Homosexuality?

This topic is close to my heart because my brother "Andre" died of this lifestyle.

When God created the first two people, He made them male and female.

Genesis 1:27: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” God created one male and one female; they were called Adam and Eve.

We must also note that God made one of each, male and female; not two of each, so they could pare off and have offspring.

When sin entered the world because of disobedience, and people began to multiply, Satan began to work his plan to corrupt man’s ability to procreate and turned it into recreational perversion. Eventually, people built cities, and two of these cities were Sodom and Gomorrah.

The primary sin of these two cities was homosexuality.

Genesis 18:20-21, “And the LORD said, ‘Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.’”

We must note that in verse 20, God mentions that their sin is very grievous, not sins as plural. There was one specific type of sin under consideration, and that is homosexuality.

Genesis 19:1-11: God sent two angels to Sodom to judge it. Verse 4 tells us that the men of Sodom, “both old and young”, came to Lot’s house, where the two men were. In verse 5, the men of Sodom “called unto Lot, and said unto him, ‘Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them.’” In this case “know them” means to know them sexually, which is why Lot said in verse 7, “…I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.”

These were radical gays being driven by they determination to fulfill their lusts.

How determined were they?

Verse 10 tells us that the two angelic men pulled Lot to safety inside his house and smote all the gays with blindness according to verse 11, which says, “And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.”

Not that these men were so radically consumed with lust that even though they were blinded they still wanted these two men and rejected the woman that was given them.

What does God think of homosexuality?

He made a clear statement by recording in Genesis 19:24: “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.”

The place where these city’s were, near the Dead-sea, is desolate till this day and nothing is grows there.

Jesus warned us that the same thing would happen in the last days Luke 17:28-30, “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot… Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”

Corinthians 6:9-10: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

The whole world is in deep trouble. Homosexuality and lesbianism is being condoned! It is a horrible sin, and repentance is long overdue.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. Romans 1:26:

You thought that you were outwitting God. You thought that here He is trying to reach you, while you just say, “I’ll show Him. I’ll just enjoy living in sin, I was born that way!”

What Paul is saying here is that God has already begun to punish you. It is a judgment of God that you remain in sin. When you think that you’re getting away with it, that’s the worst thing of all that can happen. The worst sign of God’s judgment is that you’re able to sin and get away with it.

Nor does God give us a bold sign, telling us, “Here’s what I am going to do.” He just gives those over to thier sins. He doesn’t push us; He doesn’t hammer us. In effect, Paul is saying this: Is it sin that you want? Sin you will get. That’s the first way God punishes sin.

The second way is by exposure at the final judgment. Say you decide to live in sin; you’re thinking, at first, that something’s going to happen as a kind of warning from God, like thunder and lightening, but when it doesn’t come, you think, I don’t feel a thing; I’m able to go on and do this. When a person does what is not right, he may say, “I don’t feel any different; I feel fine.” But how does God punish by exposure at the final judgment. God “will give to each person according to what he has done” (Romans. 2:6).

A third way is that God’s Son, Jesus, took our punishment on the cross. Eternally speaking, there are two ways whereby God punishes sin: (H.I.V.) the fires of hell and the blood of Jesus. He who knew no sin was made sin.

Let this be what lingers in your mind. It’s not a question of whether your sin will be punished; it is the question of how.

May God grant you to see why the Bible talks about “fleeing from the wrath to come.” (Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7.)

We must pray against this perversion and help those who want to get out of it. We already know what God thinks and that His judgments will follow shortly!

How about you?
