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.
