        Regardless of what you think about homosexuality, in July 2015, the United States Supreme Court made a far reaching decision that will affect the people of this country as long as the United States remains a country or until Jesus Christ returns to set up His earthly kingdom in Jerusalem.

     By a split decision of 5 – 4, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of “gay marriage” overturning thousands of years of the traditional definition of marriage as being a union between one man and one woman.

     In effect, Christians are now being forced to do business with homosexuals regardless of their own personal faith. By the stroke of a pen, Americans’ freedom to exercise their religion, which was guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to our Constitution, was overturned. Just recently, a bakery, owned and operated by Christians, was fined $135,000.00 for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Before the landmark ruling by the five liberal Supreme Court justices, a Christian photographer in New Mexico was forced to pay $9,000 for refusing to photograph a same sex union ceremony. Regardless of how you feel about these situations, the United States is no longer the country that its founding fathers created.

     The gay marriage ruling follows other rulings by the Supreme Court that have made huge changes in this country. By Supreme Court decisions, prayer was taken out of our public schools in the 1960’s and abortion was made legal. It is obvious that there is an all out attack on Christianity. Just this year, 2015, polls show a considerable decline in those who call themselves “Christian.”

     There seems to be a major split among those who call themselves Christians about sodomy, or homosexuality. I want to take a look at what God really does think about homosexuality.

     First of all, is it even possible for Christians to have an inkling of an idea about what God thinks about homosexuality? I consider myself to be a Christian. I became a follower of Jesus Christ when I was thirteen years old and I became much more serious in my relationship with Jesus Christ when I was eighteen years old, in 1978. That is when I became a serious student of the Bible.

Ground Rules

     In order to be able to know what God thinks about homosexuality, we have to set some ground rules. Most Christians will agree that the Bible is the book whereby Christians should govern their beliefs. In our quest to determine if it is possible to know God’s will concerning homosexuality, we will use the Bible. 

     When I was eighteen years old, my twenty-one year old brother was dying from cancer. One of my uncles had spoken about times that God had healed him so that drove me to talk to my brother about “divine healing” and it also inspired me to find what the Bible had to say about healing. My family did not go to church a lot but when we did, we went to a Baptist church that was associated with the Southern Baptist. I never remembered hearing a sermon about healing but I probably did not pay much attention either. As I began to study the Bible, I came across the following verses:

James 5:14-15 (KJV)
14  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

     I was excited to see what the Bible actually said concerning healing so I immediately picked up the phone and called our pastor. I told him what I had read and I asked him if he would call the elders of the church to come to the hospital and pray for my older brother. There was a long pause on the other end of the phone and finally he responded, “Well, we don’t really believe that.” I was stunned! I thought, “If they don’t believe their own Bible, they should throw the thing away!”

     In the many years since then, I have found that every time someone came to Jesus with someone who was sick, Jesus healed them. There is no question that the Bible teaches “divine healing.” Whether “Christians” or churches believe it or not is an entirely different situation.

     If we are going to call ourselves Christians, Believers or Followers of Christ, we must also believe His written Word. If you do not believe His Word, the Bible, then you should call yourself something other than a Christian.

What is the Bible?

     So, what exactly is the Bible? The Bible is a collection of sixty-six books divided into two sections, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament has 39 books and the New Testament has 37 books. The Bible was written by 40 different authors, who were inspired by the Holy Spirit, over a period of some 1,500 years. In 1611, the King James Bible was published and it has stood the test of time. It is still revered by many Bible scholars and Christian ministers.

Can We Know God’s Will?

     If you asked Christians this question, you would receive mixed responses. What does the Bible itself teach us? John, one of Jesus’ most beloved disciples writes:

1 John 5:13 (KJV)
13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

     He shows us that we CAN know the will of God concerning eternal life. What about other things in the Bible. Let’s begin with what the Word of God is. Let’s go even further and discover WHO the Word of God is.

     John gives us some incredible insight into the Bible when he writes, in the Gospel of John:

John 1:1-3; 14 (KJV)
1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

     I recently read an argument for homosexuality and the author of the article said that Jesus Christ Himself never said anything about homosexuality, either for it or against it. I must disagree. Jesus Christ IS the Word of God and the Word of God has existed forever with God and he speaks plainly about the sin of homosexuality as we will see later.

