually active heterosexuals.
At least for male acts, the main orifice used in the act of sex is designed for
expelling waste and rips when entered into. We don’t really need to explore
this anymore, you get the point nature says no also.
Or does it? Every homosexual I have known since their youth
has grown up “normal” yet at an early age seemed to trend gay. So I do believe
people are BORN that way, if so why would God have created someone to sin or be alone? Sure we can say psychopaths are born wanting to kill but can control it
and just become lawyers. So someone may be attracted to the other sex does not
mean they need to follow through. Back and forth we go. The clear point is
people are born that way.
Scripture does support the gay lifestyle also, like in
Genesis 2:18 when Eve was made:
Adonai, God,
said, “It isn’t good that the person should be alone. I will make for him a
companion suitable for helping him.” – CJB
If someone like same sex companionship they why does this
not apply to them?
One also could look at Ruth and Naomi’s relationship or
David and Jonathan’s and say they were gay, at least David was bi since he also
had many wives. So if David was a man God loved then how could he do this and
still be loved?
In the end, what does God really think? Now if man, in his
arrogance, thinks he knows the answer then you can finally partake in the fruit
from the tree of knowledge without sinning!! The key I see is right or wrong,
who cares! We are told to love everyone as ourselves and therefore not to treat
others with disdain because we THINK their lifestyle is wrong. No we just need
to keep sharing the Gospel of Jesus and welcoming ALL through our doors. If it
IS wrong, the Holy Spirit can deal with it later. He doesn’t need my help!!!
The classic CHURCH sign recently said “we are sorry
that gay marriage upsets the sanctity of your forth marriage”!
