Homosexuality: Not an issue of political correctness

Periodically, while navigating, one must check their "moral compass" to verify if their headings are correct,....


Jesus speaking in,.... John 14:6,.."I am the way, the truth"........

Jesus speaking here of the Word,...John 17:17,..."thy word is truth".......

The Word of God describes the Church as,... 1 Timothy 3:15,..."the pillar and ground of the truth."

And finally, Jesus states in,...Matthew 24:4,..."Take heed that no man deceive you."



We're truth-handlers. People should look at us expecting integrity within and without, by word, and by deed. There's glaring evidence of slackness within the Church regarding homosexuality. One can only surmise why such polarity exists,...but regardless, the disregard of scriptural heedings sets the Church up for yet another reason it's losing relevancy, which hinders the cause of Christ !

Let's perform a little examination:....in John 3:16,.."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." We see that God loves all sinners, inclusive of homosexuals. He died for ALL sinners, paving the way to an eternal relationship with Him.

What's the best way for the Church to treat homosexuals? However we choose, here's one option not available to us,...when Jesus was asked by soldiers how to treat others , Jesus replied in ,..Luke 3:14,.."Do violence to no man,"..... This gives us a partial guideline as to treating others, including homosexuals.

God, in an Old Testament declaration, says in,...Leviticus 18:22,..."Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

In a New Testament declaration, we read in,...Romans 1:26,27,..."for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:"... "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,"..... What one must make notation of here, is that the people 'made a choice' to behave this way; they weren't born this way. Perhaps the best explanation of choosing to sin is found in,...James 1:14-15,..."But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

The damnation of it all is couched in,... Romans 1:32,...where the preceding v31 mention of "without natural affection" is brought to bear, it reads,..."Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death,"......

In a discourse ( Matthew 24:25 ) upon the mount of Olives to his disciples, Jesus states, "Behold, I have told you before." In other words, coupling that with Jesus's statement in John 16:13,...speaking of the Holy Spirit,..."he will guide you into all truth:"... we have to come away with the fact we've been taught well, but have we responded well to the teaching? Perhaps a little rereading of the demise of "Sodom & Gommorah" would be appropriate here.


In light of modernistic teachings, these following verses may be prove to be great meditation:

Hebrews 13:8,.."Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." and......

Malachi 3:6,..."For I am the Lord, I change not;"....


There's always a door of escape provided for sinners; and the Church needs to realize that overlooking and enabling are not remedies for sinners; but that our Lord alone provides the escape through Scripture,...1 John 1:9,.."If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." and the results are miraculous; just read
John 8:36,..."If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."


Speaking of Paul's writings, 2 Peter 3:16,...gives us this, "which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." This very aptly describes those spineless truth-twisters, and their end. Galations 5:7, really places a mirror in front of their countenances, while posing this indictment,..."Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? In essence, it begs an answer to what their 30 pieces of silver was. Position? Possessions? Power? Which one numbed their grip, so that, "truth is fallen in the street" ? ( Isaiah 59:14 )

In conclusion:
Homosexuality is a sin.
God has always considered it an abomination.
He will not change His mind.
But there's hope.
Ignoring it, nor condoning it, isn't hope, nor help.
If anyone teaches differently, it's to their own destruction.
Now, what should be the Church's position?


We must ask ourselves,..What part of "Thou shalt not" don't we understand?
