That which the Holy Bible says: The anchor for that which is from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

Some churches say it is their tradition when questioned about various topics such as divorce, remarriage, homosexuals and lesbians.  They give no scriptural basis for their belief, only saying it is a tradition of their church group.

 

Tradition will never stand but the word of God will never pass away.

 

Jesus says:  

 

Matthew 24:35   Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

 

We must build our thinking on the scriptures in the Holy Bible.

Concerning homosexuals and lesbians: That which the New Testament Bible says:

 

Romans 1

 

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

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;

In the Old Testament, men who have sex with men are called "Sodomites."

 

God said:

 

Genesis 13:13   But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

 

God sent 2 angels to destroy Sodom.  

 

(Angels do not have wings.  Angels look like natural men.)

 

Genesis 19

 

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

 

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

From every quarter of the city of Sodom homosexual men came to have sexual intercourse with the two men who had come to Lot's house.

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.  

(know them:  have sexual intercourse with them)

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

(Lot knew homosexual acts were wicked.) 

 

2 Peter 2:7-9  And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

 

Genesis 19

8 (Lot says) Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men (the 2 angels) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they (the angels) smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

(angels of God have great powers)

12 And the men (the angels) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

 

When we are asked what we think about homosexuals and lesbians, we must share the exact scripture from the New Testament and Old Testament Bible rather than give an opinion.

 

The Bible shows what God has to say and that will not change.

 

The Bible is the anchor for our belief.