     Many people only relate the baby born in the stable in Bethlehem with Jesus. We hear about the baby Jesus at Christmas but most people do not know that Jesus has existed forever! He has existed forever in his “deity” and when He was born in Bethlehem, He was born into His “humanity.” He has always been part of the triune Godhead, the Trinity. He is spoken of in the Old Testament as the “Angel of the Lord.”

     When Jesus came in the flesh, or as a man, He was born of a virgin so that He would not be born into sin as you and I were. Then He lived a sinless life even though He went through the same kinds of persecution and temptation we go through.

     In His teachings, Jesus tells us that through Him, we can KNOW the what God our Father’s will is! That is exciting to me! We do not have to try and figure out, in our minds, what God wants. But, this happens far too many times. “Christians” found their beliefs on the way THEY feel or on certain emotions rather than on what God says in His holy Word! There is absolutely no room for this and it should not be so. Every doctrine and everything we believe should come straight from the teachings of the Word, Jesus Christ!

John 10:30 (KJV)
30  I and my Father are one.

John 14:6-11 (ESV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

     The Bible is very clear that we CAN know God’s will in most matters. The pastor who told me that they did not believe in divine healing did not know what the Bible plainly teaches or he chose to deny that part of the Bible. There are many denominations who might as well tear certain pages of the Bible out and throw them away because they refuse to believe what is written. To them, the Word of God has absolutely NO POWER. Another thing that takes away the power of the Word of God is man’s tradition.

Mark 7:13 (KJV)
13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Hosea 4:6a (KJV)
6  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

     The Word of God is the most powerful force on earth yet Christians do not see that power manifested for at least three separate reasons:

Feelings vs. Faith

     Emotions get in the way of believing what God’s Word says. The Bible teaches us that because of Adam’s sin, sin came upon all of mankind. Because of that sin, our just reward is to spend eternity separated from God. God does not want to be eternally separated from you. Not one of us has the power within ourselves to be able to save ourselves. God came up with the plan of the ages and that was to send Christ to become a man, live a life just as you and I do with all the same temptations and yet He did not sin. He didn’t do that through His divine power. In fact, He laid all of His deity, or the God part of Himself completely aside while He was on earth (see Phil. 2:6 and 1 Jn 4:2). When Jesus was whipped by the Roman guards, He provided divine healing for all of us who will believe (Isa. 53:4,5; 1 Pt. 2:24). When He was on the cross, He not only took all of your sin and paid the price for it, He BECAME sin on your behalf (2 Cor. 5:21). If you will believe that with all of your heart, you will be saved and will not live in eternity cut off and separated from God in hell.

Romans 10:9 (KJV)
9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

     n the last decade or two a teaching has been going around that is not scriptural. The first time I heard of it was when noted minister, Carleton Pearson, began to teach “the Gospel of Inclusion.” Rev. Pearson pastored a large and growing church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was a multi-talented minister and singing artist. He was on the boards of large ministries, including the board of Oral Roberts University. Pearson began to teach that it did not matter what a person thought, everyone would eventually find their way to heaven. It didn’t matter if a person was a Buddhist, a Muslim or a heathen, they would all eventually go to heaven.

     I read a book, written by another person, which pushed the doctrine of inclusion. The author said that he had neighbors who were Muslim. The wife and children had been in a horrible car accident that had taken their lives. The Muslim husband asked him if, according to the Christian faith, if his family was in heaven. The author changed his belief because his emotions would not let him tell the Muslim man what the Bible says. God makes a way, through Jesus Christ, for all of us to escape eternal separation from Him. God is also a just and righteous God. God will judge people according to what they have heard and even also according to how they see God in nature (Rom. 1:19,20). I used to struggle with how, for example, the American Indians could go to hell if they had never had the opportunity to hear about Jesus paying the price for their sin. The old, incorrect question of, “How can a righteous God send anyone to hell,” was dancing around in my head. The fact is, God has never sent anyone, except for Satan and some fallen angels to hell. God made a way for us to escape hell and it is a very easy way, even for someone who has never heard the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ. One day as I was reading the Bible, I found the answer! In Romans chapter 1, Paul tells us that these people, through nature, see that there is a diving being. They may not know Him as God or Jesus Christ but they know there is a God and God will judge them accordingly. God loves you more than you will ever know and He made a way for you and for every other person. That way is to simply put your trust in Jesus Christ, that He paid for your sins. When you truly believe that in your heart, you will desire to live for Him and He will change your life!

Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (through the Word of God, the Bible), that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

     The Gospel of Inclusion came about as a result of someone’s emotions and not by teaching what the Bible plainly teaches. The Gospel of Inclusion gives people a false hope and a false security, making them think that all is well between them and God when, in fact, it is not. We cannot let emotions dictate what we believe God’s nature to be.

     Emotions are also causing “Christians” to believe and to even teach that homosexuality is okay. They reason among themselves that God loves us and surely God would not reject anyone because of whom that person chooses to love. Not only are there, so called Christians, teaching that God will accept homosexuality but there are also ministers and churches who are teaching this deadly falsehood! If you love someone, you will tell them the truth. Truth can only be established through the Word of God, not through your emotions. We will see later that not only are those who practice homosexuality in big trouble but also those who accept those who do so! I have friends who call themselves Christians yet they have chosen to live the life of a homosexual. All of them either had something traumatic happen to them when they were young like being sexually molested or they were treated so badly throughout their lives by members of the opposite sex, they end up choosing the homosexual lifestyle. All of us are “born into sin.”

Sin is a Choice

     Before we become followers of Christ, that sin rules us. When we accept Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside our spirit, the real us, and we have a choice to continue sinning or to walk free from any sin that would interfere with our relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

     A friend of mine who is a minister says, “We KNOW it before we sin!” You see, sin starts in our mind (our soul. We are a spirit, with a soul, which is our mind, our will and our intellect, and we live in a body). Our soul is commonly referred to as, our “flesh.” Our “flesh” is really our soul or our mind and it is the battleground where we struggle with sin. The Bible even refers to our flesh as “the old man.”

     I have often said that homoSEXuality is ALL ABOUT THE SEX! Homosexuals do not like hearing this but it is true. If you take the SEX out of a homosexual relationship, then those people are just very good friends. The Bible has an example of a great friendship in David, who later becomes King of Israel and Jonathan, the son of the first King of Israel, Saul. David and Jonathan were extremely close friends. They had taken a vow to die for each other if need be. There are homosexuals, in their wickedness, who lie and say David and Jonathan had a homosexual relationship and it is just not true.

     You can have an extremely close friend of the same sex. You can share everything with that person, even live under the same roof. You can leave all your earthly possessions to them when you die and if you are not having sex with them, then you are not a homoSEXual!

HomoSEXuality Worse than Other Sins?

     Not only is sexual sin wrong but when you commit sexual sins, you sin against your own flesh!

1 Corinthians 6:9-20 (ESV)
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 
10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 
11 And such were some of you. 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.
12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 
13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 
14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 
17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 
18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 
20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

     Notice also, in verse 11, Paul is writing about some of the people in the church at Corinth who used to live lives with sexual sin but they were “washed, sanctified and justified” in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Do not believe the lie that people are “born gay!” That is a hoax that was started in 1985 by a couple of homosexual men.

     All sexual sin is wrong but homosexuality is the only sin in the Bible where God turns those who practice it, over to a “reprobate mind” or a “mind void of judgment!”

     Paul speaks of homosexuals in Romans chapter One.

Romans 1:18-32 (KJV)
18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21  Because that, 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.
22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25  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.
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 Homosexual Lie About Hospitality

     The first occurrence we have of homosexuality is in the book of Genesis. Abraham is the father of the Jewish and Christian faiths. God had directed him to leave his home in Assyria and go to Canaan (modern day Israel). God promised to give Abraham the land of Canaan and He also promised to give him and his wife a child and through that child God would raise up great nations. Abraham’s nephew, a man named Lot, moved with him to Canaan. Abraham and Lot both had many servants and livestock. There were so many people that quarrels would break out between Lot’s servants and Abraham’s. Finally, Abraham took Lot to a high place and told him to look over the land and choose where he wanted to take his servants and livestock to live. Lot chose the fertile valley to the east, leaving Abraham with the arid land to the west.

