Gay and Christian?

[Kermos]

Can you be gay and Christian? How we answer that question has a lot to do with our definition of terms. Does “gay” simply mean having same-sex attractions? Does it mean practicing homosexuality romantically and sexually? Does it mean having a “gay” identity? And what about “Christian”? Does it mean going to a Christian church? Being born into a Christian family? Being a true follower of Jesus?

As a committed follower of Jesus and I believe that the Scriptures, which reflect God’s heart and will, forbid homosexual practice. Perhaps you’re concerned with the pervasive effects of gay activism in our culture, and you are convinced that they are a real threat to our freedoms of speech, conscience, and religion.


Then you have the “gay Christian” argument: Love is the fulfillment of the Law and does no harm to its neighbor. But the church’s teaching that homosexual practice is sin has done tremendous harm to many fine LGBT people and is therefore not loving. If we are to love our neighbor as our self, then we must affirm our LGBT brothers and sisters.

The biblical answer: While it is true that many “gay Christians” have been wounded by the church, and while the church has often failed miserably in reaching out with compassion to LGBT people, the greatest possible expression of love is to tell people God’s truth, knowing that His ways are best.

In His awesome foreknowledge, Lord Jesus Christ predestined me to witness of Christ to a homosexual. Almighty God opened her heart to His Sovereignty with true love and her depravity with lust, and she moved out of her girlfriend's bedroom.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God (1 John 5:1).

When the Lord God Almighty converts an unbeliever into a believer (Matthew 18:3), then such a one is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) with desires under the loving control of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:14).

To God be the glory forever and ever!

p.s. BUT THIS WILL STICK IN YOUR MIND ALWAYS. Genesis 19:9 "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."

"deal worse" WILL STAY IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND ALWAYS.

Jesus teaches that all sexual acts outside of marriage defile us, and He stated emphatically that marriage as God intended referred to the lifelong union of one man and one woman.

Jesus was a first-century Jewish rabbi teaching His fellow Jews, and in first-century Jewish culture homosexual practice was explicitly prohibited and forbidden. In fact, ancient Jewish texts from the last centuries BC and the first centuries have some very negative things to say about homosexual practice and not one single positive thing to say.

He didn’t have to condemn it any more than He had to condemn sins like bestiality, since every God-fearing Jew in the nation knew these things were wrong according to God’s holy Torah teaching.

“Itching ears” is a figure of speech that refers to people’s desires, felt needs, or wants. It is these desires that impel a person to believe whatever he wants to believe rather than the actual truth itself.

When people have “itching ears,” they decide for themselves what is right or wrong, and they seek out others to support their notions. “Itching ears” are concerned with what feels good or comfortable, not with the truth—after all, truth is often uncomfortable. Paul’s warning is that the church would one day contain those who only opened their ears to those who would scratch their “itch.”

Looks like the day is here.

My mother would play 'Bingo' at her church and you shout it out if you have won(i never went with her).

i just now looked up the definition of 'bingo' and found out that it related to gambling which i am not part of.

So, i will not use that expression anymore, even though it was harmless.

My use of 'BINGO' was slang for 'CORRECT' so from now on i will use 'CORRECT' and i apologize if anyone was offended by it.
