The Truth About Homosexuality

I decided I really did not want to sidestep any controversial subjects. Homosexuality has become a topic of huge debate in the World. I wanted to debunk some of the uncertainly that may exist in the minds of Christians with regard to sexual orientation.. Is there any acceptable premise for the homosexual lifestyle? And why would I use a word like DEBUNK;

de·bunker n.: One can readily see that debunk is constructed from the prefix de-, meaning "to remove," and the word bunk., denoting the nonsense that is to be removed?

Here it is I am debunking any faulty reasoning concerning this subject through and with the use of Bible doctrine.

For those of us who are saved and obey the Word of GOD there should be NO DEBATE. The controversy is simple, Is the homosexual lifestyle sinful. ...Ahhhh here is the short answer..YES IT IS SINFUL.

I have been shocked by the acceptance of secular reasoning on the subject by some people within the church. And even more shocked at what most people deem to be the right stand for a Christian dealing with this taboo issue. Here is an example I had personally with a close associate of whom I thought I knew about their views since they grew up in the church. ;

I was recently in conversation with a young lady who confessed Jesus as her savior ,through our dialogue she said homosexuals often do not have a choice.. It's a gene of some type. And therefore saying their behavior is wrong would not be fair since they have no choice. We should not judge them for who they are because GOD made then that way.???

Seems to be a good argument right???, It's sort of scientific , perhaps ... I am not going to debate the conclusion drawn in this case partly because no one is here to represent the other point of view. However there is a perspective I can represent, and this opinion is NOT my own, It is from the Holy Bible. Take a look at these Bible verses, and decide for yourself

Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,

Rom 1:27 And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution

Is that clear enough for you? It says here GOD gave them over .. Well is does say that right, We are reading the same text. No interpretation needed it says what it says. Notice the Bible calls this behavior shameful and wrong doing. If you do not believe the Holy Bible is one hundred percent absolutely true then maybe you can justify and opposing viewpoint. In my mind and heart I pronounce to anyone reading this Bible Study that I indeed believe , trust and relay fully on the complete accuracy of the WORD of the living Bible.

Ok, with that established ...Why would God give them over to this behavior, especially since He declares it to be a most shameful act.!!! Before we move ahead, I have to say it is very interesting to me that the behavior has a two fold effect. It defiles the body and the personality. But, this is the reason GOD gave them over to the SIN of homosexuality. They had given up on GOD, rejected God, decided to turn their backs on GOD. How long do you think God will put up with rebellion. If I were you I would not put HIM to the test.


Rom 1:20
For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification],


Rom 1:21
Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.


Rom 1:22
Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].


Remember Lot? and Sodom and Gomorrah, yes this historical evidence as recorded in the Bible illustrates the magnitude of GODS indignation with the practice of homosexuality.

Wow, that must of been some gene pool, two entire cities were destroyed. Would you say that GOD was not being fair??? These people had no choice????

Gen 19:24Then the Lord rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of the heavens.Gen 19:25He overthrew, destroyed, and ended those cities, and all the valley and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.


My conclusion would be that our LORD can only take so much of sin, no matter the cause. Just as a quick review here are some relationship basics:

Lev 20:11'If there is a man who lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

15Lev 20:12'If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
16Lev 20:13'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

17Lev 20:15'If there is a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also
kill the animal.

18Lev 20:18'If there is a man who lies with a menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people.


19Lev 20:20'If there is a man who lies with his uncle's wife he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless.


Sexuality 101 from the Word of the Living God. Notice that for every act there are corresponding consequences.

Here is one more scripture to spell this out to you as clearly as possible.

1 Cor 6:9Or 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 effeminate, nor homosexuals,

I have often cringed at this common modern day Christian cliche'.. goes something like this hate the sin and love the sinner... No I do not think this is our position. I see no difference between the sin and the sinner. .. But what about the verse that says love those who do you wrong????

Love is a verb in this case, not a noun, it means show acts of kindness to those who do you wrong. Why are we showing acts of kindness , in order to leave open the path for our LORD to deal with the issue.

Rom 12:20"BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."

Whats up with the burning coals????? Its means Judgement. We are not to exact retribution , the Battle is the LORDs.


Matt 23:32
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' sins to the brim [so that nothing may be wanting to a full measure].

Matt 23:33
You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the penalty to be suffered in hell (Gehenna)?


Hold on a second Jesus.., whats up with the hate...I thought we were supposed to love everybody..... these Bible verses from the Holy Bible seem to be in conflict with what I have been taught by today's preachers. And all this time I was thinking GOD loves everybody.

Guess He does have some standards and those must be honored . If you are a homosexuality you are in sin. If you have not called your behavior sin, then you are in error and have set yourself up against the Laws of GOD, and the Laws of GOD they supersede the laws of man. \


Acts 2:38
Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
