There is a lot of debate in the church about homosexuality. Can a Christian be gay (homosexual)? Does God approves of homosexuality and same sex couples and should homosexuality be accepted in the church or not? There are churches that oppose homosexuality and don’t allow homosexual people in the church. There are churches that oppose homosexuality on the basis of the Bible, but welcome gay people and transgender people in the church with the intention that they repent. And then there are churches that accept homosexuality and welcome gay people, bisexual people, and transgender people in the church and approve of their gay lifestyle. They allow homosexual people to become members of the church and be a partaker of communion. They bless same-sex couples, perform same-sex marriages and even ordain homosexual people in ministry. But what is the will of God and what does the Bible say about homosexuality? Can a Christian be gay?
The two kinds of Christians
In order to answer the questions whether a Christian can be a homosexual, if a church should allow homosexual people and same-sex couples, and if a homosexual person can be ordained in ministry, we must first look at what it means to be a Christian. Because not everyone, who calls himself or herself a Christian is a true born again Christian; a believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
There are two types of Christians, spiritual Christians and carnal Christians. Let’s start with the carnal Christians.
The carnal Christians
Carnal Christians are led by their flesh (soul and body). Their senses, emotions, feelings, carnal mind, will, lusts, and desires control their lives. Their spirit is not raised from the dead or their spirit is raised from the dead but is still subject to the flesh. The ‘self’ has not died in Christ yet, but is still alive and their flesh dictates their lives.
They can do ‘good’ (charity) works, and be nice, friendly, gentle, helpful, loving towards others, and go to church but that won’t save them. They can only be saved by faith and regeneration in Jesus Christ and His blood and stay saved by walking after the Spirit in the will of God.
The born-again Christians
Born-again Christians are led by the Spirit. They are baptized in Christ and buried their flesh in the baptism in water and by the baptism with the Holy Spirit, their spirit is raised from the dead. They are born of the Spirit of God and have become sons of God (this applies to both males and females). Since they died to the flesh and have become spiritual, they shall no longer walk after the flesh in sin and iniquity, as sons of the devil, but they shall walk after the Spirit as sons of God in righteousness and love.
This love isn’t the love as the world defines love. This love doesn’t mean compromising and allowing and accepting everything, including sin. But this love is the holy and righteous love of God.
This righteous love begins with a great love towards God, Есүс, мөн Ариун Сүнс.
It is a love that wants to please God and obey and serve Him and live according to His commandments, which represents His will and His nature and dwells in the hearts of the new creations (born-again Christians).
When you do His will and walk in the commandments of the Word, you walk in love (a.o. John 14:15).
When you die in Jesus Christ, you die to your ‘self’. This means that you lay down your will, dreams, thoughts, emotions, feelings, lusts, desires, opinions, etc.
You don’t live anymore, but Jesus Christ, үг, lives inside of you. You’ve become His vessel. Therefore you shall renew your mind with the Word of God and put off the old man and put on the new man, who is created in the image of Christ.
Ариун Сүнс
The Holy Spirit abides in the new creations and is the Comforter and Teacher and testifies of Jesus, үг. The moral part of the Law of Moses, which represents the nature and will of God is now written in the hearts of the new creation by the dwelling of the Holy Spirit (a.o. Ezekiel 11:19-21).
The Holy Spirit represents God’s righteousness and guides you into all truth. He shall not only teach and lead you, but He shall also correct and discipline you. Because if the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, He shall confront believers with the works of the old carnal man aka sin. The Holy Spirit can’t lead people into sin. Therefore if people live in sin, they don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding in them and are not led by Him, but are led by their sinful flesh.
Those who have become the new creation, don’t have to go back to the Law of Moses and follow all the precepts and rituals of the levitical priesthood, laws (sacrificial laws, food laws, purification laws, etc.), and feasts. Because the Law of Moses was meant for the old carnal man, who was born of the seed of Jacob (Israel).
However, the will of God has not changed. The will of God in the Old Testament is the same as the will of God in the New Testament. God’s Word is the same, yesterday, today, and forevermore. Therefore His Word is trustworthy and you can trust the Word.
In His Word, God makes His will known to us. His Holy Spirit reveals in us His will that is, so that we shall walk according to His commandments (Ez 11:19-20, 36:26-27).
The only thing that stands in the way to execute His will in your life, is your carnal mind and the love of the world and the sinful flesh.
