What does the Bible say about homosexuality?

Image
The  Bible  doesn't speak of homosexuality very often; but when it does, it condemns it as  sin .  Let's take a look. Leviticus 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." 1 Leviticus 20:13 , "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 , "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God ? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." Romans 1:26-28 , "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned

Do practicing homosexuals who are "saved" go to heaven after they die?

Image
This is a difficult question because there seems to be an inherent contradiction within it. Those who are truly saved are also regenerated; they are new creations and the old things have passed away ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ).  Also,  1 John 2:4  says, “The one who says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” So if someone really is born again, there will be a change within him and he will resist sin. Homosexuality is a sin ( Rom. 1:26-32 ). So, we must ask how someone who's truly saved can also purposely be in rebellion against God ? This would not make sense. If someone was a practising homosexual and did not consider it to be sin, and would not receive correction from the word of God, then it is most probable that the person is not truly saved. Salvation results in a change in the person, and though we may still war with the same old sins, the fact is that we are at war with them. Our fight against such s

Mike Huckabee forced off Country Music board for opposing gay ‘marriage’

Image
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee ’s Christian views on marriage have cost him his new post on the board of the Country Music Association Foundation.  HOMOSEXUAL INTOLERANT BULLIES - HATE CHRISTIANITY The pro-life conservative former presidential candidate was forced to step down from the post which he held less than 24 hours after LGBT advocates in the industry became outraged over his appointment. “The message here is ‘Hate Wins.’ Bullies succeeded in making it untenable to have ‘someone like me’ involved,” wrote Huckabee in a March 1  letter of resignation  to board members. Governor Huckabee’s resignation came amid a flurry of criticism from CMA members and others, reportedly alarmed at the appointment of a ‘homophobe’ to the prestigious board position.  "If the industry doesn't want people of faith or who hold conservative and traditional political views to buy tickets and music, they should be forthcoming and say it," said Huckabee in his let

What is God doing about this homosexual uprising?

Image
The Bible is very very clear about the sin of homosexuality. In fact, in Romans 1 the Apostle Paul points out that homosexuality are given over to their shameful sinful lusts. They exchange truth for a lie. God abandons them to experience the full force of their sin. God also gives them a depraved mind and they become filled with all forms of wickedness.  HOW DOES GOD DO THIS JUDGEMENT? By the activity of Satan , the lawless one uses “wicked deception,” and this deception works on those who “refused to love the truth .” As a consequence, “ God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false.”  But God is not simply deluding people without cause. Here, he confirms the unbelief of those who refuse the truth. To those who refuse, he deludes. He does not first delude, causing people to refuse the truth. They did this first. You could say it this way: God is not the source of their delusion, but rather their hearts are. So, God appears to con

What was the sin of Sodom?

Image
What do later prophets understand the sin of Sodom to be? The Revisionist Answer The reference to Sodom in Ezekiel proves that the sin of Sodom is inhospitality (16:49) and pride (16:50). The text refers to Sodom often, yet it never cites homosexuality as the sin of Sodom. The rest of the prophets follow the example of Ezekiel. The Biblical Answer Sodom was guilty of arrogance, abundance, apathy, and neglect of the poor and needy, according to Ezekiel 16:49. Yet Ezekiel 16:50 goes far beyond pride or haughtiness to cite “abominations” or “detestable things” as the sins of Sodom. The language used is applied to homosexuality in the Pentateuch . Leviticus 18:23 and 20:13 call homosexuality “abomination.” The same Hebrew and Greek terms used in Leviticus for homosexuality occur in Ezekiel for Sodom.  Other references to Sodom in the Prophets consistently identify the sin of Sodom with such descriptive words as pride, gluttony, and arrogance. While they never say that

Homosexual twist scripture

What is the meaning of arsenokoitai, which Paul uses in 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 and 1 Timothy 1:10–12? Pastors who agree with Homosexuals Arsenokoitai cannot refer to “homosexuals” because there is no preceding occurrence of this word with such a meaning. In the lists of vices, the word means “homosexual acts,” “pederasts,” or “active male prostitutes” or refers to ritual impurity. These were the prevalent forms of homosexual activity that found some disapproval in contemporary codes or among the Jews. Paul’s word cannot refer to those of a homosexual orientation or to those who live in a mutually respectful and committed homosexual relationship; these are modern phenomena, unknown to Paul. Biblical Pastors Answer The English term homosexuals is an appropriate correspondent to arsenokoitai, given both ancient sexual practice and today’s usage. We have ample evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans knew about homosexual orientation and that some Greeks practiced a mutually respectful,

Blasphemous ‘gaytivity’ set uses two Josephs

Image
An LGBT activist and comedian is promoting a nativity scene with two St. Josephs and no Virgin Mary. Some have dubbed this a “gaytivity scene.” “Our neighbors’ two Joseph nativity is up & I’m beaming,” Cameron Esposito   tweeted  along with a photo of the blasphemous display. One woman  responded by tweeting a photo  of her own “lesbian” nativity scene that uses two statues of Mary. The baby Jesus in that one is shown with a rainbow blanket. Rhode Island’s Bishop Thomas Tobin called the nativity set with two Josephs “sacrilege.” He posted on Facebook : Just came across this photo of a “gay nativity” scene — two Josephs dressed in pink watching over the Christ Child . How sad that someone believes it’s okay (or funny or cool) to impose their own agenda on the holy Birth of Jesus. Pray for those who did so, for their change of heart, and that Jesus will forgive this sacrilege, this attack on the Christian Faith . “Jesus had two dads and he turned out fine!”

Australia: Attorney-general George Brandis - the man who defied God

Image
History condemns Attorney-general George Brandis  who has told young gay Australians the great lie the great false narratice  "there is nothing wrong with you" in a speech supporting immoral homosexual marriage  in the Australian  Senate . On Tuesday morning, Brandis brought to an end speeches from over 50 senators as part of the debate on a immoral homosexual marriage bill that parliamentarians expect to pass. Brandis said the passage of the bill will "demolish the last significant bastion of legal discrimination against people on the grounds of their sexuality". "At last, Australia will no longer be insulting gay people by saying: different rules apply to you," he said. "After centuries of prejudice, discrimination, rejection and ridicule, [this bill] is both an expiation for past wrongs and a final act of acceptance and embrace." Brandis has misunderstood history and why homosexuality has always been an issue in history.  God clea

ABC reporter blame Pastors for Homosexual mental health

Image
Once again, ABC Australia is blaming the church, but more precisely pastors for homosexual poor mental health. As usual the ABC spends time interviewing one Church leader who is bisexual from the Uniting church then another 'progressive' Baptist Pastor who disregards historical biblical interpretation on the sin of homosexuality and personally reinterprets homosexuality as a blessing of God .  The problem with the article written by Sarah Malik is that it shows little understanding of the scriptures, ignores the presence of a Godly conscience, misunderstands the power of sin even the existence of sin, the blindness of sin, the rebellion against God word and lastly the abandonment by God for homosexual behavior as outlined in Romans 1.  All of these actions, are identical to any person who sins intentionally or unintentionally against the will of God. The searing of the conscience comes first, the the withdrawal of God's restraint until God abandons them. This
