What does the Word of God say about Homosexuality?
Our world today is in an uproar about this topic. Does God love all men? Yes, he does. Does God love the sin that men commit? No, he doesn’t. Tim |

In reading the scripture concerning homosexuality, the following passages must be reviewed. Take note that the passages are consistent between the old and new testaments.
So God created main in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For even women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in heir lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Homosexuality is a lifestyle. It is a choice made by those who desire to be unnatural. Can a homosexual person repent and be forgiven by God? The answer is yes.
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but your were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
God remains consistent in His condemnation of homosexuality as He does for all other sins. Homosexuality is indeed an unacceptable lifestyle before the Lord God Almighty. Praise be to God for the salvation that comes through Christ. Next Message: Salvation-The Benefits of Baptism