You must make a choice for the Word or the world
When you walk after the Spirit, you shall walk in His will; doing His will. God’s will shall always differ from the will of the world. That isn’t weird, because the world is enmity against God. Therefore, if you want to serve Jesus, you must make a choice, whether you want to serve Jesus and obey the Word or you want to serve yourself and obey the will, lusts, and desires of your sinful flesh and the world (John 12:25).
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1 John 2:16)
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God (Romans 8:7-8)
Есүс хэлэв, He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto eternal life (John 12:25)
These words do not correspond with the words of modern carnal Christians, who live like the world and approve of sin. They say, But Jesus welcomed the publicans and sinners and ate with them. He was a Friend of sinners.
However, the people, who use this argument, unfortunately, don’t read any further, as to why Jesus ate with them.
The publicans and sinners wanted to repent of their lifestyle as a sinner.
They had met the Truth, the Light, and the Life: Jesus the Christ, and didn’t want to live the life of a sinner (Read also Was Jesus a Friend of Publicans?).
The Holy Spirit in Jesus had convicted the sinners of their sinful life and therefore they wanted to repent.
Jesus didn’t approve of sin. He never said, Keep walking in your sins, it’s ok. No! Jesus could never have said that because sin means rebellion and disobedience to God and obedience to the devil. Sin separates you from God and binds you to the devil(Read also: What is sin?).
Instead of fellowshipping with sinners and approving sin as so many false Christians say and do, Jesus called the sinners to repentance and said, sin no more! (a.o. Матай 9:13, Марк 1:14-15, Лук 5:29-32, John 5:14, and John 8:11).
Can the new creation walk in sin?
When you repented and became born again in Christ you became a new creation and were delivered from the power of darkness (through the death of the flesh) and transferred into the Kingdom of God (by the resurrection of the spirit from the dead).
You shall no longer walk as you did before in darkness, being alienated from God and ruled by your carnal mind and led by the will lusts, and desires of your flesh. Sin shall not have dominion over you, because you died in Christ to sin.
The Holy Spirit dwells in you and you are led by His will, which represents the will of God.
Can a person be born gay?
Can a person be born with homosexual feelings? Every human being is born on this earth in iniquity and is a sinner. Everyone is born in a (spiritual) fallen state and separated from God. There is no one excluded. Every person is carnal and has the evil and sinful nature and character of the devil, who rebels against God and His Word and opposes His will. He is the father of sinners (fallen man).
Therefore every person, who is born on this earth, needs to become born again to be saved and live in union with God..
As long as people are carnal and led by the (sinful) flesh, the powers of darkness control people’s lives. Their will, feelings, and emotions in the flesh are influenced and controlled by demonic powers. They reign in every sinner’s life.
This also applies to homosexual feelings that are caused by a spirit of lust and perversion.
When you look at the gay scene; gay pride, gay magazines, gay bars, gay musicals, the entertainment industry, fashion, etc., eroticism, sex, and perversion prevail. It’s full of sexual content and sexual remarks. Everything revolves around sex and eroticism.
Now, it doesn’t matter how and when this spirit entered. It is all about setting the person free. If… the person wants to be set free.
What does the Bible say about homosexuality and what is the will of God regarding same-sex relationships?
Now, what does the Bible say about homosexuality? And what is the will of God regarding same-sex relationships and couples? Does God approve of homosexuality, according to the Bible?
The sons of Ham lived in Sodom and Gomorrah
Homosexuality is not something of this age. In the first Book of the Bible, Genesis, we read about sexual uncleanness, including sexual intercourse with someone of the same gender.
The first time, we read in the Bible about homosexuality and males having sexual intercourse with males, is in Genesis chapter 19, in the city of Sodom. This was one of the reasons, why Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, were destroyed. I write ‘one of the reasons’, because this abomination they did before the Lord God was not the only reason why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, but this will be discussed later.
The inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around it were born of the seed of Ham, the son of Noah. Ham was cursed by Noah because Ham saw his father’s nakedness and told his brothers. His brothers immediately took a garment and went backward into their father’s tent and covered their father without looking at his nakedness. They knew that it was wrong to look at his nakedness, while they didn’t have the Law of Moses yet. (Genesis 9:21-25).
With that in mind, you see that evil and sexual uncleanness were already present in the seed and bloodline of Ham. Instead of not paying attention, Ham looked at his father’s nakedness, who laid in his tent. Therefore the seed of Ham was cursed.
