Is it okay to be gay? - Lines & Precepts

Who created mankind?

Why was mankind created?

Can same sex intercourse fulfill the biblical purpose of why mankind was created?

Does the God of the bible accept or reject the idea of homosexuality?

The answers to these questions will prove if it is acceptable for mankind to have an intimate relationship with the same sex.

The reason why many Christians today, erroneously believe that God permits homosexuality, is because false prophets have wrongly taught that Jesus’ death nailed the enitre law to the cross. However the Bible states that the law is HOLY, JUST, and GOOD! (Romans 7:12)

Without the law, there is no sin and according to the bible, sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). Which laws you may ask? This includes, laws against sodomy/homosexuality (Leviticus 20), the Lords feast days (Leviticus 23), dietary law (Leviticus 11), and his seventh day Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11)

Now, let us allow the Holy Bible to answer the four main questions above. If we call ourselves followers of Christ, then we should let the word of God dictate what is right and wrong in all situations pertaining to our everyday lives, including the issue of homosexuality.

1) God created man.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version (KJV)

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

2) Man was created to procreate

Genesis 1:28

King James Version (KJV)

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

3) Man can only naturally replenish with a woman

Definition of re·plen·ish : to fill with persons or animals

Men cannot reproduce with men, neither can women with women. This very fact should inform us that homosexuality is wrong, against God’s order and is biologically unnatural.

4) God rejects the idea of homosexuality in the old and new testament:

Leviticus 20:13

King James Version (KJV)

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 same applies to women because two women cannot fulfill the biblical purpose of God’s creation)

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

King James Version (KJV)

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.

Romans 1:21-32

King James Version (KJV)

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:

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.

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;

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,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The God of the Bible has never accepted the idea of same sex marriage. God does not change, even when society does. God is not a liberal. He is a benevolent dictator, and if we want to inherit the blessing of his soon coming kingdom then we must prepare ourselves by not accepting the mindset of this world.

Below are three videos that help explain, the physical/spiritual consequences of homosexuality, the psychology behind it, and that it is very possible to stop being a homosexual. If it were not so, then the Lord would not call all men and women to repent.