     A few years down the road, God himself along with two angels walk up to Abraham’s dwelling place and God tells Abraham that He is going to destroy two cities, Sodom and Gomorrah because of the sin and wickedness that is going on there. Abraham begins to intercede on the behalf of those people in those cities. He asks God, if He finds fifty righteous people living in those cities, if He will spare them. God agreed that He would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if He found fifty righteous people there. Well, Abraham, the father of the Jews began to “Jew” God down and finally asked God, if He found ten righteous people, if would spare the cities. God agreed that if He found ten righteous people that He would not destroy them. Unfortunately, there were not ten righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah. There were four righteous people however. There was Lot, his wife and their two daughters.

     Homosexuals have started a lie saying that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because the people there did not follow the strict hospitality laws of the day. Someone had to really use their imagination to make up that story because it does not fly with the facts the Bible lays out.

     God, and the two angels, had come to destroy the cities because of the sin that was going on in those cities. Hospitality is never mentioned or even implied. It is very clear from reading the Bible that God sent His angles to Sodom and Gomorrah to destroy the sodomites there! The angels went ahead of God and when they got to the cities, they saw Lot sitting in the gate of Sodom. Lot immediately recognized them as angels and bowed himself before them. Then he invited them to stay with him, in his house. The angels were content to sleep outside for the night but Lot persisted so they stayed with him. Later, we see a mob of wicked sodomites, the Bible even tells us that EVERY male, young and old, tried to break the door down to Lot’s house and demanded that Lot send the two “men” out so that they could have sex with them. These men did not recognize that the two individuals were angels. Let’s take a look at what the Bible tells us about the account:

Genesis 19:1-11 (ESV)
1 The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth 
2 and said, “My lords, please turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will spend the night in the town square.” 
3 But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. 
5 And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” (Have sex with them.)
6 Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him, 
7 and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
8 Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 
9 But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down. 
10 But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door. 
11 And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.

     By living among that wickedness, Lot had become messed up in his thinking. Who, in their right mind, would offer up their two virgin daughters to be raped by a crowd of evil sodomites? It had nothing to do with “hospitality.” The homosexual lie uses “they have come under the shelter of my roof” in verse 8 to try and say the wicked perverts weren’t doing anything wrong except violating some “hospitality law” that the Bible never speaks of. Anyone, in any society would try to protect guests in their home.

     Lot CHOSE to live among the wickedness of sodomy. Willfully living around sin will have an effect on you! Lot’s entire family was messed up! The Bible goes on to tell us how, as Lot, his wife and two daughters were fleeing Sodom, his wife looked back and she was turned into a pillar of salt. Obviously, Lot and his daughters looked back and saw what happened because they were able to share the account later. Remember that all the occupants of those two cities except for Lot and his family were killed. There had to be something more to her looking back.

Genesis 19:26 (ESV)
26 But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

     In fact, if you look up the Hebrew word for “looked,” it means that not only did she look but that she looked back with a longing to go back or a desire to live in that filth and sin. It wasn’t the fact that she SAW the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah but rather that she longed to go back to the wickedness. In the

2 Peter 2:7-8 (KJV)
7  And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8  (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

     Lot’s soul (his mind, will and intellect) were vexed by living among the evils of sodomy yet he chose to continue living there. We never see an instance of him preaching out against their sin!

     To show you just how messed up Lot and his family had become, we saw that his wife longed to go back to live among the wickedness of sodomy and later we see Lot’s daughters getting him drunk, then having sex with him so that they could carry on the family bloodline. They were afraid that all the men in the world were sodomites and they were afraid they would never have the chance to have children to carry on their progeny.

Genesis 19:31-38 (ESV)
31 And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.  (They were afraid that every man on the face of the earth was homosexual)
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
34 The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” 
35 So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. 
37 The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38 The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

     The other homosexual lie that Jesus never spoke about homosexuality, pro or con is just that, a lie. Jesus is the Word of God. When we read the Bible, we are discovering Him and also the Father’s will which He came to show us.