This evil went on from generation to generation. Because the seed of Ham, who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah, were wicked and sinners before the Lord (Genesis 13:13).
The sons of Ham lived in pride, fullness of bread and were haughty and committed abominations
They were sinners; they lived in pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in them. They didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. The sons of Ham were haughty and committed abomination before the Lord (Ezekiel 16:48-50).
Those abominations were: sexual uncleanness and idolatry, just like the heathen nations lived in sexual uncleanness and idolatry. Because when you read the Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy and look at what the abominations were for the Lord, the abominations referred to:
- Sexual uncleanness (not lay with mankind as with womankind (homosexuality), not lay down with any beast, not lay down with neighbors wife, not lay down with mankind and womankind (threesome/bi-sexual), etc.),
- Provoking Him to jealousy with strange gods,
- Make their sons and daughters pass through the fire,
- Use divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer, etc.
The cry of the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah was big. Their sin was very grievous. The Lord heard the cry and came to look at the cry, to see if they were that wicked.
Men had sexual relationships with men in Sodom
In Genesis 19, we read that the two males, the two angels of the Lord went with Lot to his house. Before they went to sleep, not a few men but all the men of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house of Lot. They all stood before Lot’s house and called: “Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them” (Genesis 19:5)
Lot went out at the door unto them and shut the door after him, and said: “I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof”.
But the men of Sodom wouldn’t listen to Lot. They commanded them to stand back and said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them.
They pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut the door. They smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
The next morning, the men, Lot, his wife, and his daughters left Sodom. And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire out of heaven. God overthrew those cities and all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities and what grew on the ground (Genesis 19:5-25)
We can conclude from the Bible, that these wicked people of Sodom were perverse and walked in sexual uncleanness, including homosexuality. Men had sexual relationships with men.
There are preachers, who say that it was normal for certain populations to inaugurate ‘strangers’ in the city using sexual intercourse. But if that was the case, then why did Lot offer his daughters to them?
Another argument preachers make is that the men of Sodom just wanted to get to know the two men by communication. But again, if that would be the case, then why did Lot offer his daughters to them? Because they knew his daughters already. They only didn’t know his daughters in a sexual way. Therefore, we can conclude that these men wanted to have sexual intercourse with the two men of God.
The men of Sodom and Gomorrah were selfish, perverse, greedy men, who lived after the (sexual) lusts and desires of their flesh. They had no restrictions on sexual intercourse, including sexual intercourse with other men.
The city of Gibeah was a second Sodom
In the Bible, we read that Sodom wasn’t the only city where homosexuality was present and men wanted to have sexual intercourse with men. Many years later the same thing happened in the land of Benjamin, in the city of Gibeah. that had disastrous consequences for the people of Benjamin.
The men of Gibeah wanted to have sexual intercourse with a certain Levite, who lodged in Gibeah, in the house of an old man.
This Levite traveled with his servant and his concubine. In the evening, the men of Gibeah, the sons of Belial, beset the house roundabout and beat at the door. They commanded the old man to bring the Levite, so that they may know him (having sexual intercourse with him). However, the old man offered his daughter and the Levite’s concubine instead.
But the men wouldn’t listen to him and wanted the Levite. Then the Levite took his concubine and brought her to them. And what did the men of Gibeah do, did they talk with her to get to know her? No, the men of Gibeah abused her sexually all night long. In the morning they let her go and she fell at the door of the old man’s house and died (Judges 19:11-29).
The people of Benjamin were wicked, because they left God and His Law and committed these abominations. As a result of their wickedness, almost the whole population of Benjamin was killed by the other tribes of Israel.
The reason why the other tribes of Israel killed the people of Benjamin was because God had commanded His people to remove all wickedness from their midst.
God knew what the consequences would be if they would accept the wickedness, instead of removing the wickedness.
He knew that all of His people would eventually be affected by evil and that more tribes of Israel would deviate from Him. That’s why they had to remove the evil (wickedness) of Benjamin from their midst.
What does the Bible say about the Sodomites?
In 1 Kings 14:22-24, we read that Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord and provoked Him to jealousy through their sins. We read about the sodomites in the land of Judah, who did according to ALL the abominations of the nations (including homosexuality; men having sexual intercourse with men).
In 1 Kings 15:11-12, we read that King Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He took away the sodomites out of the land and removed all the idols, which his fathers had made.
