Life is too short and eternity is too long to risk eternity.
How do you share with a homosexuals and lesbians that God loves them but hate that sin? God hates all sin. But He does love the sinner.
Sexual sins in particular I think mess with not just your body but also with your spirit. Just think about it. When a man and woman, I would rather say husband and wife love on each other and the wife conceives you don't just have a baby you also have a new spirit is created inside that womb. so sexual act is not just physical but also spiritual. Something is happening when the two people get together and engage in the act of sex.
I know that many people who are homosexuals and lesbians say I was born this way so God must have wanted me to be that way. But my friend we are all born with a sinful nature. No one had to teach me how to lie or steal, I was born with natural ability to sin. But that does not make it OK for me to live a life of sin. If you're a homosexual or lesbian reading this please know that God wants to help you and set you free from this lifestyle. Life is too short and eternity is too long to not take this seriously.
We know you do not win people to the Lord by condemning them and calling them names. This is why God says to speak with wisdom, grace, and love. Let the love of Christ flow through you so that the homosexuals can see true love and turn to Christ instead of away from Him.
We must compell them to come to Jesus Christ. Yes homosexuality is a sin but like all sinners God is calling them to repentance. Only Christ can change the heart. If you're a homosexual and are struglling with this sin you can be set free today.
Please pray this prayer: Father I come to you because I know I need you, I need your help. I ask you to help me and forgive me of the life style that I have been given and I realise that without you my life has no meaning. I ask you in the name of your son Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins, to forgive me and wash me clean. I know life is too short for me to live for me and eternity is too long for me to live for me. I want to live for you. I give you my spirit, soul and body and ask you to wash me clean. Thank you for loving me despite of me. I need you and I want my life to have a meaning. so take me and use me for your glory. I love you Father and I want to live for you from this day forward. I realise that the penalty that Jesus Christ paid on the cross included me and because He didn't stay in the grave but rose again that I too will live. I thank you right now. By faith in your word and faith in Your Son Jesus Christ I receive you as not just my savior but also my Lord. From this day forward I belong to you. No looking back, No regrets, I put my life of homosexuality behind and follow after you. I love you Father. I ask this all in the Name of Jesus Christ my savior and Lord. Amen.
Scriptures that you need to consider to help you my friend:
Also some argument that people use to try to justify that king
homosexuality as a sin. Let's look at what the Word of God says.
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,1 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Rom. 1:26-28, "For 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."
With such clear statements against homosexuality, it is difficult to see how different groups can say the Bible supports homosexuality. But they try by redefining love, marriage, sex, homosexuality, etc. in order to accomplish their goal. But the truth is that God created man and woman, not man and man, or woman and woman. Nevertheless, the Bible is a powerful book, and because it is the homosexuals often try and make the Bible agree with its agenda. But it doesn't work. The Bible does not support homosexuality as we have seen from the scriptures above.
Unlike other sins, this sexual sin has a judgment administered by God Himself: He gives them over to their passions (Rom. 1:26-28). This means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins. As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance. Without repentance, there will be no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.
Finally, with their hardened hearts, they seek to promote their lifestyle in society. This is become more real since homosexuals are gaining strength and forcing those with opposing views into confinement and penalty. So much for fairness. It is okay to demand it for themselves, but they balk at allowing it for those who disagree.
Should homosexuals be allowed to marry one another?
In this politically correct climate that relinquishes morality to the relativistic whims of society, stating that homosexuals should not marry is becoming unpopular. Should a woman be allowed to marry another woman? Should a man be allowed to marry another man? Should they be given legal protection and special rights to practice their homosexuality? No, they should not.
The Bible, of course, condemns homosexuality. It takes no leap of logic to discern that homosexual marriage is also condemned. But our society does not rely on the Bible for its moral truth. Instead, it relies on a humanistic and relativistic moral base upon which it builds its ethical structure.
Homosexuality is not natural. Just look at the male and female bodies. They are obviously designed to couple. The natural design is apparent. It is not natural to couple male with male and female with female. It would be like trying to fit two screws together and to nuts together and then say, "See, its natural for them to go together."
Homosexuals argue that homosexuality is natural since it occurs in the animal world. But this is problematic. It is true that this behavior occurs in the animal kingdom. But, it is also true that we see animals eating their prey alive. We see savagery, cruelty, and extreme brutality. Yet, we do not condone such behavior in our own society. Proponents of the natural order argument as a basis for homosexuality should not pick-and-choose the situations that best fit their agendas. They should be consistent and not compare us to animals. We are not animals. We are made in God's image. Logic says that if homosexuality is natural and acceptable because it exists in the animal world, then it must also be natural and acceptable to eat people alive. But, this is obviously faulty thinking. Therefore, appeal to the practice in the animal world as support for homosexual practice is equally faulty.
Political protection of a sexual practice is ludicrous. I do not believe it is proper to pass laws stating that homosexuals have 'rights.' What about pedophilia or bestiality? These are sexual practices. Should they also be protected by law? If homosexuality is protected by law, why not those as well?
Of course, these brief paragraphs can in no way exhaust the issue of homosexuality's moral equity. But, the family is the basis of our culture. It is the most basic unit. Destroy it and you destroy society and homosexuality is not helping the family.
What should be the Christian's Response to the Homosexual?
Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross and repented of.
I pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same they would any other person in sin. We should treat homosexuals with the same dignity as they would anyone else because, like or not, they are made in the image of God. However, this does not mean that as Christians we should approve of the sin. Not at all. We as Christians should not compromise our witness for a politically correct opinion that is shaped by guilt and fear.
