The Bible Speaks Out On Lesbians & Gays


--By J. Andrew Gibbons--

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." --Leviticus 18:22; "Women turned against God's natural plan for them and indulged in sex sin with each other. And the men, instead of having a normal sex relationship with women, burned with lust for each other, men doing shameful things with other men and, as a result, getting paid within their own souls with the penalty..." --Romans 1:26,17.


IN A DAY AND AGEwhere "alternate lifestyles" are trying to be pushed as a viable option, let us realize that contrary to the politically correct thinking of today, homosexuality is wrong according to God's Word. It is a learned behavior, not something you are born with. Many have heard this lie so long that they believe it.
     To help the gay agenda the Hollywood left is trying to reinforce homosexuality in its shows, movies and advertizing by glorifying these sinful practices.
     God created man and woman in the beginning, but when you leave God out things decay very fast. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or Ada and Eve. Let us not try to rewrite history and also disregard the natural laws of biology which are evidence that homosexuality can not reproduce; they can only seduce.
     Don't overlook the obvious. There is HOPE. I have worked with homosexuals who realized the bondage of their lifestyle and they wanted deliverance. Yes, there is deliverance in God through Jesus Christ. He can help us all become what we should be.
     I Corinthians 6:9-11, "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
     Notice it is not just homosexuality that God is concerned about, but all unrighteousness. Verse 11 says that such were some of you, past tense. Let us not be deceived. God is deliverer and transformer. There is hope, but if one chooses to live in sin, that is their choice.
     Just don't try to use the Bible to justify your lifestyle in the Scriptures. God's Word is clear, the question come in as to whether we are going to stand or falter on what the Lord has spoken. Remember: "God's terms are hope and forgiveness through repentance and obedience. We have a choice and also a way out.