Homosexuality in the Temple of the Lord
In 2 Kings 23:7, we read about King Josiah and how he read the commandments of the Lord in the house of the Lord, before all the people. Together with the people, he made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord and keep His commandments, His statutes, His testimonies, with all their heart and soul.
Josiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He broke down among other the houses of the sodomites, who were in the House of the Lord (Youngs Literal Bible Translation).
You see, back then, there were already sodomites in the House of the Lord. Homosexuality took already place in the House of the Lord.
Is homosexuality something of this age according to the Bible?
So the argument, Homosexuality is something of this age, and we should accept it” is a big lie of the devil! It is not something of this age, it has always been there.
Homosexuality was accepted until someone arose, in this case King Josiah, who served the Lord with his heart and soul and walked in the will of God, whereby he removed all these abominations, including sexual uncleannes, homosexuality, from his people and the House of the Lord.
In the Bible, we read that as soon as His people turned away from God and left His words, they began to live like the world; the heathens in wickedness, idolatry, and sexual uncleannes and doing the abominations of the heathens.
As soon as people turned away from God and left His words, the wickedness, sin and iniquity increased in the land. And that’s what we see happeining in the world today.
The selfie era
We live in an era, where ‘the self’ of people is seated on the throne of instead of Jesus. There are few people, who really hate sin and iniquity and die to the flesh (die to ‘self’). Because of that, many Christians stay carnal and keep walking after the flesh according to the will, lusts, and desires of the sinful flesh.
Many think they please God, but the truth is that they live after the will of the devil and give power to him.
They love the world and the works of the flesh and want to live like the world. Therefore they change the words in the Bible and adjust them to the world and the will, lusts, and desires of their flesh, so that the words of God fit in their lives.
They believe in the twisted word that is preached, whereby they can live the way they want to live without being accused by the Word about their sinful walk.
And so many live in the lies of the devil, who loves twisting the Word of God. Yes, he is a master in twisting the word of God! Take for example the wilderness, where the devil tempted Jesus with the twisted word.
What does the Bible say in the Law of Moses about homosexuality?
God redeemed His people from the bondage of Pharaoh and brought them out of Egypt and led them into the wilderness. He had separated His people from the world, and now He went together with His people to the promised land. During their journey, God made His heart and will known to His people through the giving of His Law to Moses. Because the carnal man was not able to comprehend the spiritual realm, because the spirit was still dead (due to Adam’s sin (Read also: The battle in the garden).
Remember that God is the same, yesterday, today, and forevermore. His will and His nature shall never change.
Before the Law of Moses, God made already clear (a.o. through the flood in the days of Noah, and through the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah) that God did not approve of wickedness, evil, selfishness, and the lusts and desires of the flesh (including sexual uncleanness). God didn’t allow and tolerate them.
Many gentile nations performed sexual rituals and lived in sexual uncleanness. But the Lord of Lords didn’t want His people to become defiled by these abominations. He wanted a holy and pure people, who restrained themselves from these abominations. He wanted a holy people, who loved Him and kept His commandments and walked according to His commandments instead of the commandments of the heathen and their gods.
What does the Bible say about homosexuality in the Old Testament?
In Leviticus 18, we read about the sexual moral laws. God spoke to Moses and commanded him to tell His people, that He would be their God, and that they would live after His commandments and His will, and not after the Egyptians, nor the inhabitants of Canaan (heathens, the world).
They came out of Egypt, and now His people had to be transformed (renewed) in their mind, before they would enter the promised land. They had to be prepared, so that they wouldn’t walk like the heathens, but that they would walk in the will of the Lord, as His holy people.
Bible verses about homosexuality
They went to Canaan, where the seed of Ham lived, and where Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, but the people in Canaan were still wicked and lived in sin. Because otherwise, the Lord would not give His people the sexual moral laws.
The Lord commanded His people several times, to keep His commandments, and to stay obedient to Him, so that they would live. We read in Leviticus 18:6-23 about the sinful practices of the heathens, whereof He didn’t want His people to adopt those practices.
In verse 22 we read about sexual intercourse between two people of the same sex:
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination
There it is written: the heathens, who lived in the land of Canaan also had same-sex intercourse. But the Lord didn’t want His people, who was a holy people, to be defiled with these unclean practices.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein:I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 18:24-30)
And in Leviticus chapter 20:
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 (Leviticus 20:13)
In Deuternomy 23:17 it is written that:
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel
God wants a holy people
Every person, who is born again, belongs to God’s people. They belong to Him, because He has become their Father through Jesus Christ. They are born of His Spirit. He doesn’t want His son or daughter to live like the world. He has sanctified us, and made us holy and righteous, by the blood of Jesus. We are born of His Spirit, His seed lives inside of us, therefore He wants us to grow up, and walk and live as His son, just like His Son Jesus.
