David and Jonathan were friends; they were soul mates. Jonathan loved David as himself and David’s love for Jonathan was wonderful and passing the love of women. But does this mean, that David and Jonathan were gay and had homosexual feelings for each other? What does the Bible say about the relationship between David and Jonathan, were David and Jonathan lovers?
Omosessualità
Before we discuss this matter, let’s look at homosexuality. Omosessualità (and homosexual feelings) is caused by a spirit of sexual lust and perversity. When a spirit of lust and perversity is active in the spiritual realm it becomes visible in the natural realm in the lives of people. One of the carnal results of a spirit of lust and perversity is homosexuality. Ricordare, that everything that happens in the spiritual realm becomes visible in the natural realm. When homosexual feelings and lust control a person, you know that an unclean spirit of lust and perversity is active in the spiritual realm.
When a person gives in to these lusts and homosexual feelings, this spirit of sexual lust and perversity shall control the person’s life and shall reign in the spiritual realm. This spirit shall not only control the person but shall affect and try to enter other lives as well.
The more people give into homosexual feelings, the more power will be given to this unclean evil spirit, and the more people become affected and controlled by this spirit.
It’s no wonder that we see an increase in homosexuality worldwide. More and more people come out for their homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgender.
This spirit of lust and perversity controls many lives, including their minds. Per questo motivo, many relationships in the Bible are interpreted sexually and perversely, including the relationship between David and Jonathan. But only a perverse mind will change Godly relationships in the Bible into perverse sexual relationships.
A spirit of lust becomes visible in the natural realm
through speech and actions
As discussed in a previous blog post, Cosa dice la Bibbia sull'omosessualità", when a spirit of sexual lust and perversity controls the mind of a person it becomes visible in the natural realm through a person’s life; through his speech and works.
Look at the way many gay people communicate. Molte volte, their speech contains sexual remarks, sexual jokes, or words with a hidden sexual meaning. Look at the gay pride, riviste gay, musical gay, gay movies, television programs or movies that involve homosexuality, the music industry, the fashion industry, eccetera. It is all erotic and revolves around sex.
A spirit of sexual lust and perversity controls their lives and that’s why sex controls their mind and their lives. Everything revolves around sex. Ma ora, let’s have a look at David and Jonathan’s friendship and whether David and Jonathan were gay.
The soul of Jonathan was knit with David’s soul
E ciò avvenne, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul (1 Samuele 18:1)
Jonathan feared the Lord. During a battle with the Philistines, Jonathan trusted in the Lord and believed that God would deliver the Philistines into his hands. Therefore Jonathan left his father and his army, E he went with his armor-bearer to the camp of the Philistines. Jonathan and his armor-bearer went in faith and God indeed delivered the Philistines into his hands.
David also feared the Lord and walked in His will. When Jonathan saw David, Jonathan’s soul was knit with the soul of David. Jonathan loved David as his own soul. He had found a soul mate.
We read that Jonathan’s soul was knit with the soul of David and not his body. Jonathan’s love for David was a friendly brotherly and holy love.
The covenant between David and Jonathan
When Jonathan went with David into the field, Jonathan made a covenant with David and he involved God. Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, because Jonathan loved David as his own soul; as himself.
Jonathan gave David his robe and his garments (his armor (1 Samuele 18:3-4). This was a confirmation and a prophetic symbol that the kingship of Saul would not pass on to his son Jonathan, but to David. This has nothing to do with sex, but it has everything to do with brotherly unselfish love.
But if you are controlled by a perverse spirit of sexual lust, then you can indeed interpret this in a perverse unclean manner.
When Jonathan and David said goodbye, they cried and kissed each other (1 Samuele 20:41). Their kiss was a normal brotherly kiss and not an erotic kiss. It was very normal when two men kissed each other.
Look at Isaac, Laban and Esau, who kissed Jacob. Aaron, who kissed Moses. Look at Samuel, who kissed Saul. Absalom, who kissed everyone, who came to him (2 Samuele 15:5). David kissed Barzillai (2 Samuele 19:39). Jude kissed Jesus. The elders fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him (Atti 20:37).
Jonathan loved David as himself
Amerai il prossimo tuo come te stesso (Segno 12:31)
Jonathan loved David as a brother, as his own flesh and blood. He loved David as himself. Didn’t Jesus also give us the commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves?
