Homosexuality

Homosexuality is a sin. Pure and simple. Our government has been forced to accept and approve of these sinful actions and, in turn, attempts to force it upon the rest of us, feeding us lies and deceptions with regard to homosexuality. Regardless of what the government says or what laws are passed, homosexuality is not a legitimate nor permissible practice. God does not approve of it, nature does not approve of it, and I will not approve of it. Let us examine the truth of it.
  1. There is no such thing as a "homophobe." A phobia is a legitimate fear of something, and nobody on the face of the Earth is afraid of homosexuals. We do not jump up on chairs shrieking, "Eek! A homosexual! A homosexual!" "Homophobia" is an imaginary term concocted by the homosexual community in order to force their perverted agenda upon the general public in an attempt at making the general public feel sorry for them and their abominable acts. It is their way of attempting to silence those who are opposed to their sin by trying to force them to approve of and accept their perversion. Calling someone a "homophobe" is akin to calling someone a "murderophobe" or an "incestophobe." Exposing their sin does not make you phobic by any stretch of the definition.
  2. Homosexuality is a choice! They are not born that way! It is a scientifically proven fact that there is no such thing as a "gay gene." They choose to give in to their sinful thoughts and act them out unashamedly. Every individual who has come out of homosexuality, especially those who have received salvation, testifies to the fact that it is a choice for them to engage in and continue living in that sin.
  3. All of nature knows and proves that homosexuality is wrong. Simple biology proves that it is an abomination.
    First, the penis and the vagina were designed specifically for each other. The penis was designed to enter the vagina, and the vagina was designed to receive the penis. Homosexual relationships testify to the fact that one man and one woman is absolutely necessary for the fulfillment of every relationship. Lesbian relationships and actions prove that they need a man for the proper fulfillment of their relationship. The fact they need to use a dildo and/or a strap-on to mimic a man's role demonstrates powerfully that a man is the only suitable partner for a woman. Likewise, the male relationships and actions prove that they need a woman for the proper fulfillment of their relationship. The fact they engage in the perversion they do demonstrates powerfully that a woman is the only suitable partner for a man.
    Second, homosexuals cannot produce any progeny. Two men together cannot and will not produce a subsequent generation. Two women together cannot and will not produce a subsequent generation. Take all the gay men in the world and place them on a remote island together, then take all the gay women in the world and place them on a remote island together, and watch them all die off from one of two things: (a) contracted diseases, or (b) the inability to produce progeny in order to replace themselves. Lesbians cannot have children together. Artificial insemination proves the fact that a man is required in order to achieve pregnancy. Where do you think sperm comes from? Not women! Whether directly or indirectly involved, you still need a man. There are no ifs ands or buts about it. Homosexuality leads to death—physically first, then spiritually. It is not a "life" style by any stretch of the imagination. Why do you suppose it is that homosexual men live half to one-third as long as men who do not practice that abominable sin? Furthermore, homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt children as those children will be mentally scarred for life, the worst form of child abuse.
    Third, it is argued that you see homosexuality in nature. No you do not! You may see a male dog mount another male dog, but there is no penetration. It is no different than if a male dog mounts your leg. This argument is made in willful and deliberate ignorance. Furthermore, even if you did see homosexuality in nature, it would not change a thing. We do not get our morality from what animals do or do not. How animals act does not dictate how humans ought to act. We are above animals. We are living souls made in the image of God. Animals are not.
  4. Homosexual relationships themselves prove that all relationships were designed to include one male and one female. Even secular psychologists and relationship authors recognize this fact. In every homosexual relationship you have one person acting the role of the man and the other person acting the role of the woman. The very roles they act out is evidence against their perversion, proving to them that a proper relationship requires one male and one female.
  5. Their own consciences bear witness against them, telling them that what they practice is an abominable perversion. Why do you think they fight so hard to silence those opposed to their sin and try to force them to have to accept it? It does not matter how many laws are passed, their consciences will continue to inform them that what they are doing is wrong. Just because a law is passed trying to force the acceptance thereof upon the general public does not make that law right or prove their actions correct. If a law was passed supporting the possession of child porn, it would not change the fact that pedophilia is wrong! No matter how many laws are passed trying to force me to approve of and accept the homosexual's wrong behaviour, I will never do so. Putting me in jail for standing against their perversion will not change my mind. Wrong is still wrong! Sin is still sin!
Anyone who supports homosexuality is mentally unhealthy and in denial of the facts of life. “And although they know the law of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them” (Romans 1:32). You might as well support incest, pedophilia, rape, and bestiality as being alternate "life" styles, too. Each is a damnable sexually perverted abomination. Homosexuality should be banned and criminalized for its utter perversion against human nature and sexuality.

