Now, I know that I'm gonna loose some folk on this one, but here it goes....
From TV to magazines and even politics, today’s society has become saturated with voices of personal opinions, thoughts, and ideas on human sexuality, gender identity, and the right to decide who they are attracted to. Read your Bible! LGBTQ is not new. Genesis 19 tells the story of two cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed by God because of ramped homosexuality.
God has not changed His mind! The Bible declares that men will become lovers of themselves, without self-control, and without natural affections (of such turn away). Women having sex with women and men having sex with men are sinful acts. Such behavior is against God’s plan, purpose, and design. While we all have rights (freedom to make our own choices), God has standards that are very clear and specific. Allowing ourselves to deviate away from God’s standards, in any form, is contrary to the will of God. Know that temporary pleasures (outside of God’s plan), are sure to have devastating consequences.
While we are commanded to love and respect the person, we must also agree with God's perspective. Let's not utilize the cloak of diversity to separate us from biblical principles. Just because society has eliminated God's standard doesn't mean God approves and neither should we. In the words of Mark 8:36, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
Here is the bright side....God forgives!
Challenge:
- Read your Bible
- Love and respect all people
- Agree with God
