Scripture Condemns Homosexual Acts:
Regarding “Homosexual weddings are a wonderful thing,” have you ever noticed when people disagree with a well-established religious belief, they paint Christians in opposition as narrow-minded rubes who just fell off the turnip truck?
They claim the Bible too antiquated to be relevant for modern man. The letter writer call believers ignorant, prejudiced, and brainwashed; he then proceeded to misinterpret Scripture.
I have no business judging another man’s sexual activity. Lord knows I have had enough romantic misadventures of my own. But sinner to sinner I am compelled to speak. If he thinks God does not condemn homosexual acts his understanding of Scripture is flawed.
In the book of Leviticus, God spoke these words to Moses, “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” (18:22) You don’t need to be a Greek scholar to understand that. With His very next breath God forbids bestiality. (18:23) How long before men start defending that perversion?
Contrary to the writer’s assertion, the word of God often speaks about homosexuality, and never in a positive light.
“Claiming to be wise they became fools… degrading their bodies with one another.” (Romans 1:22 and 24)
Claiming maturity they live as immature. Take a cursory survey of television sitcoms on any given night and you will see how embarrassingly immature our society is in regards to sex. Claiming freedom they live in bondage to sin.
Obedience to the probationary clauses in the Bible; the “Thou shall,” and the “Thou shall not,” is what lifts men above barnyard animals.
The homosexual whining like a spoiled child asking “why not?” And God like an exasperated parent answering “because I said so!” That should be all the reason you need.