Other Scriptures about Homosexuality

     We find warnings against homosexuality in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. Let’s examine those passages of scripture:

Leviticus 18:22 (KJV)
"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 20:13 (ESV)
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

1 Kings 14:24 (ESV)
And there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

Judges 19:16-30 (GW)
16  That evening an old man came into the city from his work in the fields. He was from the mountain region of Ephraim but lived in Gibeah. The other people who lived there were from the tribe of Benjamin.
17  He saw the traveler in the city square. So the old man asked, “Where do you come from? And where are you going?”
18  The Levite replied, “We're on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to a remote area in the mountains of Ephraim. That's where I'm from. I had gone to Bethlehem in Judah. Now I'm going to the LORD'S house, but no one has offered to take me into his home.
19  We have straw and fodder for our donkeys. I even have bread and wine for myself, the woman, and my servant. We have everything we need.”
20  Then the old man said, “Welcome! Let me take care of your needs. Just don't spend the night in the city square.”
21  So he took the Levite to his house and fed the donkeys. After they washed, they ate and drank.
22  While they were enjoying themselves, some worthless men from the city surrounded the house and pounded on the door. They told the old man, the owner of the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so that we can have sex with him.”
23  The owner went out to them. He told them, “No, my friends! Please don't do anything so evil! This man is a guest in my home. Don't do such a godless thing!
24  Here, let me bring out my virgin daughter and this man's concubine. Rape them, and do with them whatever you want. Just don't do such a godless thing to this man.”
25  But the men refused to listen to him. So the Levite grabbed his concubine and forced her outside. They had sex with her and abused her all night until morning. They let her go when the sun was coming up.
26  At daybreak, the woman came to the door of the house where her husband was and collapsed. She was still there when it became light.
27  Her husband got up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and was about to leave. His wife (that is, his concubine) was lying at the door of the house with her hands on the doorstep.
28  The Levite said to her, “Get up! Let's go!” But she did not answer. So he put her on the donkey and left for home.
29  When he arrived home, he got a knife. He took his concubine and cut her limb from limb into 12 pieces. Then he sent the pieces throughout the territories of Israel.
30  Everyone who saw it said, “Never has such a thing happened or been seen from the time the people of Israel came out of Egypt until today. Think about it! Form a plan, and speak out!”

     If you truly love someone, you WILL tell them the truth. The Bible is clear that those who commit sexual sin will not be in heaven! If you are a minister and you are telling people that God accepts homosexuals as they are, you WILL stand in judgment for condoning sin that will lead these people straight to hell!

James 3:1 (KJV)
1  My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

Ezekiel 33:2-9 (GW)
2  “Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them, ‘Suppose I bring war on this country, and the people of this country choose one of their men and make him their watchman.
3  If he sees the enemy coming to attack the country, he will blow his horn to warn the people.
4  If the people hear the horn and ignore the warning and the enemy comes and takes them, they will be responsible for their own deaths.
5  They heard the sound of the horn but ignored its warning. So they are responsible for their own deaths. If they had taken the warning, they would have saved themselves.
6  “‘But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn't blow his horn to warn the people and the enemy comes and kills someone, that watchman must die because of his sin. I will hold him responsible for their deaths.'
7  “Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I say, and warn them for me.
8  Suppose I say to a wicked person, ‘You wicked person, you will certainly die,' and you say nothing to warn him to change his ways. That wicked person will die because of his sin, and I will hold you responsible for his death.
9  But if you warn a wicked person to turn from his ways and he doesn't turn from them, then he will die because of his sin. However, you will save yourself.

     If you have asked Jesus into your heart and you are living a homosexual lifestyle, you will NOT go to heaven and God will NOT bless you on this earth. FORGET about asking Him to bless you. You have become an ENEMY of God when you choose to continue to walk in your sin when you KNOW it is wrong!

2 Timothy 3:1-9 (KJV)
1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

2 Timothy 4:3 (ESV)
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

James 4:4-5 (GW)
4  You unfaithful people! Don't you know that love for this {evil} world is hatred toward God? Whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God.
5  Do you think this passage means nothing? It says, “The Spirit that lives in us wants us to be his own.”

Revelation 3:15-16 (GW)
15  I know what you have done, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16  But since you are lukewarm and not hot or cold, I'm going to spit you out of my mouth.

     If you are a “Christian” living in sexual sin, if the Holy Spirit is convicting you of your sin, you had better turn to Him quickly and repent of what you are doing! You won’t have long. Romans chapter One tells us that God has turned you over to your vile affections and to a REPROBATE MIND! As you continue to live in the arrogance of your sin, you may well grieve the Holy Spirit which is the unpardonable sin and your spirit will be doomed forever in hell! Don’t let that happen! Fall on your knees today and repent!

There is Hope!

1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV)
11 And such were some of you. 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.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ephesians 5:1-21 (ESV)
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ...

Galatians 5:16-21 (ESV)
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ...

Acts 5:29 (ESV)
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
