I Cor 6
Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
sorry to spoil the party guys but this is total nonsense. God really does judge you the moment you declare that your sin is not sin. In the beginning God created them male and female for the purpose of procreation. Do not be deceived. We all struggle with sin but we are to keep on struggling until we overcome. My struggle with anger or pornography is no less a struggle than InNeeds struggle with same sex attraction....but I can never say that God made me that way and nor can you. We need to repent and turn again to Christ daily taking seriously his warnings and seeking the fellowship of the saints; we need to persevere and not give up. Homosexual marriage is a playing out of Romans 1. It is the sign of a society coming under severe and terminal judgement.
Well maybe you missed my post I don't know, but I have prayed to God to change me since I was 12. I am 18 now. That is 6 years. Why have I not changed even the slightest bit over these 6 years? Why if homosexuality is such a sin would he let me float in it and then to only let me sink and drown? Why has God not saved me from this sin if He hates it so much? Am I
not worthy enough to be saved? Does God really
hate me? Why do I have to end up like this? My
parents will hate me if they know this about me. How could they love an
abomination?
Do I deserve to live? Do you not realize what thoughts like these can do to a child who is only 12? I really don't think you do. Do you realize that suicide is much much higher in teens who are gay. I would like to say that I have had these thoughts at some point. I have thought about how life would be better if I had not been born into my family. My parents don't need a gay child. It would only crush them as they are Bible believing Christians.
However, at this point in my life I have came to the conclusion that me not being here is not the answer. Everyone is here for a reason no matter how big or small that reason is so I have decided as I said in my post that since I am not changing in the slightest bit that I will praise God no matter what. If He accepts me into Heaven that is His choice, if he sends me to Hell that is also his choice. I would prefer the first, but it is all up to Him.
Also, did God really create Adam and Eve to procreate? To my knowledge they had no procreation until after the garden. Wouldn't it seem kind of funny to have the garden start filling up with people? I mean honestly, think about it for a second. Noah lived until he was like 900 I think. That is freaking old so I don't think procreation was the first thing on their mind. Lets look at a verse...
Genesis 2:18 (NKJV)
18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
All that says is he made Eve so Adam would not have to be alone. Not one thing about procreation and if you want to expand out on it a little more none of the surrounding verses say anything about procreation. While we are on the subject of procreation if that was God's original intent for all of mankind then what about the people who physically can not father or mother a child? From your understanding of this one point they need to repent of not being able to have babies? Is not having a child a sin?
How is a loving relationship the playing out of Romans 1? If you are directly referring to Romans 1:26-27 that refers to lustful acts not loving committed relationships. How do you equate the two? Also if I have never been attracted to a woman in my life, which I haven't(no offense ladies I just find your woman areas unappealing) then how would it be unnatural for me to be with a man(which I have never been with a guy). Wouldn't me going against my attractions to please society be unnatural. Also if God creates everything what do you say to the animals who are gay. Some of the gay ones even mate for life. God created them didn't He? I don't see how you could say He didn't. It is the same basic concept.
Also I would like to thank you TheGrungeDiva and RickyZ, you were/are both very nice.