Does this mean, that we should have sexual relationships with our neighbors? Al contrario!
You can meet someone of the same gender, with whom you have a spiritual connection. Someone whom you consider your soul mate. You love that person as your own brother or sister and you will share a lot of things. Sometimes even more than with your own spouse. But does that mean that you have a sexual relationship with that person? NO, you are just each other’s soul mate and love each other as a brother or sister. It has nothing to do with homosexual feelings or sex.
David’s love for Jonathan was wonderful,
passing the love of women
When David lamented, with his lamentation over Saul and Jonathan, who were both killed during a battle, he said:" I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women”.
COSÌ, this should be the proof, according to homosexuals, that David was gay and Jonathan was gay and that David had a homosexual relationship with Jonathan. But that’s a big lie! Because if that was true, then David would also have a homosexual relationship with Saul. Since it is also written: Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives,
David’s love for Jonathan was a godly unselfish brotherly love, that was above the love he had for women. There was nothing unclean about this brotherly love. Only a sexual perverse and reprobate mind can turn this into something perverse, sessuale, and unclean.
If David would have been gay, shouldn’t David had the same love for Jonathan as David had for women? Ma non è stato così. David’s brotherly love for Jonathan went above the (sessuale) love for women. It was another kind of love, that wasn’t based on carnal sexual lusts, (omosessuale) sentimenti, e desideri. It was an unselfish brotherly love of the soul
David e Jonathan erano gay??
Would Jonathan have a son if he was gay?
Jonathan had a son, who was paralyzed; Mephibosheth. Therefore we can conclude that Jonathan also had a wife, with whom he was intimate.
David had many women
David had many women, like i.e. Abigail, Ahinoam, Maacah, Haggith, Abital, Eglah (2 Samuele 3:2-5), Michal (2 Samuele 3:13-14), and Bathsheba (2 Samuele 5:13).
If David was gay, do you think that he would have made any effort to get his wife Michal, Saul’s daughter, back? Would David have married Michal, Jonathan’s sister, and be intimate with her, if David would have had a sexual relationship with Jonathan?
Would David have feelings of lust for Bathsheba,
if David was gay?
If David was indeed gay, would he have had sexual feelings of lust for Bathsheba? Since he was physically attracted to her because he laid with her? When someone is gay, then the person has no sexual feelings of lust for someone of the opposite gender, but only for his own gender.
Therefore if David was a homosexual, David wouldn’t lust after Bathsheba. He only would have looked from his roof, but wouldn’t have done anything. Will the next statement and lie be, that David was a bi-sexual?
If David was gay, wouldn’t God have punished David?
God punished David because David had despised the word of the Lord and did evil in His eyes. David had killed Uriah, by the sword of the Ammonites, and had taken Uriah’s wife and made her his own. This behavior was an abomination to God and that’s why God sent the prophet Nathan to David. Nathan confronted David with the terrible thing he had done.
When David pentito, his sin was forgiven and David was not put to death. Tuttavia, because of what David had done and because David had despised the Lord, David’s son would die and the sword would never depart from David’s house. The Lord would raise up evil against David in his own house and God would take David’s wives before his eyes and give them to his neighbor. And that’s exactly what happened.
If God punished David for this deed, wouldn’t God have punished David if David had a homosexual relationship with Jonathan? Wouldn’t God have sentenced David to death according to the law? Since God is very clear in His Word and does according to what He has commanded. È scritto:
Non mentirai con l'umanità, come con il genere femminile: è un abominio (Levitico 18:22)
Non vi contaminate con nessuna di queste cose: poiché in tutte queste cose si sono contaminate le nazioni che io ho scacciato davanti a te: E la terra è contaminata: perciò ne punisco l'iniquità, e la terra stessa vomita i suoi abitanti. Osserverete dunque i miei statuti e i miei decreti, e non commetterà alcuna di queste abominazioni; né nessuno della tua stessa nazione, né alcun estraneo che soggiorni in mezzo a voi: (Per tutte queste abominazioni hanno commesso gli uomini della terra, che c'erano prima di te, e la terra è contaminata;) Che la terra non sputi anche te, quando lo profanerai, come ha generato le nazioni che furono prima di te.
