I very much appreciate TheMeader for putting together these questions and being wiling to sit down with me and have a discussion. It's extremely important to challenge what you believe in a productive manor and that is exactly what TheMeader was willing to do for me here. I pray that everyone is able to see that my views come from a loving place that desires people to flourish in this life and the next. Below are some scriptures for Biblical reference. • • 1 Corinthians 6:8-11 • But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers! Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. • Note: some translations do not directly say homosexual but it is a valid translation. the original word is malakos - (mal-ak-os') • Def: • soft, soft to the touch • metaph. in a bad sense effeminate • of a catamite • of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man • of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness • of a male prostitute • Thoughts - Holding these acts as acceptable will not lead you to the kingdom of heaven but just because you engaged with them does not mean you are unworthy. You must repents and wash yourself in the Grace of the lord • 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 • Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. • Thoughts - The only sin we commit against our own body is sexual immorality. The Holy spirit who wishes to dwell within us does not wish to dwell in these immoralities • Hebrews 13:4-6 • Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, • “The Lord is my helper; • I will not fear; • what can man do to me?” • ----------------------------------------------------------- • more on the Sodom and Gamora Story found in the new testament • 2 Peter 2:6-10 • If he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, • Jude 1:7-8 • Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. • (the word for sexual immorality here is ἐκπορνεύω / ekporneúō (ek-porn-yoo'-o) meaning - to go whoring, give one's self over to fornication ) • 1 Corinthians 10:6-9 • Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, (speaking about Old Testament stories in general) • #christian #lgbt #deep #discussion #jesus
