Jer 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed
abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they
blush:..."
Homosexuality or Sodomy is unnatural sexual relations between
two men or two women. Rom 1:26-27, "For this cause God gave them up
unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural
use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and
receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was
meet."
Going back to the beginning we find that God is the one who
created the counterpart for Adam. Gen 2:18, "And the LORD God
said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him
an help meet for him." The help meet that God created was not
another man, but a woman. If God had created another man as a help
meet for Adam the human race would never have been perpetuated.
Notice, Eve was her name--not Steve.
Looking at His creation He said, "And God saw every thing that
he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day."(Gen.l:.31)
Read the account of the wickedness of Sodomy from Gen.19:1-
11. But before this account notice these passages, Gen 13:13,
"But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly." Gen 18:20, "And the LORD said, Because the cry of
Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is, very
grievous." After reading these passages one can see that
homosexuals really should be called "Sodomites.
This is such a grievous sin before God that in Old Testament
times He demanded the death penalty. Lev 20:13, "If a man also lie
with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed
an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them." Why? Because this sin is so unnatural, so
Impure, so forbidden, so shameful that God's wrath is against all
who would commit or promote this iniquity.
This sin can be forgiven and the practice of "Sodomy" can be
forsaken if one has the mind set to do no. Paul says such in
possible in 1 Cor.6:9-11, "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. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but
ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." Notice please, "nor
effeminates, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.. . " Paul says
"such were some of you." You were involved-in "Sodomy" but you
were forgiven because you repented and ceased the sin.
We need to love all sinners but we do not approve of, nor can
a Christian tolerate the sin of Sodomy. One Man and one woman
until death do us part is God's plan for sexual purity.