Per chiunque commetterà qualcuno di questi abomini, anche le anime che li commettono saranno sterminate dal loro popolo. Osserverete dunque la mia ordinanza, che non commettete alcuna di queste usanze abominevoli, che sono stati commessi prima di te, e che non vi contaminiate: Io sono il Signore tuo Dio (Levitico 18:24-30)
Se anche l'uomo giace con l'umanità, come giace con una donna, entrambi hanno commesso un abominio: saranno sicuramente messi a morte; il loro sangue ricadrà su di loro (Levitico 20:13)
Non ci sarà prostituta tra le figlie d'Israele, né un sodomita dei figli d'Israele (Deuteronomium 23:17)
Do God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit approve of homosexuality?
Homosexuality was and still is an abomination to God. If it is an abomination to God, it is also an abomination to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus is the Word, who became flesh. Jesus Christ came to do the will of God and gave His life for His will.
I can of Mine own self do nothing: come ho sentito, Io giudico: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent Me (John 5:30)
For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me (John 6:38)
Dico ciò che ho visto con il Padre Mio (John 8:38)
The acceptance of homosexuality in church originates from a reprobate mind
The fact, that we live in a New Covenant, doesn’t mean that La volontà di Dio has changed. God’s Word stands forever and will never change (Leggi anche: God’s Word is settled forever).
After the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit testified, through the apostles, that homosexuality and being gay is a sin. The acceptance of homosexuality derives from una mente reproba, as we read in the first chapter of the Book of Romans. Since they had rejected God and His Word and didn’t believe and accept His truth, God had given them up to vile affections. And this is still happening today.
Per questo motivo Dio li ha abbandonati ad affetti vili: infatti anche le loro donne mutarono l'uso naturale in quello contro natura: E così anche gli uomini, lasciando l'uso naturale della donna, bruciati nella loro lussuria l'uno verso l'altro; uomini con uomini che fanno ciò che è sconveniente, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. E anche a loro non piaceva mantenere Dio nella loro conoscenza, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, fare quelle cose che non sono convenienti (romani 1:26-28)
La Parola dice, that homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God
Non sapete che gli ingiusti non erediteranno il regno di Dio? Non lasciarti ingannare: né fornicatori, né idolatri, né adulteri, né effeminato, né abusatori di se stessi con il genere umano, Né ladri, né avido, né ubriaconi, né insultatori, né estortori, erediteranno il regno di Dio. 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 (1 Corinzi 6:9-11)
The Word of God remains the truth
People can change, twist and interpret the Word from their carnal mind, out of their own knowledge, risultati, opinioni, sentimenti, emozioni, and experience(S), which are often inspired by the evil spirits of darkness and approve homosexuality. Tuttavia, it doesn’t change a thing about the truth. Because the truth is, that for God, Gesù, e lo Spirito Santo, homosexuality is an abomination and will always remain an abomination. Nothing and nobody can change that.
Dio, Gesù Cristo; la parola, and the Holy Spirit will never approve of homosexuality because They can’t have communion with the works of darkness; peccato.
Jesus Christ has dealt with the sin problem, in modo che tutti, che crede in Lui, e diventa nato di nuovo E follows Him, shall be redeemed from the peccato natura (Adamic nature) and shall rule over his or her flesh and over sin.
If Jesus had to come to earth to destroy the works of the devil, then why should Jesus now approve the works of the devil?
Homosexuality is and remains a sin. UN born-again believer shall discern the spirits, and shall not be entangled with the spirits of darkness. Invece, a born-again believer shall rule and have dominion over the powers and spirits of darkness, including a spirit of lust and perversity.
Isn’t it weird, that all the scriptures in the Bible about homosexuality are being rejected and that Godly and holy relationships in the Bible are being perverted into sexual relationships? Perché?
Because they are blinded for the truth and they are not willing to accept the truth. Because the truth confronts them with their behavior; their sin and that’s not what they want. They don’t want to die to their flesh, but they want to keep walking after the flesh and feed their lusts and desires. That’s why they change and adjust the Word of God to their (omosessuale) sentimenti, concupiscenze, e desideri.
But the Word will always remain the truth and shall eventually judge every person according to his or her works (John 12:48, 1 Peter 4:5, Rivelazione 20:12, 15). The Word is very clear and there is not an excuse, for no one!
