Make no mistake: promotion of homosexuality, transsexuality, and pedophilia is evil and demonic, and the Bible makes it very clear how and why these things are.
Deuteronomy 22:(5) The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
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.
Romans 1:(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
(26) 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:
(27) 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.
(28) 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;
(29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
(30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
(32) 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.
Backbiters and whisperers and full of debate?
Well there goes over half the church-going population of the US right there, including everyone on this forum.
The point being made is that God and Paul both say that homosexuals and transsexuals are under a death penalty, but these homo/trans will argue and debate that they are not under a death penalty and try to argue that God loves them just like everyone else.
And they not only argue there is no death penalty for homosexuality, but they have pleasure in getting other people to follow them into this wicked practice.
So it is not "half of the church going population, or everyone on this forum" that is under a death penalty. It is the same people that ruled Sodom and Gomorrah that are under a death penalty. And the people of Sodom and Gomorrah received exactly what God promised them.
Even if most of the people on this forum do not believe in the death penalty, God still does.
1 Cor 6:(9) 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,
(10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
If someone participates in homosexuality, just like if someone is a fornicator or an adulterer, they will not inherit the kingdom of God either now, or in the next life.
But anyone can lay down these sins, repent from their wicked ways, and Christ can heal us. Christ came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.
A fellow I used to carpool with, we would talk for an hour each way to work. He had been gay, but left it all behind for Christ and married a good woman and had two children. God healed him. God is merciful. God cares for all of us, if we will try to repent of our sinful ways.
Anyone can leave the homosexual lifestyle behind with the help of Jesus Christ. It is the ones that want to argue and debate that homosexuality is still acceptable before God, they are the ones that are lost. The same for unrighteous fornicators, adulterers, idolators, theives, and drunkards. If they want to argue that they can live these lifestyles and still enter the kingdom of God, they are wrong. Only God is right in this matter.
