Yes, homosexuality is an immoral behavior.
The most important imagery for homosexual acts in the Bible is the language in Romans 1 of "exchanging" God’s purposes and of God letting go.
While references to homosexual acts are limited in Scripture, they become a powerful image for those who in their blindness have given up God’s good gift of healthy sexuality and have exchanged it for something degrading and unnatural.
Homosexual acts become a symbol in Scripture for violating a basic principle of holiness: mixing that which the Lord declared should be separate.
Understand that the Roman verses contain one of the very earliest combined condemnations of female and male homosexuality alike. Only two earlier texts make the link (Plato Laws I.636c; Pseud.-Phoc. Sentences 191–92). The fact that both female and male homosexuality along with pedastry are condemned, makes the scriptural statement generic.
In Romans 1 Paul condemns homosexual acts, lesbian as well as male, in the same breath as idolatry (vv. 23–27), but his theological canvas is broader than that of Leviticus. Instead of treating homosexual behaviour as an expression of idolatrous worship, he traces both to the bad ‘exchange’ fallen man has made in departing from his Creator’s intention (vv. 25f.).
Seen from this angle, every homosexual act is unnatural (para physin, v. 26), not because it cuts across the individual’s natural sexual orientation (which, of course, it may not) or infringes Old Testament law (which it does), but because it flies in the face of God’s creation scheme for human sexual expression.
It is one thing to repent and become a Christian in recovery/sanctification struggling with sin issues in their life. This is the condition many Christians find themselves in. Perhaps all, to some extent. These are born-again and have aligned themselves with God in truth.
It is entirely another thing to justify one's sin as normal and refuse to repent of it and align with ungodliness in rebellion to God twisting His Word to "justify" it.
Liberal post revisionists and homosexuals have falsely reinterpreted scripture to support their immoral behavior. If you run into this Koreo1935, and have questions about it, feel free to message me and I'll untwist it for you and reveal their errors. Peace.
Excellent Post!!!
Yes it is wrong, it's sexual immorality!
Is whore mongering, adultery, Homosexuality wrong;
in God's EYES in His Creation?
What sort of darkness has seeped into the teaching of what is taught to be the mind of Christ;
in the preaching of the Gospel that sexual immorality does not need to be washed in the Blood?
There is no human being alive who has lived any length of age,
who has not had to deal with this sin, of sexual immorality in some form.
We are fallen sexual beings!
When people in the Church or the world stop being condemned in their conscience,
of sexual immorality, something bad is well on it's way. I have heard in these cc forum's the condemning of the preaching of this 1st ch of Romans in condemning this form of sexual immorality!
As if it were not a New Testament Document at all?!
What are you going to do some morning, in the not to distant future,
if you wake up to find world wide millions, maybe up to a billion people, are dead?
...God will not be mocked, what so ever a man soweth, that will he also reap.....
And the stench of death you cannot get out of your nose?
If God rains down in the Spirit world fire and brimstone,
and destroys the homosexuals and those who support them?
Man, the Church, or the World cannot stop what has been unleashed upon this planet!
It is not the actual act but the defiance against God, and it's reaching out to have what is Holy to God!
What did Abraham do in Lots situation?, the same as most people today who truly know God;
he plead with God, over and over again and again! Who did God Himself go to in that hour? Abraham!
Who is God coming to today? Abraham! The Church is trying every way to defend them to God,
but God is saying there are not as many righteous people in this thing as you are saying.
No sooner does a Community or State, votes down a gay rights marriage, or the such, by a vote of the people!
A judge or an Obama stooge steps in and over turns a vote of the people!
They are playing on the emotions of a sexually created people who are all sinners!
Give the Devil his due, this is genius!
So, if Sodom is a type of something bigger than itself,
and Abraham was the Father of many nations, who now cover the entire Globe of the earth. some 4000 yrs later.
(Which has now been manifested in this symbolism)
There is no where in the world to run and hide from this sin or the fire that would purge it.
Do you not believe that this would get the attention of the entire world, immediately!
People would fill the streets of the world, fall down on their faces and weep,
and cry out to God in Jesus Name to forgive them!
And completely shut down the world, for who know how long.
The Angel's that went to Sodom, represented in type and shadow, of that which was Holy to God!
These creatures today are trying to creep into that which is Holy to God, world wide!
There is nothing Sacred any longer, and God will stop it, He will not be mocked!
This is nothing I've made up, but I am asking you this question?
Do you not believe that God is not going to fulfill His yet unfulfilled prophecies?
Sodom was a lawless place and sexual immorality was what brought God to visit Abraham?
God's Word says Lot was a righteous man, and God sent what was Holy to Him, to save Lot!
just some thoughts
