Homosexuality is not just a normal sin, like lying, or sins like that, that everyone is tempted to do; it is a sin against nature because the bible even says in Genesis chapter one that God created people male and female and told them to be fruitful and multiple.
Genesis 1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 29: And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply. So you see then how homosexuality is a sin against nature; it goes against God's whole plan for humanity when he made people male or female and told them to be fruitful and multiple. Male and female is the only way to multiple.
Some people will say, well it's a sin, but we're all sinners. No, this is much worse than normal sin. Not all sin is equal. You cannot say that stealing a pencil is as bad of a sin as murder, etc., but being a homosexual is so bad that the bible says that God gave up on them (reprobate - rejected). Homosexuality is worse than murder. In the bible there are many people who were saved that murdered, but there is not even one instance of a homosexual ever getting saved. Also the bible says in Genesis 13:13: But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. Sodom and Gomorrah was a city that God destroyed with fire and brimstone because it was filled with homosexuals. So we may all be sinners, but we are not all sinners exceedingly. This is also why homosexuals are called sodomites in the bible. They should not be called "gay" because gay means happy, not being a pervert.
In Romans chapter one the bible tells us how these people became reprobates.
Romans 1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.
Do you see how it says God gave them over because they were so against him. Here are other verses about God giving them up.
Romans 1:24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:26: 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:
Romans 1:27: 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 recompence of their error which was meet.
God recompensates these kind of people with diseases such as AIDS.
The bible also says that these kind of people became this way because their heart has been darkened. Romans 1:21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Again, the bible says that these kind of people are sinners of the very worst kind as here described.
Romans 1:29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents.
These reprobates are so bad that they are filled with ALL unrighteousness, every thing on this list. Notice how it says "proud". That is where their gay pride parades come in. They are boastful about their wickedness and sin. A normal person would have some of these sins listed here, but not filled to the brim with all of these.
These people are filthy, vile, and haters of God. Normal unsaved people are not necessarily haters of God; they are just unsaved, and there is still time for them to accept Jesus before they die because they have not been given over to a reprobate mind yet. The thief on the cross got saved right before he died and I know someone who got saved right before they died from cancer, so obviously, there is still hope for most people, just not for reprobates.
The clear teaching of the bible is that these people can never be saved because they have crossed the line and the bible says that God gave up on them; he gave them over; it's too late for them; they can never be forgiven. That is the reason why we should stay as far away from these people as possible while going about our life here in the world. Obviously, there are some occupations where you will need to interact with them, such as being a doctor or a nurse, but that is only to do our job, not to be friends with them. You cannot win them to the Lord because they will never be saved. In truth, if God already has given up on them, and he has, then there is nothing we can do to get them saved. Did Jesus die for them?; absolutely. They had every chance that anyone has to get saved before God gave them over to a reprobate mind, but now it is too late. The reason they are reprobates is because they hardened their heart against God and did not like to retain God in their knowledge. Just like when a person dies without being saved it is too late for them, also it is too late for some people even before they die.
The world tries to tell you it is an alternative lifestyle, but it is not an alternative lifestyle, it is a wicked sin that God says should be punished with the death penalty.
Leviticus 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.
The God of the old testament is the same God of the new testament. What was wicked then is still wicked today. God says it is an abomination. An abomination means something that God hates greatly and abhors.
Romans 12:9: Let love be without dissimulation, Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. We should definitely hate and abhor what God hates and abhors.
Psalm 139:21: Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22: I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
So what should we do then about the sodomites in the world. We should not try to hurt them in any way, we should just ignore them and not be friends with them. The bible says our closest friends should be Christians living for the Lord anyway because they are our very brothers and sisters in Christ. We are in the same family as children of God. The only reason to be a friend to an unsaved person is when you are trying to win them to the Lord and witness to them, hoping they will get saved, but people who are reprobates cannot ever get saved, so there is no need to be friends with them. Besides that, because they are so vile and filthy and disgusting, we will not even want to be near them because they are repulsive to us. Sometimes you will hear people say, "Well I know people that are gay that are nice people", but that is not what God thinks of them. God says they are filthy and brute beasts.
II Peter 2:7: And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
Jude 1:8: Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
II Peter 2:12: But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Just because a person seems nice doesn't mean that they are not wicked. Look at all the mass murderers that people thought were such nice people, like Ted Bundy for instance. No, God sees homosexuals as very wicked and filthy the bible says. Another thing people say is "Well some people have been saved out of that lifestyle", but that is not true biblical salvation, which is being saved from going to hell. All these testimonies I have read about a homosexual supposedly getting saved say "I repented of my sins and sinful lifestyle", which is not even how to get saved because getting saved is by believing on Christ and putting your faith in him, not by repenting of your sins.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. I have never read even one testimony where the person said they believed on Jesus alone for salvation and put their faith in him alone. The reason why is because they cannot "believe" because in Romans it says God gave them over to vile affections and a reprobate mind. Homosexuals will also lie about getting saved because they want to infiltrate churches where they like to prey on children and molest them. The bottom line is homosexuals cannot be saved because of what Romans chapter one states, and so all of these so called "testimonies" are just bogus and fake. It is true whosoever believeth on the name of Jesus will be saved, but they CANNOT believe. Besides that, Jesus didn't come to save people from a wicked lifestyle, he came to save people from going to hell. Of course, Jesus' blood cleanses us from sin, but that is Jesus doing the cleansing, not us repenting of our sin. The only way to be cleansed is by believing on Christ, and the sodomites cannot believe because they have a reprobate mind.