He wants us to live as sons of His Kingdom, and not live as the world; sons of the Kingdom of darkness (the devil’s sons). He wants us to live after His will, so that we will please Him.
Therefore He wants us to remove everything out of our lives, that rebels against Him and goes against His will.
Sin is disobedience to God. Therefore being a homosexual is also a sin.
God is evident in His Word, God couldn’t be any clearer. When God says in the Bible that homosexuality is an abomination to Him, it means that homosexuality is an abomination to God.
God shall never accept homosexuality and God shall never make homosexuality all right, no matter what people say.
Jesus would never approve of homosexuality. Since Jesus and the Father are One. Jesus spoke the words of His Father and did His works. The will of the Father ruled in the life of Jesus.
Jesus died for humanity and took all the sins and iniquities of the world, upon Himself. So that, everyone, who believes in Him and repents, would be free from the bondage of sin and the power of darkness and would not have to bear the punishment of sin and death anymore.
You have received all power in Him to resist sin and say ‘No’, instead of giving in to the cry of your flesh. If you live after the Spirit and do not give in to temptation, you shall walk in holiness and righteousness. and please God.
What does the Bible say about homosexuality in the New Testament?
In the New Testament we also read about homosexuality (Romans, Corinthians, and Timothy). In the first chapter of the Book of Romans, we read about men having sexual relationships with men, and women having sexual relationships with women. So in that era, homosexuality was also among the people according to the Bible.
Paul gave the following reason, why they did these things. He said that:
Because 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. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 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.
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 (Romans 1:21-28)
The unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God
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 6:9-11)
Born again Christians don’t walk in sin
Born-again Christians died to the flesh and shall no longer do the works of the flesh. They have been made holy and righteous in Christ by His blood. They’ve received God’s nature by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Therefore they shall walk in holiness and righteousness.
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for mans layers For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine (1 Titus 1:9-10)
This is what the Bible say about homosexuality. If you really want to follow Jesus and are prepared to lay down your own life, you accept the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ; үг, as the truth. Even when the truth of the Word of God contradict the opinions, findings, and sayings of the world and opposes your carnal feelings, lusts and desires.
Библи, the Word of God, should be the highest authority in the lives of a born-again Christians instead of people’s opinions, findings, experiences, and sayings.
Homosexuality is a work of the flesh that needs to be put off.
A new creation walks after the Spirit in righteousness
Every person is born as a sinner in sin and iniquity. As long as you stay unregenerate, you’ll stay a sinner and walk after the flesh and do the works of the flesh and live in sin and iniquity.
Only when you become born again and become a new creation in Jesus Christ (born of water and Spirit), you shall walk after the Spirit in righteousness and please God.
The new man shall put off the old man (lay down the works of the flesh) and put on the new man in the power of the Holy Spirit (Read also: The eighth day, the day of the new creation).
The end of the last days
In the last days of the end times, the people shall live as in the days of Noah, and as Sodom and Gomorrah. We live in that age, where people are so busy with their everyday life and so many abominations take place. The world revolves around money, power, and sex.
Look around you and you will see the increase of sexual uncleanness in this world, and it shall only get worse.
There are no more rules, everything is allowed and the churches go along with the world.
Many churches allow and approve of homosexuality, instead of teaching, and instructing them in the sound doctrine of the Word of God.
The churches don’t confront them with their sinful practices (work of the flesh), so that they can repent and turn from their wicked ways and become born again in Christ and be saved.
They don’t teach them the way of salvation and regeneration and help them to set them free and disciple them.
No, instead they allow homosexuality. And by walkin in a false love and allowing sin in the church, including homosexuality, they send them directly to hell (Read also: Deceived by my feelings)
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (1 John 3:7-10)
Наманчлалын дуудлага
Let us repent of sin and remove all uncleanness from our midst. Let us live according to the will of God and keep His commandments. So that we please Him, and show Him that we really love Him. Let us submit to God and walk in His righteous love by laying down our lives and obeying His words and doing His will in our lives.
