Chapter 12.22

Homosexuality

Alternate life styles - What’s wrong with same sex marriages

 

 

First Word

     I had a childhood friend a couple of years older named Paul who I played with, did my homework with, double dated with, spent the night with and cried with when he went into military service.  I loved him so very much, but it never occurred to me to have a physical relationship with him.

     The Bible shows that there is a love between two men that is approved by God.[1]  It is a love of the spirit of the other and not a physical sexual love.

     Absalom, King David third son tried to kill him and take his kingdom and was his enemy.  But even with that the King loved him deeply[2] and did not want him killed, mourned over him and it almost divided his kingdom.

 

Beginning of Homosexuality or Sodom

     The Bible records the first time a man got drunk and the results.  Some students of the Word Belief System says that this was a homosexual act by Ham with his father Noah.[3]  Others BS say it was just the sin of enjoying looking at his father’s nakedness and wanting others to join in.  Others BS say that Ham had sex with his own mother.

     Now let’s check out Lot and his daughters; I will never understand for any reason the mentality of Lot who would give his virgin daughters over to the homosexual men of the night,[4] but this was the mentality long ago.  To tell you how sick in the spirit people were, they would give up their daughter or concubine EVEN UNTO DEATH to prevent homosexuality.[5] 

     The Bible paints a picture of little esteem given to women and I wish it had been written differently, but there it is: the good, the bad and the ugly.  It speaks of a dog; boy prostitutes[6] and how God gave them up to their lusts.[7]  Other scriptures refer to them as “the price of a dog”. God rejects gifts of money or a tithe that is given by a prostitute or homosexual.[8]

     What God says about Bestiality; having sex with animals: You shall not lie with any beast to defile yourself: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.  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[9]

 

The Take Away

     The Law was not given for the righteous, but for the ungodly.[10] God gives a stern warning about eternal life.  While the world simply calls homosexuality just another alternate life style, God calls it an abomination and you will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire regardless of how many times you say “Praise The Lord” and state that you believe in God and you are a Christian.[11]  He will say, “I never knew you”.

     However, THERE IS A WAY OF ESCAPE;[12] a way to spend eternity with Jesus Christ,[13] Whosoever will believe and confess with their mouth and turn from their wicked ways, God will hear and save them, but making no decision is a decision to reject Christ. 

The Holy Spirit can only show you the door, you must choose to walk through it.
