What does the bible say about homosexuality?
With almost all cultural media telling us that homosexuality is ok where are Christians supposed to stand? We hear about homosexual pastors and we hear about churches showing their hate for homosexuals but what does the bible say? Well in 1st John 1:5-8 the bible talks about light and darkness, It says that God is light and in him is no darkness at all but if we claim to fellowship with God but are living in darkness we are liars! Basically you can't do both! You can't "sorta" be down for God you have to be all the way, you have to live his word without compromise but it is really important to understand his word first.
In 1st John"darkness" implies sin so you can't sin and walk with God, but it says that you can't walk in darkness. I think that the most important word here is walk. Walking in sin implies a lifestyle of sin, that's our first point. In Romans 1:18-32 The bible talks about Rome's sins and how it was horrible in God's eyes They were engaging in sexual immorallity, men were lusting for men and women for women, It was horrible in God's eyes and so he gave them over to a depraved mind. The bible say's that homosexuality is wrong and unnatural God say's that homosexuality is unnatural and wicked. This makes it a sin. And homosexuality is a lifestyle so, it is a darkness that you walk in. So the bible says that homosexuality is wrong, should we hate homsexuals? NO! the bible tells us to love everyone! Love the sinner but not the sin, If you treated homosexuals badly you would be living in sin too! Guess what, God loves homosexuals like he loves you and me, it's not like we don't sin. We do, but here is an upside, Jesus died for our sins so that they can be forgiven. Homosexality is not a forever lifestyle, just like someone can be forgiven for being a theif God will forgive people for homosexuality and he will work with their hearts and minds just as he works with our when we are forgiven. Guy's homosexuality is not a disease, i don't believe that it is something you were born with, and it is not anything to hate anyone for. So love eveyone. more on this in the next issue!
