HOMOSEXUAL
SIN
First, I want to say that I know I will offend many people, and I will be hated for what I say. But I honestly have no choice! Many years ago, when God told me to teach His Word, I did as He commanded. That was back in the early 70's. I studied the Bible, and I taught the Bible. I am still doing it today and have NO intentions of stopping! I absolutely believe that the Bible is God's Holy Word to us here on Earth. It teaches us how to live so that we will NOT end up in the lake of fire. YES!!! There is a Hell, a lake of fire, and anyone who willfully disobeys God, shall be sent there by Him. He does NOT want you to go there . . . but IF a person continues on in sin, God has NO choice. He CANNOT lie (Tit.1:2). He says that unless you trust and obey Him, you shall be cast into the Lake of fire (Rev.20:15).
Romans 1:24-32 Wherefore
God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[25] 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. [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: [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. [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; [29] Being
filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,
deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30] Backbiters, haters of
God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, [31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [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. [KJV]
We are NOT puppets on a string to God. He allows
us to make our own decisions . . . be they good or bad. It is a
good thing, in many ways that He gives us a free will, but
in many other ways, it can cause us grief in this life . .
. and much worse . . . in the life to come! I truly do believe
that we are given this life on Earth to decide where we will
spend eternity. I believe this with my whole heart; that is
why I reach out to people with the Gospel of Jesus as I do.
He does not want anyone to go to Hell, that is why He taught
SO much on Hell. He taught more on Hell than He did any other
subject. Since He is
my Master, and I am to imitate and obey Him (Mat.28:19), I go and tell! See
our topic on Hell
is real.
Since we can make decisions and choices for ourselves,
the above Scripture really scares me. In this brief Passage,
do you see how many times it states: "God gave them
up" in verse24 and 26. "God gave
them over to a reprobate mind "in verse 28. God will
make many attempts to touch a person's heart with His Holy
Spirit, but after so long, He will simply give up on them.
In other words, He will honor that person's wishes.
God will allow them to do whatever shameful
things their evil hearts desire. And as a result, they will
do vile, immoral and degrading things with each other's bodies.
Instead of believing the Truth about God, they deliberately
choose to believe lies. Some worship the things God made but
not the Creator Himself, Who is to be praised forever. This
is why God abandons them to their shameful desires. Even women
turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulge
in sex with each other. And men, instead of having normal
sexual relationships with women, burn with lust for each other.
Men do shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered
within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. Do
you think AIDS just popped up out of nowhere? It is a plague
from God! When people refuse to acknowledge
and obey God, He will abandon them to their evil minds and
let them do things that should never be done. Their lives
become full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate,
murder, envy, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, lies
and gossip. They are back-stabbers, haters of God, insolent,
proud and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of
sinning; and disobedience to parents is common and rampant.
People break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.
They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who
do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway.
And worse yet, they encourage others to do them too.
How anyone can
say homosexuality is OK, is beyond me. I KNOW what the Bible
states, and according to God, it is an abomination to Him!
People CHOOSE to reject God, and God allows
them to do it. God does not usually stop us from making choices
against His will. He will NOT force us to do anything! IF
we decide to go against Him, we will become slaves to our
own rebellious choices. Does
life without God look like freedom to You? You
had better look again! There is no worse slavery, than slavery
to sin.
People are inclined to believe lies that back
up their own selfish, personal beliefs. We need to be very
careful about what we allow ourselves to believe. TV, music,
movies, and all the rest of the media often present sinful
life-styles and unwholesome values. It's OK they seem to say.
Everybody's doing it. We find
ourselves bombarded by attitudes and beliefs that are TOTALLY
opposed to the Bible. Be careful about what
or who, you allow to form your opinions. The Bible should
be your only standard of truth. Measure all other opinions
in light of its teachings.
God's plan is for people to have NATURAL sexual relationships, not someone lusting after another of
the same sex, or sex outside the sanctity of marriage. Sex
is a 'gift' that God gives us to use in marriage only. But,
unfortunately, SIN distorts the natural use of God's gifts.
Sexual sin is not only denying God, but also denying the way
He made you. When people say that any sex act is acceptable
as long as nobody gets hurt,they are fooling no one but themselves! ALL sin hurts people. Somewhere
down the line, someone will get hurt!
Homosexuality (to exchange or abandon NATURAL relations of sex) was as widespread in Paul's
time as it is in ours. Many pagan practices encouraged it,
then and now! God is willing to receive anyone who comes to
Him in faith and
Christians should love and accept others no matter what their
background. But remember, homosexuality
is strictly forbidden in the Bible.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt
not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
[KJV] You should NOT practice
homosexuality . . . it is a detestable sin!
Homosexuality is considered an ACCEPTABLE practice by millions in the world today, even by some pastors
(??) and churches (??). But society does NOT set the standard for God's law. Many homosexuals
believe that their desires are normal and that they have a
right to express them. But God does NOT say this, nor does He encourage us to fulfill all our desires
