Yesterday a lot of people on FB changed their profile picture to a equal symbol in red. They did this in support of Homosexuals having equal rights in Marriage. While I applaud the idea of making a stance and fighting for what you believe in, I was appalled at the the number of people who say they are Christians who also support this stance.
I believe that the Bible plainly states that homosexual relations are wrong.
Corinthians 6:9-10 – “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 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Romans 1:26-27 – “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 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.”
I believe there is essentially no difference between committing the sin of homosexuality or adultery.
Or lying. Or murder. Or stealing. I believe that we cannot and should not judge sin, but know that sin is sin and it is all evil.
I believe that Jesus says we should love one another no matter what and above all sin.
I do not believe that when Jesus says to love one another above all sins that he is also saying then that it is okay to sin. There is a huge difference.
In John 8, Jesus meets a woman who was caught in adultery. The Pharisees tested Jesus saying the law of Moses says to stone her. Jesus responds by saying, "let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone". Jesus continues to say, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" No Lord, she said. And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more".
Jesus plainly says, "Go and sin no more". I forgive you of your sins. Go on with your life and stop your adultery.
I believe that we should and do love all people, including homosexuals. But homosexuality is a sin and should not continue. Adultery is a sin and should not continue. Murder is a sin and should not continue. Lying is a sin and should not continue. Stealing is a sin and should not continue.
That is why I do not support homosexuality in marriage. I will not support a sin.
This is why I do not support adultery in a marriage. I will not support a sin.
This is why I do not support murder for love. I will not support a sin.
This is why I do not support lying in a marriage. I will not support a sin.
This is why I do nots support stealing in a marriage. I will not support a sin.
I will not support that which is opposite to God.
There are many places in the Bible where God refers to man and woman uniting in Marriage as good.
Matt 19 : 4 - 6
Mark 10 - 6 - 9
There is no place in the Bible where God refers to homosexuality as good.
I think what hurts the most is for someone on Facebook to say that I am a hater because I disagree with homosexuality. How is that hate? I also disagree with a man have sex with a child. I am sure you do too. Which one is hate? The only difference between what you call hate and what I just compared, is a few years in age.
a few years.
could be one year if the child is 17.
I do not hate homosexuals. I love them the same way a mother loves her child who has done something wrong. She loves her baby in spite of the sin. But as a parent, she would not not say to her child, continue sining, its okay. She would say, I forgive you. Go and sin no more.
How can Christians see it is a sin written plainly in their Bible, but say they are okay with it? I do not understand this. You cannot pick parts of the Bible to support. Whatever you believe the only important thing is to believe in Jesus. All Born again Christians no matter what side you support will see Paradise. A homosexual who is saved, can also see Paradise.
If you disagree with me, that is fine, but do not say mean things. I will delete it and block you from my page forever Mr. you should love and support everyone's beliefs.
