GOD AND BEING GAY

“`Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. “`Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

“`Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. (Leviticus 18:22-25)

God views homosexual acts right next to having sex with an animal – something even some homosexuals would say is wrong. Yet a man having sex with a sheep, (that is where VD came from) is the same as a man having sex with another man, or a woman with another woman.

Sometimes being homosexual is a sign that God is more ashamed of you than everyone else. For there is a sin that is worse than other sins. That sin is a sexual perversion called “being gay”. Because of your hard heart God has turned you over to something very shameful and wicked. God says that since certain individuals refuse to worship him he turns them over to “shameful lusts” – lust whereby a man will want to have sex with another man and women with another women. Homosexuality is a symptom of a depraved spiritual condition. It is a sign of a self-centered heart. Homosexuals are so self-absorbed and selfish that they cannot see the need to worship and love the True God.

Therefore God lets them go into their sin so that they might see just how wicked and dirty their hearts and souls are. It is a tough truth for a homosexual to admit, but it is truth. Just listen to what God says about this issue of your heart.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities”his eternal power and divine nature”have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the
sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator”who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.

Even their women
exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.

They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:20-32)

The reason someone is gay is that they are more selfish than others. No one is gay because they are born that way or were taught to be so. Any good scientist will tell you that they do not know what makes a person gay. Again, being gay is a result of sin. And that is good news. For now that we know what the cause is we know where to find the cure. The cure is not in a sex change operation or passing laws to protect the rights of gays.

The cure, for those who want it, is to confess it as sin and let God change them. And change they can! God is able to deliver and change anyone who comes to him and humbly asks for forgiveness. Of course many do not want to change. For those who do not want to change there is no hope. They will become more and more deprived and will wind up going to hell. In fact, we see this increase in perversion taking place. As Romans says, they “also approve of those who practice them”. Indeed, we now see a whole “church”, the MCC church, devoted to justifying this “indecent act”.

The MCC church is devoted to approving of those who “practice” the sexual acts of homosexuality. It is amazing to watch the MCC church and gays fulfill Romans as they seek to justify this sin. For in the twisting of the passage in Romans they are fulfilling what Romans said they would do.

They exchanged the truth of God for a
lie…(Romans 1:25)

Now, this is a tract devoted to gays with love. This tract is not a result of a “homophobic” teacher. This is not some “hate crime” pamphlet.

I am sure it would be comfortable for a homosexual to write this off as such. For then they would not be responsible to change. Our concern is not that homosexuals are gaining rights in society but the everlasting fact that gays will have no right to go to heaven.

Ours is a great love and concern. For we do not want any homosexual to go to hell. And to the “straight” church it must be told that it is not loving for you to allow someone who claims to be a Christian who commits homosexual perversion to remain in the church. In fact, if anyone who is homosexual is in your church or neighborhood and will not repent you are not allowed to eat lunch with them.

But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. (I Corinthians 5:11)

Again, the truth in all of this is written with the greatest of love. After all, were it not for the grace of God everyone of us could be “turned over” to become gay! For those of you who do want to change there is a way out. For those of you who are determined to “hate God” and be punished there is no need to read further. Whatever the case, make no mistake about it, this sin is more serious than others.

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. (I Corinthians 6:18)

Notice that “all other sins” are “outside” a man’s or woman’s body. But sexual sin will receive a harder punishment because it sins directly against the body God has given each individual. That is, God gave you a body and you will have to give an account to God on how you used that body. The punishment must be great for God to warn in such a clear and unmistakable way. The punishment is so terrible that God destroyed a town before its time with fire just to show you what will happen to you if you don’t repent.

In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7)

It is very clear what the sin and perversion of Sodom and Gomorrah was.

Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom”both young and old”surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”

“Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. (Genesis 19:4-9)

Notice two things. One, the men from “every part of the city” came to have sex with these men. And, two, they didn’t like the judgemental spirit that these men, who were really angels, came with. Verse 9 says, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge!”. This is exactly what homosexuals cannot stand – someone saying that what they do is wrong. You see, the concern is not really for equal rights. Homosexuals want others to say that what they do is okay. This is the Jesus whom the MCC church and other religious homosexuals have violated and thrown out. It is a Jesus who comes to judge and to say that what they do is wrong. They are not interested in the love of Jesus that calls them to repentance. However, there are two cities of homosexuals you should consider. You need to ask if you are homosexual that lives in Sodom or Gomorrah. For Jesus says that one city would still be here today if Jesus had walked in that city preaching repentance.

And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” (Matthew 11:23-24)

Jesus says that “Sodom” would still be around today but he never mentions Gomorrah. That is, Sodom would have said, “Yes Jesus, I am a sinner and very wicked! Will you forgive and change me?” So it is not Christians nor homophobics that are causing you problems. It is the city you live in. If you live in Gomorrah you will be burning in hell for all eternity. But if you are a homosexual that lives in Sodom you will be changed and have true love and fellowship with Jesus in heaven. Which city do you live in? If you decide to keep committing homosexual perversion at least be honest enough to say you are willing to go to hell for it – that you are willing to take whatever punishment God has in mind. Just don’t be deceived into thinking you can be gay and go to heaven. For no matter how “loving” and “kind” you are as a gay you will not go to heaven.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (I Corinthians 6:9-11)

Again, notice the good news. It says in verse 11, “And that is what some of you were”. You can be delivered from this sin if you want to. Do you want to be delivered? If so please contact us. God has an abundant life of joy waiting for you! It is up to you whether you want to keep a self-centered soul or become a person who has a genuine love for others that comes from the God of love.

You might think it is impossible but those of us who are honestly lovers of God know the sins He has delivered us from. We can testify to you that God has delivered us from lust, self-centeredness and wickedness. And though the Christian life is narrow and humbling it is a grand experience – that is, for those who want to learn to love God. For others who love their perversion they will hate this tract and accuse us of hating them. But the truth is that the problem lies with them. They hate God.