Another argument people like to use about homosexuals being able to get saved is in:the following: :I 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,
10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11: And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sancified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Then they say, see the effeminate got saved, but effeminate is not the same thing as being a homosexual. Being effeminate means acting or dressing girlish or like a sissy. Of course it is a sin to be effeminate, that is why it is listed here. I know men who dress like a sissy, but they are not homosexuals. The same goes for women, with some dressing like a man and having a man's haircut, but they are not a homosexual. Of course, the corrupted NIV version says this:
I Corinthians 6:9: Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men, etc. So they change the word effeminate to men having sex with men to change the whole meaning of that verse to make it sound like homosexuals can get saved. That is why it is so important to stick with the KJV. It also wants to make it sound as if it is just another ordinary sin, like drunkenness, fornication, adulterers, etc., but homosexuality is not just another ordinary sin; it is much much worse; it is a sin against nature. Any normal person would be tempted with the ordinary sins listed, but to a normal person, the act of homosexuality is repulsive to them, sick, and gross, not something they would even be tempted to do.
The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was so great and was such a great abomination that God actually destroyed the city by raining fire and brimstone on it.
Genesis 18:20: And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous:
21: I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Genesis 19:24: Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven:
Also, another verse in the new testament that talks about Sodom and Gomorrah is in Jude.
Jude 7: Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Going after strange flesh is what they did in Sodom and Gomorrah by being homosexuals and God uses them as our example of them receiving eternal fire. That is why in the bible the word for homos is "sodomites", as in the following verses.
I Kings 14:24: And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
I Kings: 15:12: And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
I Kings 22:46: And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
I Kings 23:7: And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
You see how God said to take the sodomites out of the land; he didn't say to evangelize them or try to get them saved because once you are a sodomite it is too late, and God tells us to separate from them.
II Corinthians 6:17: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Of course, most all of the modern corrupt versions of the bible, such as the NIV and others, take out the word sodomites and changes it to male prostitutes, which is not the same thing at all. They also don't want you to think about Sodom, which God destroyed with fire and brimstone because it was full of homosexuals, so they don't want to use the word sodomites. The corrupt bibles over and over again change key important words to change the whole meaning of the verse. That is why it is so important to read the KJV, which is God's preserved word and totally accurate.
Another argument people like to use is about loving your enemies.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. This verse is actually talking about loving your own personal enemies like people who hate you and treat you badly. For instance, you may have an enemy at work or school where someone is out to get you, cursing you, etc., or persucuting you for being a Christian. I don't know any homosexual that is my enemy personally. So the point is we should love our own enemies, but we are not to love God's enemies; that is the difference. In fact, God is not pleased when we help his enemies.
II Chronicles 19:2: And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehosphaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
That means if we help them that hate God, then God will punish us for it. (The wrath of God upon us.)
I John 5:19: And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
The bible also says that in the last days it would be like the days of Lot. Lot was the only righteous saved person living in Sodom at the time and God pulled him out of the city and then destroyed it. That is the same way it will be when Jesus comes again and takes us out of this wicked world and we go to heaven with him. He will take us out and then he will destroy this wicked world.
Luke 17:29: But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30: Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
II Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11: Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons out ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.
12: Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
So, therefore, it is clear that God wants us to live a godly and holy life in this wicked world that we live in and to keep ourselves separate from all the filth and pollution that is in the world.
Also, remember that just because the government of our country makes wicked and immoral laws such as same sex marriage and abortion, which is the murder of babies, God's law is always greater than the sinful world's law. God's law is to be first place above all else. Acts 5:29: Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. That is why I said that the world is getting more and more wicked all the time. Fifty years ago homosexuality was illegal in our country and most of the world, but God's law never changes with the times. Just because the world is getting more wicked, doesn't mean we have to agree with the changing of the times. The bible says the world would be like this in the last days, but just remember we are going to be delivered from this wicked world when either we die and go to be with Jesus in heaven or Jesus comes in the clouds to get us and takes us to heaven. In the meantime, we need to keep busy living for Jesus, which he calls occupying till he comes. Luke 19:13: And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy til I come.
The bible evens says that the last days will be perilous (dangerous) times to live in.
II Timothy 3:1: 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.
Even though the last days will be wicked days and a perilous time to live in, we can still have peace with Jesus, and he actually tells us to not be troubled.
John 14:1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Someone may read this and say, "Yeah, I know the bible says that, but I still think homosexuals can be saved." Then what they are saying is that their opinion is more valid than God's word, but the bible is what is true, not someone's opinion. Romans 3:4: God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar:....
