The
Bible is very clear on the subject of Homosexuality. In Leviticus 18:22 it
reads
Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.
I'm
sure by now you've heard people using the excuse for their sexual desires as
"being born gay". Let's address that right now. Why would God create
a person with homosexual desires when his laws call for death because of it?
We'll if they're not born with this tendencies, then where do these feeling
come from? Let's look to the Scriptures. Romans 1:21-24 reads
“They knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even
give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like.
The result was that their minds became dark and confused...”
So God
let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their heart desired. As a
result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. You see
that sin causes these unnatural feelings within us. You must stay close to God
to overcome these feelings! 1 Corinthians 10:13 reads
“Remember that the temptations that come into your life are
no different from what other experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the
temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you
are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to
it.”
I urge
anyone struggling with Homosexuality to go to the Scriptures for guidance. God
is very clear where these feeling come from. Pray for forgiveness, for God can
and will forgive you. Hebrews 8:12 reads
I will forgive their wrongdoings and I will never again
remember their sins.
And if
you're wondering what will happen if you choose not to listen to God's word,
read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in
the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who
are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals... none
of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.