If you wrestle against homosexual feelings, then there is a way out! His Name is Jesus Christ and He can set you free!
When you repent, become born again, and renew your mind with the Word of God, your life shall be transformed. You shall not be controlled by your sinful flesh (feelings, emotions, lusts, desires, etc.) but you shall be controlled by the Spirit.
Homosexuality is based upon feelings, which are deceitful and controlled by the spirits of darkness. Jesus Christ is the only One, Who can set you free from these unnatural feelings of lust. Only in the Name of Jesus, this spirit of lust and perversion will leave your life.
The stage is being set for the anti-Christ
The devil hates God and he wants to destroy every statute and covenant of God like marriage, family, the church, the relationship between God and man, etc., but he also hates women. If it was up to him he would get rid of every woman from the face of the earth. Why? Because the seed of the woman reminds the devil of his defeat. The seed of the woman has bruised his head.
The devil enjoys when men having sexual relationships with men, and females having sexual relationships with females, because that way the devil tries to get back at God and defiles the marriage covenant. He wants to separate men from women. He wants the world to get used to homosexuality, so that the stage will be set for the anti-Christ.
The devil shall ensure, that not only the world, but also churches (Christians) accept homosexuality and consider it normal, even when the Bible says something else.
This anti-Christ shall be, just like other sinners, against Christ. He shall have the character of the devil and shall hate women. Maybe the anti-Christ will be a homosexual, and therefore the world must be made ready to accept a homosexual person as a leader.
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all (Daniel 11:36-37)
Should we reject gay people and homosexuality in church?
You shouldn’t close the door for gays and lesbians if they come intending to repent of their life(style) and become born again in Christ. Because every sinner, who wants to repent is welcome. But you can’t accept homosexuality in the body of Jesus Christ.
You should love your neighbour as yourself, but you must not love the sins of your neighbour and accept sin. When a gay person or a lesbian hates his or her deeds, way of life, and sinful nature, and comes to church for help with the intention repent and follow Jesus, then let him or her in and set the person free in the Name of Jesus, but otherwise…
After the person repents and becomes born again, the person needs to be discipled, so that the person grows up in the Word of God, renews the mind, gets to know God’s will, and becomes a doer of the Word.
You shall see, that first of all (s)he will feel some kind of liberation, secondly when (s)he renews his/her mind with the Word of God, his/her thinking and feelings shall change and (s)he shall be controlled by the Holy Spirit, instead of being controlled by (the lust of) the flesh, and the darkness.
What does the world say about homosexuality?
What does the world say about homosexuality? The world says the opposite of what the Word, Есүс, says. The world (and the ruler of this world, the devil) wants everyone to consider homosexuality normal and approve of homosexuality and don’t discriminate or judge homosexuality.
They want everyone, including Christians, to accept gays and lesbians and accept homosexuality in the church. They make you accept homosexuality and persuade you that there is nothing wrong with having sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex. But the Bible is very clear about what God thinks of homosexuality.
Conclusion
Many people, who call themselves Christians but have the spirit and the mind of the world, try to prove, on basis of the Bible, that God accepts and approves of homosexuality. But they shall never succeed in proving that God approves of homosexuality. Because the Word can’t turn against Himself. Бурхан, Есүс, and the Holy Spirit shall never accept homosexuality and make it approved and bless the practice of homosexuality.
Jesus loves you, He loves every person, every sinner, who wants to repent. But Jesus doesn’t love the works of the flesh (including homosexuality, which according to the Bible is a sin and an abomination to God). Therefore, Jesus wants every person to repent of their sinful life as a sinner and become a new creation. He doesn’t want any person to perish.
But people have a free to choose righteousness unto life or sin unto death.
The only way to eternal life is through Jesus Christ and by faith and regeneration in Him.
Every person who refuse to become born again and put off the works of the flesh, including homosexuality, is lost.
God won’t accept any excuse! Not even the excuse that a homosexual is born that way and therefore it’s ok to practice homosexuality. Everyone is born in sin and iniquity and everyone needs to become born again and put off the old man and put on the new man.
Every feeling, that opposes the Word of God, is not out of God.
God is very clear in His Word. If the Holy Spirit really lives in a born again Christians then their opinions, way of thinking, and findings will be in line with the (opinion of) the Word of God, who says:
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination (Leviticus 18: 22).
. If The Word shall judge every person. Therefore listen to the Word, obey the Word, and repent while you still can.