(even normal ones). Any desires
that violate His law must be controlled.
If you have abnormal desires, you
can resist them. Avoid places or activities
you know will kindle temptations of this kind. NEVER underestimate the power of Satan to tempt you, and you must
realize the potential for serious harm if you yield to these
temptations. God can and will forgive any sexual sins, the
same way that He forgives all other sins. You must surrender
yourself to the grace
and mercy of God. Ask
Him to show you the way out of sin and into the light of His
freedom and His love. Prayer, Bible study,
and strong support in a TRUE Christian church can help you to gain strength or resist these
powerful temptations. If you are already deeply involved in
homosexual behavior, seek help from a trustworthy born
again pastor.
Most people instinctively know when they do
wrong, but so many simply do not care. Some people will even
risk an early death for the freedom to indulge in their lusts
now. "I know it's wrong, but I really want it,"
they say; or "I know it's dangerous, but it's worth the
risk." For such people, a great part of the "fun'
is going against God's law. But, deep down inside, they know
that sin (ALL SIN) deserves the punishment of eternal death
in Hell.
2 Thes. 1:8-9 In
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [KJV]
The corruption of mankind can be measured by
his perversion of sex. It is so sad to say, but many so-called
'churches' today embrace and defend people's 'rights' to sex,
instead of condemning it as God does in the Bible. Gross
immorality is rampant (in God's eyes), yet our 'society' accepts
it as good and right. God said it was wrong in
1900 B.C. (Genesis 19). and He said it was wrong in the apostle Paul's time (Romans 1:24;32), and He says it
is wrong NOW! God
does NOT change, EVER! (Psalm 33:11; 102:27;
Mal.3:6; Heb.1:2; James 1:17).
Romans 1:26-27 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: [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.
[KJV] All unnatural passions
are a dishonor, a disgrace and are evil and corrupt to God,
no matter what public opinion is!
Three times in the Romans Passage, it states
that "God gave them up" (Rom.1:24,26,28).
God will give everyone a chance to repent of their sin, and
most often He gives MANY chances! But there will come a time
that God will just let them wallow in their sin and wickedness.
In this evil and corrupt time, the Truth of
our Lord's Words is clearly shown.
John 3:19 And
this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil. [KJV] The Truth and Light
of Jesus is NOT what people want. They want to do their own
'thing'. People today are getting farther and farther away
from our loving God, and closer and closer to God's
Holy wrath! People do not want to keep God in
their knowledge, for deep down they know what they are doing
is wrong, and God states that He will punish ALL sin! There
shall come a time when everyone will lament over his/her wicked
corruptions, and over his/her secret hate of the will of God.
This will happen
in one of two ways:
- (1) Turning
from sin and to Jesus (being born
again).
- (2) In the
everlasting destruction of Hell.
One day, you will be sorry for your actions,
IF you do not repent; I promise you! I pray it will be #1
for you. We must submit to Christ by faith, and be renewed
by His Divine power. We must do the Truth and come to the
Light! John 3:21 But
he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may
be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. [KJV] Those who see they are wrong, and do what is right come
gladly to the Light.
Time on Earth
is SO brief! This time is given to us by God, to decide where
we will spend eternity. If you continue in
wickedness, you are on the broad road to an eternal Hell! Matthew 7:12-14 Therefore
all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there
be that find it. [KJV]
Repent, turn around, go away from sin and evil,
and do what God would have you do; and you will spend eternity
in Heaven with Jesus and all His goodness. John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are
many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I
go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
[KJV]
- If God were to send an
angel to deliver a "state of the world" message,
what do you think he would say?
- How do you think people
today determine between right and wrong? Is it selfishness
and greed? Or do you think they have god's will in mind?
- Why do so many people
say they are "Christians" and believe in God,
yet go their own way and do their own thing? James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble. [KJV] Even
demons believe there is a God!
- What does God do when
people ignore and disobey Him? Romans 1:18 For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
[KJV]
- In what way does God reveal
Himself to people? (Rom.1:20).
- Are ALL people accountable
to God?
- What is the main problem
people have in their relationship with God? (Rom.1:21-22).
- What happen to the hearts
and minds of people who reject God? (Rom.2:5; Heb3:13).
- Do you honestly think
it is OK to "go with the flow"?
- Does God really hold
us personally responsible for our sin?
Genesis 13:13 But the men
of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
[KJV]
Genesis 19:23-24 The sun
was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. [24]
Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone
and fire from the Lord out of heaven; [KJV] Lot
and his family were allowed to leave. Everyone else died!
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt
not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
[KJV] Homosexuality is a SIN,
and is an ABOMINATION to God.
Luke 17:29 But
the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [KJV] Everyone but Lot and
his daughters died.
1 Tim. 1:10 For whoremongers,
for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers,
for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other
thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; [KJV] God's
laws are against people who are sexually immoral in ANY way!
Leviticus 20:13 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. [KJV] Homosexuality
is a SIN, and an ABOMINATION to God.
1 Cor. 6:9 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,
[KJV] NONE of the above will
go to Heaven!
1 Kings 14:24 And there
were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to
all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out
before the children of Israel. [KJV] Sodomy
