                                 Homosexuality, Right or Wrong?

Genesis chapter 13 verse13:-   13 Now the men of Sodʹom were wicked, gross sinners against Jehovah.

I am fully aware that this subject is a very emotional and difficult subject for many, but there is still a need to examine this practise through a true Christian perspective and with respect not through hatred or homophobic thinking! But I urge you to read   Genesis chapter 19   to help you se the whole picture of what happened and it's consequences!

                                                                   Here are The Facts!

A baby is not born with sexual desires, they develop them as they reach puberty and mature through their experiences in life. All of us are born with the tendency to do what is wrong, to follow our own thinking and desires, for example: A child may see a certain toy in a shop when with it's mother, and almost immediately the child will desire that toy and will make this desire known to it's mother even throwing a tantrum and screaming fit in an attempt to make the parent buy the toy for them, the desire has taken over! Please note that the child was not born with the desire for that toy.

If we as young people dwell on a course of action for long enough, we can and probably will end up doing it, but we must then suffer the consequences of our action whether good or bad, and the probability that continuing to practise this action can become an addictive way of life! Please note that no one made you choose to follow this course it was entirely your choice!

                                                                   I made a Choice!

I married my wife many years ago, and I still and always will love her, but less than one year into our marriage my wife developed a serious illness that led to her not being able to have sex! Now 40 years later we are still together and still in love, and despite the fact that I have not had sex for all of that time, I have never been unfaithful, love of my wife and fear of displeasing my God plus self control has enabled me to lead a happy life with the woman I love!

I think this illustrates the fact that doing what is right in God's eyes is a choice, and even though that choice may be difficult, it is entirely up to you to correct your way of thinking and your wrong actions. If you choose not to change then that choice is your own and so are the consequences of that choice!

1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 18:-  18 Flee from sexual immorality! Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body, but whoever practises sexual immorality is sinning against his own body

Sexual immorality, or the practise of any sort of sex that is wrong in God's eyes must be avoided at all costs, because to continue doing these things will eventually bring God's judgement against you, and he will reject you and you will loose out on everlasting life!

Colossians chapter 3 verse 5:-   5 Deaden, therefore, your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion, hurtful desire, and greediness, which is idolatry

                                                             Jehovah is the Judge!

Whether you commit adultery, or practise homosexuality whether male or female, or practise sexual relations with someone who is not your wife or husband, you put yourself in opposition to God, and he will without fail judge you in the same way as he judges everyone! However, a persons sexual orientations are to be examined by Jehovah and not by us! We are expected to show the same Christian love for everyone with no hypocrisy and give everyone the honour God demands of us, because we are not the judges of anyone!

1 Peter chapter 2 verse 17:-   17 Honor men of all sorts, have love for the whole association of brothers, be in fear of God, honour the king.

                                                              Please Remember!

James chapter 4 verse 17:-   17 Therefore, if someone knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him.

In Conclusion:   Most people would agree that to commit adultery is a wrong practise, and realise that the harm caused to your married partner can be devastating, the practise of homosexuality causes a similar rift between the practiser and the creator of man and woman, to continue practising either destroys our relationship with our heavenly father Jehovah which can only be restored by ending the sinful practise permanently, and repenting through prayer for forgiveness of sins! Please note that you made yourself practise this sinful course, the acceptance of homosexuality as normal and a so called alternative way of life by anyone, even if you yourselves do not practice it, puts you also in opposition to God , because if anything is a course of Sin, God will reject the person practicing it as well as the person who thinks it is an acceptable way of life!  God did not make you this way!

We as true Christians show the same respect to a homosexual as we would show to any other person, and would willingly help any who are fighting to give up this practice by teaching them through the Bible to have the strength to win the fight and serve Jehovah with spirit and truth!
