Homosexuality And The Bible

It’s a fairly common scene to see homosexuals walking in public places with arms around each other. Laws are being made in favor of the homosexual lifestyle. Television channels are dedicated to pro-homosexual programs. Where has the understanding of homosexuality is an abomination gone to? Is everyone getting comfortable with this darkness that is attempting to sweep this land of all righteousness?

God’s Word says this about homosexuality:

Leviticus 18:22 – Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.   

Leviticus 20:13 – If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

I Corinthians 6:9-10 – Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Romans 1:26-32 – For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

It was brought to my attention this past week by my pastor, Pastor Glenn Guest, that the word “woe” in the Bible means that God is going to do something about what He is warning against. Here are just a few scriptures that contain some of His “woes” (warnings):

Isaiah 3:9-11 – The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Isaiah 5:20, 21 -Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!  Woe  unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Isaiah 30:1 – Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

Isaiah 45:9 – Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? o

Jeremiah 23:1 – Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Ezekiel 13:3 – Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Hosea 7:13 – Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

Hosea 9:12 – Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

Micaah 2:1 – Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Matthew 18:7 – Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Matthew 23:13 – But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Matthew 23:15 – Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Homosexuality is not only bringing the judgement of God upon us, as a nation, it is His judgement – the national reprobate mind!

Wake up and take a stand! The next time you meet a homosexual pair walking toward you, it should make you have the urge to throw up. It does me. At least give them a disgustful look!

    I agree with what you have to say. Homosexuality is a choice that people choose to make -the wrong choice. It is a blatant disregard for God and the way He established the world to work.

  2. Jerome Shepherd says:

    Homosexuality is another tool that Satan is using to control people’s minds. It is a choice of whether to do good or to do evil. We have a choice in every aspect of our lives. We choose evil or good. But we cannot make a choice to do good without the help of the Almighty! The word says that it’s in Him that we live, move an have our being. We can choose to do good but in the flesh we are no match for the enemy, we have to have God’s help. And I believe when we choose good over evil that God gives us the strenght, knowledge and will to overcome the earthly temptations.
