The Holy Bible And Cults
Page Two
On this page you can read an example of how many people today attempt to alter the clear interpretation of the Bible for their own special interests on the hot topic of homosexuality.
Once again -
And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, GOD will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Revelation 22:19
The Bible speaks clearly about the homosexual lifestyle -
There are those who like to say that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. Various verses are cited out of context and the verses that people use to show that homosexuality is wrong are explained away. The world wants to change GOD'S Words and meanings into something more suitable to its sinful desires. Nevertheless, the truth stands: The Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin. Let's look at what it says.

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 "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." Romans 1:26-32 "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." |
Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible. Homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by GOD HIMSELF. This judgment is simple: Those people who choose to live as practicing homosexuals are given over to their passions. This judgment is fully explained in the Romans passage above.
As a result -
How should a Follower of JESUS relate to a person living a homosexual lifestyle?
Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for them. Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross, repented of, and with the most sincerity possible, never done again on purpose.
As a Christian, you should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same you would any other person in a sexually sinful lifestyle. The homosexual is still made in the image of GOD -- even though they are living in grave sin. Therefore, you should show them same dignity as anyone else you come in contact with. However, this does not mean that you are to approve of their sin. Don't compromise your witness for a socially accepted opinion - 'that GOD made some to be homosexual'.
GOD made man to be man and woman to be woman. HE made woman from man. Man is to be united with a woman and the two of them shall become one. There is no exception in the Kingdom of GOD! This does not make GOD out to be angry and hateful. Created man cannot change the CREATOR'S order of the universe in an attempt to make their sin acceptable and then blame the CREATOR for non-tolerance or hateful acts against them. Such logic is tainted, and is not actually logic at all!
What Can a Homosexual do to find help?
Finally, this Article was written in love, to show practicing homosexuals that their lifestyle is in itself condemned, but they don't have to be condemned themselves if they will surrender their lives to GOD. Regardless of how many Denominations, Church's, Priests, Pastors or Elders preach that the homosexual lifestyle is not condemned by GOD'S Word, you have seen clearly that they are wrong! It is a case that they may happen to live personal lifestyles of homosexuality, or have been deceived through what they believe is compassionate.
The one who preaches that GOD is love and HE would never turn HIS back on the one who hates HIM, hates HIS Word and lives in rebellion to HIS Commands is not speaking the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
GOD is love: Here is what the Scripture has to say to the Follower of JESUS -
And so we know and rely on the love GOD has for us. GOD is love. Whoever lives in love lives in GOD, and GOD in HIM.

John 4:16
GOD clearly loves you, but that is not a ticket for you to do as you please with every area of your life. You were not created to be a so-called Christian murderer, thief, adulterer, liar or a homosexual for that matter. This is not possible, you were created to accept JESUS as your personal SAVIOR and receive the gift of eternal life in HIS Name.