(homosexuality) is an ABOMINATION to God!
Judges 19:22 Now as they
were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city,
certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat
at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old
man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house,
that we may know him. [KJV] NOT
the sons of God . . .but sons of the devil!
2 Peter 2:4-6 For if God
spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell,
and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved
unto judgment; [5] And spared not the old world, but saved
Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing
in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; [6] And turning
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that
after should live ungodly; [KJV] Why
would God spare you, if you refuse to turn from your sin?
SODOMY
God made sex to
be enjoyed by a man and a woman who are married. Sodomy is ANY sexual intercourse regarded as abnormal; such
as between persons of the same sex or between a person and
an animal. A sodomite is ANY person who practices sodomy.
It is an absolute ABOMINATION to God. People
insist that that times have changed, BUT, God NEVER changes! What He considered an abomination and a sin in the days of
old, He still considers a sin today! (Mal.3:6; Heb.6:17; James
1:17). ANY person who insists on living such a life is doomed
to Hell unless they repent (turn away from their sin). See: Hell is real.
Genesis 19:5-8 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. [6] And Lot went out at the door unto them,
and shut the door after him, [7] And said, I pray you, brethren,
do not so wickedly. [8] 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. [KJV]
Exodus 22:19 Whosoever
lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. [KJV]
Leviticus 18:22-23 Thou
shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
[23] Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself
therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to
lie down thereto: it is confusion. [KJV]
Leviticus 20:13 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. [KJV]
Leviticus 20:15-16 And
if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death:
and ye shall slay the beast. [16] And if a woman approach
unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the
woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their
blood shall be upon them. [KJV]
Deut. 23:17 There shall
be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of
the sons of Israel. [KJV]
Deut. 27:21 Cursed be he
that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall
say, Amen. [KJV]
1 Kings 14:24 And there
were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to
all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out
before the children of Israel. [KJV]
1 Kings 15:12 And he took
away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols
that his fathers had made. [KJV]
1 Kings 22:46 And the remnant
of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father
Asa, he took out of the land. [KJV]
2 Kings 23:7 And he brake
down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of
the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
[KJV]
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God
also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[KJV]
Romans 1:26-27 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: [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.[KJV]
1 Tim. 1:9-10 Knowing this,
that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the
lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners,
for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers
of mothers, for manslayers, [10] For whoremongers, for them
that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for
liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing
that is contrary to sound doctrine; [KJV]
1 Cor. 6:9 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,
[KJV] Worth repeating!
A SODOMITE
is anyone who imitates the wicked, immoral ways of Sodom
They shall be
judged accordingly.
1 Cor. 6:9-11 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. [11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed,
but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. [KJV] Those who do wrong will have no share
in the Kingdom of God. Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge
in sexual sin, are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes,
homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, or
swindlers, none of these will have a share in the Kingdom
of God. But
remember, ANY sin can and will be forgiven by God IF a person
TRULY repents!
Judgment to Come on
ALL
Who Practice Sodomy

their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare
their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul!

Genesis 13:13 But the
men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly. [KJV]
Luke 17:29 But
the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [KJV]
ALL
the Wicked Condemned to Hell
Psalm 7:11 God judgeth
the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. [KJV]

the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the Lord knoweth
the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall
perish. [KJV]

shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be
cut off. [KJV]

shall fall at once. [KJV]
1 Peter 4:17-18 For the
time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them
that obey not the gospel of God? [18] And if the righteous
scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner
appear? [KJV]
Matthew 7:23 And
then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity. [KJV]
Matthew 13:50 And
shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing
and gnashing of teeth. [KJV]
Matthew 25:46 And
these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous
into life eternal. [KJV]
Matthew 25:41 Then
shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels. [KJV]
John 5:28-29 Marvel
not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that
are in the graves shall hear his voice, [29] And shall come
forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of
life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection
of damnation. [KJV]
2 Thes. 1:8-9 In
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [KJV] God shall bring the flaming
judgment of Hell upon ALL those who do not know the Lord and
refuse to obey His Gospel. The shall be punished with everlasting
destruction, forever separated from the Lord and His goodness
and love, and from His glorious power.
