A Christian's Proper Reaction To Homosexuals Christians should take note, Jesus was quite familiar with hypocritical worshipers, telling them to cast the first stone to begin the execution of the adulteress . . . IF . . . he or she was without sin. All the potential executioners sort of slunk away.(2) Each knew they were full of sin. Homosexuals are sinners just like the rest of us. They are not a special class of sinner.(3) They need a Savior and a new heart given to them by God, before they are ABLE to turn from their sin, just like the rest of us.(4) Pray for them. In this book, I am presenting the Biblical perspective so homosexuals might know the truth about God's viewpoint, and not be deceived into thinking that He is going to somehow overlook their sin. I doubt that many homosexuals realize they are sinning, just as many heterosexual fornicators don't realize they are sinning. There is very little training in these times that teach young people that sexual activity of any kind is sin, if the sexual partners are not married. Marriage is the only thing that removes sin from any sexual activity.(5) Homosexuals and lesbians cannot legitimize their wicked sexuality with marriage. God does not permit same gender marriages. Men must marry women, and women must marry men. A male having sex with his female wife is the most blessed union, because it is the only obedient union that produces more worshipers for God. The Scriptures concerning homosexuality are direct and quite hard to misinterpret. But, no worshiper of God's should use this or any other explanation of Scripture as an excuse to harass, injure, ridicule, mock, or murder homosexuals or lesbians. You would not go track down and execute a murderer to gain justice. You would not search for a child molester and lynch him. You would respect our system of government and let the courts prosecute criminals.
Those who would hunt down homosexuals to punish them for their perversion, should rethink their position in light of all these offences where God has commanded the punishment to be execution. According to this biblical list, everyone of us know family members or friends that deserve execution. If you are not going to defend God's honor by punishing those in your family or among your friends that are guilty of a capital crime, then don't be a hypocrite by zealously exacting punishment upon strangers who are guilty of capital crime. Besides, God is not impotent; He can execute homosexuals if He chooses. He does not need you to be His instrument of punishment. Capital punishment has been assigned to the government and the courts. If they will not do what they are commanded to do, it is up to God to deal with sexual sinner, and the judicial sinner. Your part is to demand government adopt laws that reflect God's Law, to vote disobedient officials out of office, and to demand the government punish homosexuals and any other capital offender as God commanded. Homosexuality is a sexual sin and as such, is under the heading of the seventh commandment. There are six commandments that precede sexual sin which are more important to God. That is why He listed them according to His priority. If you want to defend the honor of God, you might first stop your own sinning, stop sin in your family, your neighborhood, your church and your place of employment. When you accomplish all this, then you might begin with the sin that angers God the most -- worshiping other gods -- breaking the first commandment. Convince people to vote the living God as the only God that is recognized in this nation. After you accomplish this, then you might work your way down to homosexuality, one commandment at a time. Despite the social acceptance of homosexuals in the United States, sex outside of marriage with the opposite gender, sex with the same gender, or sex with three or more participants is still an act of disobedience to the commands of God. All sex outside of marriage; all sex with people of the same gender; all sex with animals is still sin! The only homosexual that God might accept, is the one who abandons that lifestyle, repents from his sins, confesses his sins and asks God to forgive him. If you are currently a practicing homosexual or a practicing lesbian, and you would like to have a relationship with Jesus Christ that will result in you going to Heaven, there is a cost. You must abandon homosexuality or lesbianism. It IS sin. God does not wink at sin! You must obey God's law, just like you must obey the rules of another while you are a guest in his home. We are guests on God's property. Now that you know the cost, if you still want to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, then read "An Offer From Jesus Christ". If Jesus selects you, then you will be saved. May My Master Have Mercy On You, a servant |
