Homosexuality And Sexual Immorality
Because we love
every human soul, Christians are obligated to
speak the truth concerning all matters. The
Bible strongly condemns the practice of
homosexuality. Leviticus 18:22 reads,
"You shall not lie with mankind as with
womankind: it is an
abomination." Paul wrote in Romans
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."
Condemning the practice of homosexuality is
certainly not an indication that one hates the
homosexual. It is because Christians love
all people that we are fully convicted that we
must never withhold Biblical truth - no matter
what society might dictate. Our plea is for
all people to be obedient to God's word,
including the practicing homosexual.
"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." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Any and all Sexual immorality is strongly
condemned in the word of God. We must all
live according to the sexual restrictions
contained within the pages of God's Book.
All are under obligation to live as the Bible
teaches. Any activity not biblically
permitted, such as sex outside of the marriage
bond, is a sin and unacceptable to God.