Homosexuals could rightly be called "Christophobes" because they are afraid of Jesus Christ and His truth. However, we are not going to make up imaginary terms the way they do. We will simply call them by the correct term—sinners. At every turn they continue to try and silence Jesus, His word, and His people in an attempt to try and silence their guilty, screaming consciences that tell them they are perverts for engaging intimately with the same sex. They are rightfully called Sodomites. As God destroyed Sodom in the past for its sexual abominations, so God will judge the homosexuals in the future and cast them into the lake of fire for all eternity. The men of Sodom did not want to be "friends" with the men who came to see Lot, as the homosexuals deceptively attempt to teach. Their sin has nothing to do with inhospitality. If it was a matter of being friendly and hospitable, God would not have destroyed them. If they were only trying to be friendly, why did Lot tell them, "Do not act wickedly," and they accused him of being their judge? No, the men of Sodom were destroyed because they wanted to sleep with these men and commit abominable acts. You can look to 2 Peter 2:7 and Jude 7 for support of these facts. The King James Bible uses the word "know" in relation to sexual union, just as Adam "knew" his wife and Joseph did not "know" Mary until after Jesus was born. It has nothing to do with hospitality.

"We know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals (αρσενοκοιταις) and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God" (1 Timothy 1:8-11). Homosexuality is a sin. It is a violation of human nature and sexuality. It is a perversion. "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 effeminate (ουτε μαλακοι), nor homosexuals (ουτε αρσενοκοιται), nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Figuratively, μαλακοι means effeminate (having feminine qualities untypical of a man), such as transvestites, men who make themselves out to be women, or a person who allows himself to be sexually abused contrary to nature. Αρσενοκοιται comes from αρσεν (a male) and κοιτε (a bed), and means a man who lies in bed with another male—a homosexual, a Sodomite, one who defiles himself with men.

The old English term found in the 1560 and 1599 Geneva Bibles was "buggerer," derived from the Anglo-Norman "bougre," a term originally used to describe anal intercourse by a man with another man and anal intercourse between a man and a woman. As I have always said, a man who has anal intercourse with a woman is severely messed up in the head and acting out homosexual-like tendencies. Any woman who would let a man degrade her like this and do this to her (and perversely enjoy it) is severely messed up in the head, too. Anal intercourse is a disgusting and degrading abominable practice! Both these terms, μαλακοι and αρσενοκοιται, refer to the active and passive partners in homosexuality. Before you go thinking that women are somehow off the hook: "Their women exchanged the natural function for that which is against nature, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their sin" (Romans 1:26-27). Their due penalty is the contracted diseases they receive from their abominable acts, which cut their lifespan down to half to one-third that of a heterosexual male.

Like every other sin, homosexuality needs to be confessed and repented of. "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3, 5). You cannot call yourself a "Christian" and yet continue living in this perverted practice. "Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness" (2 Timothy 2:19). Individuals like Ray Boltz and Jennifer Knapp are false converts. They are not genuine Christians. The fact that they are living in homosexual sin and think God is okay with it, when His Word clearly states otherwise, is proof positive they do not and have never known God. Those who support homosexuality know for a fact that they are suppressing the truth of its perversion. They know for a fact that it is contrary to nature, as we discussed above. Yet, despite how much they know that it is not a permissible "life" style, they still approve of it, like Romans 1:32 said. Homosexuality needs to go, before it destroys our world as it did the Roman world. The open practice and acceptance of homosexuality was one of the last events that resulted in God's judgment coming upon the Roman Empire. Do we really want to see that happen in our own countries? Romans 1 pretty much tells us that that is the pattern.

Here are two testimonies of men who used to be homosexuals until they were saved from it by Christ Jesus: Freedom from Homosexuality; Jesus Christ Saved Me from 27 Years of Homosexuality (see also Is Someone Born a Homosexual?).
