Romans 1:26-27 Homosexual argument: "What is natural to me"

Image
The starting point must be the possible meanings of physis in Romans 1:26–27. Greek Usage Physis occurs in profuse quantity throughout secular Greek writings, especially philosophy. We can study only a representative selection. The LSJ lexicon, including its supplement, cites eight broad categories of use for physis:22 1. origin, including birth and growth;23 2. natural form or constitution of a person, animal, or thing, including nature or character;24 3. regular order of nature; 4. philosophical order, referring to nature as an originating, creative power25 or “Nature” personified or as an elemental substance (as fire, water, air, earth26) or in the idea of the creation, nature; 5. concrete term, as in the case of “creature” or “humanity”; 6. kind, sort, or species; 7. gender distinction;27 and 8. legal distinction, a term roughly synonymous with “law” (nomos). There is no suggestion here that physis means “what is natural to me” or “orie...

Did Jesus condemn Homosexuality?

Image
Adam and Eve (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Pro-homosexual writers make a great deal of the fact that Christ did not mention homosexuality in any of His recorded teachings. Jesus also didn't speak about smoking or cocaine. Nevertheless, our Lord was not silent on the subject of sex. He condemned adultery ( Matt. 5:27–28), and exalted the heterosexual relationship God created when He made Adam and Eve (Matt. 19:3–6; Mark 10:6–9). From the time of creation God’s standard has been male with female, which our Lord clearly endorsed. Ryrie, C. C. (1991). Biblical answers to tough questions (p. 118). Chicago, IL : Moody Press .

Redfern Now promotes immoral homosexuality

Anthony Mundine (Photo credit: Eva Rinaldi Celebrity and Live Music Photographer ) Anthony Mundine says homosexuality and Indigenous culture don't mix after watching Redfern Now The Indigenous production company behind ABC series Redfern Now has slammed Anthony Mundine's comments that Aboriginality and homosexuality do not mix. However, the truth is Mundine is correct.  Mundine posted on Facebook last night that promoting homosexuality in Aboriginal culture is not OK and Indigenous ancestors would have someone's head for it. The first episode of the show's second series centred around a gay Indigenous man who had to fight his deceased partner's mother for custody of his daughter following a fatal accident. But Mundine, who converted to Islam , said his father told him that God created Adam and Eve , not " Adam and Steve ". "Watching Redfern Now & they promoting homosexuality! (Like it's ok in our culture) that ain't in our cultur...

Kevin Rudd biblical understanding is wrong on homosexual marriage

Image
English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In an extraordinary moment on TV , Kevin Rudd gave a staunch, invalid, unbiblical and unscientific defence of same-sex marriage when challenged by a Pastor on Q & A. When confronted by a question from New Hope Church pastor Matt Prater , who quoted the Bible as stating it was clearly wrong in the eyes of God , he said: "People don't choose their sexuality, they are born that way. The idea this is somehow an abnormal condition is wrong." The biblical truth is that EVERYBODY is born as sinners. We are all born that way. To say that is good is to deny sin and the purpose of Christ and the Cross. When the fall into sin occurred every human fell from their righteousness and communion with God, and so became dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all parts and faculties of soul and body. ADam's guilt and sin has been imputed to all as reinforced in Romans and 1 Corinthians. Mr Ru...

Born Gay: No way?

Image
Homosexuals today commonly claim that they cannot help being homosexual. Homosexuality, they argue, is innate: perhaps genetically determined, in any case inescapable. It is what they are. God made them that way. Therefore, they conclude, church and society should accept their homosexuality as natural and normal. Similar questions arise in other areas. Some years ago, it was learned that an abnormally high proportion of men with a “double y” ( XYY ) chromosome engage in anti-social or criminal behavior. Later came the discovery that a certain gene is associated with a relatively high percentage of alcoholics. And still more recently, Simon LeVay , a gay activist and neuroscientist, argued that there are some significant differences between the brains of exclusive homosexuals and those of presumed heterosexuals. Does this research imply that homosexuality is an innate condition rather than a choice? Can it not be helped, and therefore accepted as normal? I believe there were some f...

God abandons unrepentant Homosexual!

Image
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness.… to vile passions.… to a debased mind  (Rom. 1:24–28). How does God reveal His wrath against sinful human beings in the here and now? The answer is simple, Paul says—He abandons them. He simply lets them do what they want to do. The irony, as Dr. James M. Boice points out, is that “this is precisely what man has been fighting for ever since Adam ’s first rebellion in the Garden of Eden.  Man has been wanting to get rid of God, to push Him out of his life.” God’s response is to give man what he wants. But things do not work out quite the way man plans. “Instead of happiness we find misery [apart from God],” Boice writes. “Instead of freedom we find the debilitating bondage of sin.… When we run away from God we think our way will be uphill, because we want it to be so. But the way is actually downhill. We are pulled down by the law of moral gravity—when God lets go.” Paul outlines three stages of the human descent into...

Can Churches sanction homosexual marriage?

Adam and Eve (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) "So  God  created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." — Genesis 1:27  ( NKJV ) "And the LORD God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.' Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to  Adam  to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shal...
