Leviticus 18:22 “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it
is abomination.”
Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a
woman, both of them have committed a an abomination: they shall surely be put
to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
And just in case you think this is just Old Testament stuff:
1st Corinthians 6:9 “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.”
The standard of our Lord is
perfection. Not only in avoiding those things forbidden by the Commandments,
but also in always doing what is correct. Anyone who feels themself to be a
moral person has obviously decided to overlook their own life experiences. We
need a Savior who is perfect to be the repatriation for our failures and have
found him in Christ Jesus. Any failure in any point of Law finds us guilty of
all. I am a sinner.
Anyone who recognizes their obvious
inclination to imperfection (sinful nature), is the person who can struggle
against the desires of the flesh, and we do. Failing day by day, going to Abba
for cleansing and taking up the struggle again tomorrow.
It can be stated unequivocally that
homosexuality is a sin. So is idolatry, pride, disrespect of parents, murder,
theft, perjury, adultery, fornication, anger without cause, gluttony, greed, envy,
failure to love, failure to serve, etc.
Those involved in the homosexuality
recognize their sin. Please bear with me a moment. I am an American and can do
as I please within the bounds of the law, or external to it if I believe the
law to be unjust. So if I want to be homosexual, I have the ability to do so.
Then what was the big push to legalize homosexual marriage? It is obviously the
desire of the homosexual community to have society tell them their behavior is
moral. Sorry, it ain’t.
Every person has immoral desires.
There is no better proof of the concept of original sin than our own flesh.
These desires take the form of any or all of the sins or lack of perfection
noted above. Are people born with homosexual tendencies or does it result from
life experiences? I consider it a moot point. If
you struggle against homosexual sin, you are no better or worse than any other
sinner struggling against the weak point that the Evil One has found in your
life. Each and every time we fail, we must go to Abba and admit our sin and ask
for his cleansing and help in overcoming our flesh.
So, the Supreme Court has ruled
that homosexual marriage is legal and leaves Christians in a quandary as to
what to do. First, this should come as no surprise and gives us hope that
Christ’s return is closer than it was yesterday.
2 Timothy 3: 1-4 “1
This
know, also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For
men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, high-minded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ,”
Second, if you’re in a church that claims Christ yet accepts
sin in conflict with Scripture – flee – today. The Bible, God’s inspired word
as delivered by the Holy Spirit cannot be changed by man. To reject scripture
inspired by the Holy Spirit is to sin against Him. Don’t fall into the trap of
trusting your own sense of righteousness. Third, work to change the system.
To SCOTUS I say. How dare you assume to make law in
violation of the Constitution you have sworn to uphold. Your ruling on
homosexual marriage is void and of no effect. You did not create marriage and
have no right to declare it legal in contrast to God’s word. You are like the
rulers God’s prophets have spoken against, and distort justice for the sake of
the filthy lucre that stains your robes.
Wonderful Counselor,
Forgive our Country
For their acts against your Word.
Have mercy on the little ones
That belong to You.
Those that trust in Christ
And honor your Word.
Abba, we pray for SCOTUS,
That you will bless and protect
those that honor You,
And that you will change the hearts of
those
That deceive themselves.
Lord, we also pray for those
With besetting sin,
That they might be freed
By the love of Christ and the
truth of your Word.
We also pray for the little ones
Who are abused by mankind,
That they might be protected
And not led into sin.
