First
of all, Being gay is not a homosexual
act;
it is a lifestyle. And YES, Homosexuality
IS forgivable!
Whether
homosexuals are 'born' homosexual or not, can
only be answered through the eyes and
hearts of homosexuals. If we are all
'born' heterosexual, like many religions
would like us to believe, then why would
'anybody' in their 'straight' mind,
choose to live the lifestyle of a
homosexual, any more than a homosexual
would choose to live the lifestyle of a
heterosexual. It doesn't make any sense.
And as Judge Judy proclaims time and
again, "if it doesn't make any
sense, it isn't true."
As
a pre-teen child, my mom once asked me if
I ever played with or was curious to check
out the private parts of another boy, to
see if there was any difference. Of
course I said no. She said, then I'm
afraid you're not normal, that all
'normal boys' are curious about each
other, at least once. Wanting to be
accepted as 'normal', I said yes, I did .
. . once. For some reason, many dads are
afraid to ask that question - probably
because it's threatening to their own
masculinity. Only they know.
Some
experts say that homosexuals are the
victims of a shy, sad or
fatherless childhood. If that were true,
homosexuality would be the rule instead
of the exception. Does a child even know
if he or she is a homosexual or do they
just 'feel' they are different from their
peers. Does being called a 'sissy', not
participating in sports, loving to cook
or being a tomboy, make a child a
homosexual, or do they become homosexual
because of being badgered through
intimidation or cruelty.
We
have all seen and probably know some
heterosexual men, who are married to a
woman, some with children, who live a
very flamboyant lifestyle, act gay and
are born with many 'gay' traits and
features. We have also seen and probably
know a few heterosexual females, married
to a man and some with children, who look
and act masculine. These features are
pre-assigned to each of us just like the
color of our skin, whether we're deformed
or born with 10 fingers and 10 toes.
Are they homosexual?
Maybe, maybe not. Do we judge them? No!
Anytime a male or female
acts gay, or may visually appear to be
gay (by their mannerisms, speech or known
gay idiosyncrasies), people judge them.
Unless they are 'out' and admittedly gay,
we really don't know - yet we continue to
be in judgment of them.
Any play
or variation on the word 'Homosexual'
is NOT recorded or found anywhere in the
Holy Bible.
However, many religions
have altered the Holy Book to include the
'word or words' in their versions of their
Bibles. The hatred for homosexuals, as
spewed from the venomous tongues of our
many prominent religious leaders who
claim to be Christian, is in itself, an
abomination. Judgment begins at the
pulpit; meaning God will judge the
shepherd, first. Woe to those with
hateful hearts.
Many Christian leaders have
judged gay men and woman, not allowing
them to worship in their churches,
proclaiming they are destined for hell.
God hates the act of someone judging
another when they have sins of their own.
(Matt 7:1-2 KJV says: Judge not, that ye
be not judged. For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you again.
If your
place of worship teaches hatred toward
homosexuals, shake the dust off your
shoes and immediately leave that church .
. .
for it is NOT a church of God.
Matt 7:6 KJV says: Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet,
and turn again and rend you. And 2John
1:10-11 KJV says: If there come any unto
you, and bring not this doctrine, receive
him not into [your] house, neither bid
him God speed: For he that biddeth him
God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
God loves
us all - He just doesn't like what we do.
If you know the 10
Commandments, you know homosexuality is
not listed as one of the 10 commandments,
but adultery is. Think about that for a
minute - this act is called fornication,
which is voluntary sexual intercourse
between persons not married to each
other. Adultery leads to divorce.
Homosexuals can not have intercourse with
each other, only heterosexuals can
disobey this commandment. Homosexual
sodomy, is another issue.
The homosexual act is that
of sodomy - meaning a man should not
engage in a sexual role as a woman. The
same is for a woman engaging in the
sexual role of a man. However, it appears
(today) sexual acts between men
and woman are nothing more than
mere sodomy.
When I think of
homosexuality, I immediately think of the
Catholic Church and all the homosexual
priests. What I don't understand is why
the church condones the homosexual
priest's behavior and yet they condemn
non-priest homosexuals. The church has it
both ways. Any church that makes things
up as it goes along, is not a church of
God, but a cult. One either believes in
the teachings of the church or the
teachings of Christ; we can't have it
both ways.
The U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops released a report on the
rate of child molestations committed by
priests since 1950 to 2002. Also during
this time, 4,392 priests were allegedly
involved in homosexual acts with
children. Those were just the priest who
got caught.
The Catholic Church has
since paid more than $572 million dollars
in lawsuits and for counseling the
homosexual priests, only to end up
transferring the homosexual priests to
churches in other towns and cities, to
commit the same homosexual crimes against
the young.
And where did the Catholic
Church get all these millions of dollars
to pay these lawsuits - not from the
Vatican, not from the homosexual priests
and surely not from the Pope, but from
parishioner's tithing!
. . . That Is Called
Theft! It's Thievery of God's Money!
Heterosexual acts, today,
are equal to that of homosexuality.
Teens, as well as many adults, are now
practicing sodomy as a "safe
sex" technique. Where are the
parents, the schools and the church
leaders - and where is the outrage, when
so many heterosexual men and women
practice sodomy.
People who condemn
homosexuality, but practice sodomy, are
practicing the same type of sex as
homosexuals. And because they are
Biblically illiterate, uninformed and
lack the knowledge of truth, they 'think'
it's OK.
Heterosexuals should know,
what they do is not OK! And, that when
they do, they are breaking 2 of God's 10
commandments; the 7th, "Thou shall
not commit adultery"and 9, "You
shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor."
Sodomy, no matter who is
involved, is unnatural and Biblically
wrong. When a heterosexual judges a
homosexual, he or she is a pure
unadulterated hypocrite.
Judgment
Belongs To GOD, Not Man!
The GOOD NEWS is: If you believe in Jesus
Christ, the son of God, then you shall be
saved, no matter who you are, what you
do, or whether you are gay or straight.
Jesus came to forgive us ALL and gave us
ALL a path out of our darkness; he came
to save the world, not to condemn it.
In John 3:16-18,
Jesus made us this promise to us all,
when he said:
(John 3:16 KJV
-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."
John 3:17 KJV - For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be
saved.
John 3:18 KJV -He that believeth on him
is not condemned: but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
The BEST
News Is . . .
There Is Only ONE
*Unforgivable Sin . . .
and Homosexuality Is NOT
It!
If you are a homosexual,
never let any man, woman, clergy, church
or religion drive you away from God, with
their hatred and bigotry - God will
indeed judge them for what they do.
Never forget,
you are a child of God, the same as
'they' are God's children. We all
sin and we will always sin, as long as we
breathe air. Christ is our savior and He
WILL forgive us; that's the beauty of his
promise. Remember also, that there is
only one "good" and that's our
father in heaven.
You are important and very
special; you are gifted and you are
surely loved. So stand tall, hold your
head high, live a good life, be
charitable to others and trust in HIM.
You'll be just fine.
