I was taken aback by a recent open discussion on television on the subject of homosexual behaviour. Two men were being interviewed by the host (he is famous, mind you) to narrate their experiences on being homosexual. The host was prompting them again and again to reveal their innermost feelings on the topic. To my surprise both men did not hesitate not one bit to tell it all; shame on everyone for airing this one on live television.
To come to think of it now, I was not really all that surprised. More than half the people in the western world and especially in the United States have come to accept that homosexual behaviour is acceptable to them and to society in general. The media is doing its part to help them. So much that there are social groups fighting for homosexual groups in court! Many States in the United States have brought in laws that allow same sex marriages between two men and two women as totally legal. My dear brothers and sisters, where is our society heading to? I know of even devout Christians searching online on this subject. Some of them are even being fed by their pastors and priests that it was okay to be homosexual.
What does the Word of God in the Bible have to say about Homosexuality? I shall now give two specific scriptures that will settle the issue for everyone. Here they are…
“If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.” (Leviticus 20:13)
“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 homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
What does God mean by abomination in the first scripture from Leviticus? Here God is saying categorically that He does not tolerate the behaviour of a man having sex with another man. If they did, both of them have committed abomination. It was an unpardonable sin. The second scripture is from the New Testament where St. Paul is reminding some of the Corinthians in the gathering that they were homosexuals. God is reminding His people that He did not tolerate same sex behaviour in the olden times (Leviticus) as He did during Paul’s time in the New Testament. And since God is the same even today according to the Bible, He does not allow this kind of behaviour even today.
If you know of somebody who is suffering from this sin and in doubt, please show them these two scriptures. Tell them it is nothing but demonic behaviour. Such people are being attacked by demons to be homosexual. Pray over them. Verbally pronounce the blood of Jesus over them. It will take time for them to be free of these demons of homosexuality. Our God is no respecter of persons and He would pardon anyone and everyone who came to Him with a contrite heart. They will be set free from this bondage. Soon the Holy Spirit will start to move over them to heal them of their terrible condition.
Failure to do so will lead these unfortunate souls from the gates of Heaven to the burning pits of Hell. Our God has given His strictest warning. His Word is above any other Word that ever was said.
