1 Corinthians. 6:9 NIV Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor HOMOSEXUAL offenders. I know that is a lot of verses to begin with and there are more on this subject. I also know that this is a very sensitive subject. I will not hold any punches in this article and will let you know exactly what the bible says about it. My title is "HOMOSEXUALITY, Life style or sin. I say to you that it is a sin. Many people believe that homosexuality is a lifestyle and people are born homosexuals, and cannot not help it. The bible says that it is not only a sin but an abomination unto GOD. And anyone practicing homosexuality shall not enter the Kingdom of GOD. In other words they are bound for hell. To think that what GOD called unnatural and an abomination and destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of it, be a lifestyle and one is born that way, is not only absurd, but a lie from the devil himself.You may think that I hate homosexuals, but that is far from the truth. GOD loves the Homosexuals and wants them to come to repentance. Therefore since GOD loves them so do I. I however, cannot tolerate their sin or condone the practice of it, as I don't condone murder, stealing, or any other sin. Now before you start crying hypocrite, I am not perfect. I commit sin and if I said I don't I would be a liar. Doesn't mean that I have to say that sin is ok just because I committed it. I have lied, and stole, and this is not a bragging statement but rather a statement to point out how imperfect and how so much I have to grow in JESUS. Fellow believers Homosexuals as all other types of unbelievers have no place in the leadership of the church. They should not be teachers, for That in itself is an abomination to GOD. We do want them to come to the church to hear GOD'S word and to turn away from their sins. I am not surprised however because I really believe that we are living in the end times. I also believe that things are going to get worse before the return of JESUS. So the question is, Is homosexuality a lifestyle? Are we born homosexual? Or is it an abominable sin before the LORD GOD almighty? I tell you it is an abominable sin before the LORD GOD HIMSELF, and anyone that condones it is facing the wrath of GOD. In closing, we are to love the sinner but not the sin. This includes the Homosexual. So let us pray that GOD will reach the hearts of these people, before it is to late and they are experiencing everlasting punishment. © Copyright 2001 by John and Cindy Thomas
Ro. 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
Ro. 1:25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is for ever praised. Amen.
Ro. 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Ro. 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Ro. 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worth while to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
