When Christians Struggle to Respond Supporting traditional marriage, and answering the homosexual agenda.
Romans 1:25-28 (NASB) For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
Don’t let the social engineers of our culture distract you with their spin, homosexuality is a perversion.
Leviticus 18:22 (ESV) You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. • Leviticus 20:13 (ESV)If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
2. Don’t buy the line, “…born that way.” Homosexuality is a behavioralchoice.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (ESV) 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, 10…will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And 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.
3. Don’t believe the lie that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was a lack of hospitality. God destroyed these cities because of their idolatrous sexual perversion.
Genesis 19:4-8 (ESV) But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. 5And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” … 8Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”
4. The biggest lie of the homosexual agenda is that Christ Jesus never spoke against homosexuality, therefore He would have supported their movement based on love.
Matthew 19:4-6 (ESV)He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Mark Christopher • Same Sex Marriage: Is It Really the Same? • “Same sex marriage is not about marriage, it is about destroying the traditionally Christian idea of the family.”
From the ACLU policy guide • “The ACLU believes that criminal and civil laws prohibiting or penalizing the practice of plural marriage violate constitutional protections for freedom of expression and association, freedom of religion, and privacy for personal relationships among consenting adults.”
Homosexual author Andrew Sullivan • “… homosexual commitment in a marriage is much broader than what nearly all heterosexual couples will tolerate. Homosexuals have a need for extramarital outlets, therefore same-sex marriage will make adultery more acceptable for all married couples”
Eugene Volokh, UCLA law professor • “The gay rights movement has long involved three related goals. One has to do with liberty from government repression – freedom from sodomy prosecutions … A second has to do with equal treatment by the government: The movement to recognize same-sex marriages is the most prominent recent example. A third has to do with delegitimizing and legally punishing private behavior that discriminates against or condemns homosexuals.”
Marshall Kirk & Hunter Madsen • “The Overhauling of Straight America” • … how the gay establishment plans to change American attitudes about homosexuality.
“First, homosexuals should talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible. … ‘Almost all behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters …’” • Also, “get more people with power, wealth and name recognition involved in activism.”
“Portray gays as victims, not aggressive challengers.” • “We intend to make anti-gays look so nasty that average Americans will want to dissociate themselves from such types.”
