Discipleship

Homosexuality

The biggest problem people have with christianity is the it demands high morality and holiness and that it is exclusive and not inclusive


Homosexuality

The biggest ‘problem’ with ‘Christianity *’ is that it is a religion * that demands high morality * and holiness*. homosTherefore most people do not reject ‘real Christianity’ because it does not make ‘logical sense’ (for there is enough prove to win a thousand court cases), but because they realize that if they acknowledge the truth, they carry responsibility to obey it.

 * Christianity/religion –meaning not a form of religion but a heart felt relationship with God Himself.

 * Morality- meaning not a subjective morality as prescribed by human laws and or     traditions but a set out standards of living prescribed by God and/or the bible.

 * Holiness- as prescribed by God and the Bible.

 Coming back to homosexuality

I believe God loves all sinners - Homosexuals included, and we are to love them aswell. God's heart is to see these people set free from this trap. This teaching is not to condem but to release. The homosexual must understand that Jesus has paid for ALL his sins on the cross. When he turns to Christ he is a 'new man'.

One of the biggest core problems with homosexuality is the denying of guilt. It seems OK to say 'I am gay and proud' but you don't see people walking around saying 'I am a adulterer and proud about it'

The core problem then for alot of people is the denying that homosexuality is a sin. Since there is no admission of guilt there is not forgiveness for sins...

Here are some general points to ponder...

From the viewpoint of the bible, it is plainly wrong. Read Romans 1. Sodom and Gomorra were also destroyed because of their sin and homosexuality.

 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, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Now the bible doesn’t say that homosexuals go to hell, it say.’all the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murders, the sexually immoral, those who practise magic arts, the idolaters, and all the lairs—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulphur’.

(Rev 21:8) also read Galatians 5:19-22.

 This verse clearly includes all of us.

 There are tree basic reasons why people are homosexuals. A person needs only one of them. To become homosexual, or can have all tree. Although all these subjects are incredible complex, I will try to over simplify it.

 The first reason:  The Root: The Spiritually.

 This part I’ll discuss first because it is the hardest to understand. If you don’t believe this part don’t bother reading on. Anything that happens originates in the spiritual.

A person can have a sexual immoral, impure, unclean, or homosexual or lesbian spirit operating on his or her life. This is a demonic spirit. This spirit ‘inclines’ and influence a person to ‘think, act, speak’ in an immoral way. This person can often have sexual dreams or nightmares, and can even wake up still feeling ‘something’ is still ‘with’ them or sexually arousing them.

This spirit prescribes sexual fantasies and experiences, and will often a track other people that have the same spirit.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (EPHES 6:12) 

Note: This spirit will keep a person from having healthy relationships, and once a person is married, it destroys the relationship. It also takes away the ‘natural attraction’ for the opposite sex.

This is the reason why people say ‘ I was born a homosexual’ –they are right: They were born a homosexual but not created one. They were born with a spirit, they got it through ‘the bloodline’ from their parents. The spirit may also be obtained through sexual premarital relationships, or going into gay bars etc. A person may even have a gay spirit laying dormant in him/her and not know it. The person may not even be gay, and have never been involved in gay activities. All gay people will have this spirit operating in their lives – if they realize it or not.

So often it happens that a sincere gay person want to be free from the bondage they go for psychological counseling, prayer, etc. What they don’t realize is that if they not deal with the spirit, the root they have not dealt with the real problem.

The Second reason: The Tree: The Psycho-sociological.

Different people have different personalities. If a man has a more ‘feminine’ type personality or interest, it does not mean he is homosexual. The problem comes with our culture which says, if a man does not like sports, cars and ‘manly’ things he is probably gay, especially if the person is sensitive, gentle, slender built and likes to do the things woman likes. The culture treads and communicates this to the person and the person acts on the way the culture sees him/her.

The other main influence is a person’s parent. Example: Absent fathers. Men that associate themselves with their mothers. This is called ‘roll-reversal’.

The third influence is friends. To be ‘in’ people will expose themselves to many wrong influences.

Media are also guilty of promoting homosexuality and saying it is all right and with God it is admitable.

All of these influences form a ‘greenhouse’ effect that promotes and causes homosexual thoughts and tendencies. Off cause the demonic spirit world uses it also to their advantage.

The Third reason: The Branches:  The mind

All these aspects work into a persons mind convincing him/her that he/she is unchangeable gay. Even if a person does not want to be involved in it, he/she gets caught up in it and can’t get out of it.

This produces the sinful fruit is homosexuality.

The story does not end here; people will go on to deeper perversities.

Isaiah 61:1-3 Says that Jesus came to:

  1. Bring the good news –You can go to heaven. If you acknowledge you sin, trust and believe that Jesus took your sin on him on the cross, repent of your sin and ask Jesus into you heart, to be the Saviour and Lord of your life.
  2. He came to ‘heal the broken hearted’ - heal you of all your ‘green house elements’
  3. He also came to set the captives free – this falls under the ‘deliverance ministry’

And should not be confused with ‘exorcism’ Yes, Jesus came to set people free so that they can be free. Free in abundance. John 10:10.

And  this is the gospel.

It is not an ‘easy’ way out or an ‘easy’ solution, and a person may need intense counselling and deliverance. And a miracle. Yet I know of wonderful happily married people today.

God is still in the miracle business.
