Homosexuality

Homosexuality

How do you think God feels about homosexuality?

He feels that same way about it as he does stealing, lying, cheating, fornication, adultery, forsaking the assembly, false doctrine, idols, etc….

Why do “we” judge homosexuality as the only alternative lifestyle that displeases God?

When we choose to not go to church because we are too tired is an alternative lifestyle.

When we have sex outside of marriage….when we choose to steal to make quick money instead of working hard…..these are all alternative lifestyles.

But the topic right now is homosexuality and that is what we are going to discuss.

My preacher preached on this not too long ago, but I saw a book in the bookstore yesterday and it caught my eye because it said “Hip Hop”….I was thinking it had something to do with the entertainment industry, in which it did, but it was also about a gay black man who worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry and he slept around with undercover gay black male celebrities. Reading through some of the pages he was giving hints of who these celebrities were but not actually giving their identities.

In the beginning, there was one passage that said he prayed to God when he was younger to take these feeling for men away from him because he wanted to live for God. He also described his feelings when he was in high school for his best friend who had no idea that he was attracted to him and they often slept in the same bed at night.

Where do these feelings come from?

These “abomination against God” desires?

And what does God’s Word tell us about how He feels and what He will do to those who disregard His feelings and choose a person of the same sex as their sexual preference?

The Old Testament and The New Testament are very clear on this topic.

The Bible lets us know that satan hates God and he will try the hearts of men to DO EXACTLY what God HATES!

Therefore we should understand that these feelings come from satan and he is simply trying to destroy us…..and because we are unspiritual, the job gets done quite easily.

Porn, evil minded people, obscene images, and lustful midsets all set off this evil desire.

God destroyed people in the Old Testament for such lifestyles and behavior. – Genesis 19:13

Being gay is nothing new to this world, just because America has widely begun to accept it as “ok”, does not mean anything.

Gay men wanted to sleep with God’s angels. – Genesis 19:4-11

God did forbid the chosen people of Israel to sleep with those of the same sex, and punishment for doing so included DEATH. – Leviticus 20:13

God calls this Detestable. Low. Unnatural. Unholy. Evil.

Is this the lifestyle that we want to live, knowing that one day it will go away and whatever evil pleasure it brings us now will also bring eternal torment on the last day?

God even spoke on men wearing women’s clothing. – Deuteronomy 22:5

Did you know that you have a choice and God is not going to “make” you do anything?

What you Really want is what you will be.

Did you know that once you start to “feel” that what you are doing is right and alright, that God has let you go! He has given you over to what burns so deep in your spirit?

He has given you to satan, because that is where you really want to be. You enjoy the sinful pleasures he offers you!!!!

Romans 1:26-32 (READ IT)

God says that no such wicked soul will ever enter the Kingdom of Heaven where all is pure. 1 Corinthians 6:9

Sin separates us from God, not just the sins that “we” think are bad, ALL SINS!

Romans 6:23

The way we are cleansed from our sins is by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

Through baptism we are made new and have the ability to repent and be one with Christ.

Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:27, 1 Peter 3:21, Romans 6:4

Repentance brings us back to God and gives us a “change of mind”….a mind for Christ and not of satan’s world.

How do we overcome the temptations of homosexuality?

The same way we over come all sins.

Through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

If you really love the Lord then you will HATE what he HATES.

And he HATES homosexuality.

You will do what God has commanded and you will know what He has commanded by studying the Bible and going to worship services and Bible classes to learn about God’s Word.

Does it matter “where” you go to learn about God’s Word?

OF COURSE IT DOES!

Satan has churches too and the only church that he has no authority over is the “Church of Christ” and that is because it does not belong to him it belongs to Christ.

Matthew 16:18

The devil has control over many minds, people are choosing to do what he wants them to and they are forgetting about God.

Don’t let satan have control over you, he won’t take the blame for your problems or your eternity in hell.

He’s laughing at you.

Its up to you….

Follow Jesus & Hate satan.

Or

Obey satan & spend eternity in hell.
