IS SAME SEX MARRIAGE BIBLICAL?

You do not have to be what some call being a “fanatical Christian” to notice the rise in the news of today on the subject of same sex marriage and homosexuality or gay rights. So what is going on in the world today? Why is does the world call it discrimination when a person does not share the same opinions about same sex marriage or the homosexual lifestyle? What happened to our constitutional right to freedom of speech? Why is it”politically incorrect to speak out opposing homosexuality and same sex marriage?

It seems that even in some churches that Homosexuality is becoming more and more excepted. And even if you type in a the question such as “Is sodomy a sin?” in order to get a “BIBLICAL” understanding of what is going on in the world today of what seems to be a society having an attitude of anything goes when it comes to sexual pleasure you will find many websites that use verses from the Bible to falsely teach that sodomy or anal sex between a heterosexual man and a woman is Biblical, but I assure all of my readers, who are seeking the TRUTH, that these kinds of websites are the BLIND leading the blind down the broad road that leads to destruction and the wrath of Almighty God by trying to excuse their own sin.

Now the purpose of this study in God's word is to give LIGHT and understanding to those who are seeking the TRUTH. The very title of this study is asking the question of whether or not that marriage between two people of the SAME sex is BIBLICAL and is NOT dealing with whether or not that marriage between two or more people of the same sex is “LEGAL” in the eyes of MAN. This study is not about whether a person has the right to CHOOSE whatever lifestyle they want to live because even Almighty God has given us ALL a free will to choose how we want to live. No this study in God's word addresses only the issues that affect YOU in the the eyes of your creator Almighty God, who while he gave us all free will to choose, he desires greatly that we all choose HIS will for our life so that we can obtain eternal life in the world to come. Please read Deuteronomy 30:14-20 which clearly teaches us that God has given us all a free will to choose what ever life we want to live, but depending upon which life we choose will either lead us to eternal life or eternal destruction. And throughout God's word he is crying out to all humanity to choose LIFE.

“But the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.

15. See (or understand that), I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;

16. In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you may live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land whither you go to possess it.

17. BUT IF your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; (in other words, if you choose to turn away and reject this word of God imploring you to examine your heart to see if you are living a life pleasing to God and you are drawn away by the deception of the enemy to continue living in sin and serve the pleasures of sin, THEN God says that...)

18. I denounce unto you this day, that you shall SURELY PERISH, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither you pass over Jordan to go to possess it.

19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:

20. That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

So please do not misunderstand what my intention of study in God's word is written to be. My heart is for your GOOD. Now at times you some things you read my ruffle your feathers so to speak, but if you think of it this way you should certainly be able to understand my heart toward you. Think about a good parent whose child has gotten into the wrong crowd and is now using and selling drugs and the child sees nothing wrong with his or her actions. It has just become a “job” to them, and they do NOT consider the CONSEQUENCES if they get caught by the LAW. Now you on the other hand are very concerned about not only what will happen to them when they get caught, but also the harm that they are bringing upon themselves right now. So you try and WARN them of the CONSEQUENCES that they are facing and that it is only a matter of time before that day of reckoning comes knocking at their door.

My point is this, if you choose to live a life that is not according to God's will, then according to God's word you will NOT receive eternal life in the world to come, but will rather suffer the wrath of Almighty God's judgment and be destroyed in the eternal lake of fire on the day of judgment. And I assure you that if you are living a life as a homosexual, then according to the word of Almighty God your creator you are headed down the path that leads to eternal destruction. But at the same time I also assure you that if you repent of your sins and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and help you live a life that is pleasing to Almighty God that the Holy Spirit of God will lead and guide you into all truth and help you stay in the way the leads to eternal life in the world to come.

Now before we actual begin this study in God's word that clearly teaches us that homosexual relationships are an abomination in the eyes of God and is without a doubt SIN let us begin by defining a few terms so that we are all on the same page so to speak. The word “HETEROSEXUAL” as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as being characterized as an attraction between the OPPOSITE sex as in a male being attracted sexually only to a female and a female being attracted sexually only to a male.

And the term “HOMOSEXUAL” is just the opposite of the word heterosexual and is defined as being number 1. A sexual desire for others of one's own sex as in a male having sexual desire for another male or a female having sexual desires for another female. And number 2. the actual sexual activity with another of the SAME sex.

Also there is a term used by those in the world called “BI-SEXUAL”, which is defined as one being attracted to both the male and female.

The term “SODOMY” as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary is any ANAL copulation between one male with another male or any anal copulation between those of the opposite sex. In other words, any form of any anal copulation or penetration of the anal region by any means for sexual pleasure is by definition what the term “SODOMY” means. This includes the use of man made devices termed as sexual “TOYS” or any part of the human anatomy, such as one's own finger or hand.

Now the word “SODOMY” is derived from the word “SODOM”, which is a city that is spoken of in the Holy Bible that was DESTROYED by Almighty God by fire and brimstone raining down from heaven because of the sinful acts of homosexuality and anal sex. You can read the following account given in the Holy Bible found in Genesis 19:1-29, that clearly teaches us that Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities were destroyed because of the WICKEDNESS or EVIL. Now you may feel that you were born with your sexual preferences and say that homosexuality is not wicked or evil, but in the eyes of God any and every sin is considered to be wickedness or evil. Now I agree that to most people living in sin including some Christians living in sin do not like to be called wicked or their actions to be called evil, but again this is what God's word teaches us what sin truly is in God's eyes. Please keep in mind that this study in God's word is for your GOOD and always remember that God is likened to a GOOD parent who wants only to see GOOD happen to us. Here is Genesis 19:1-29 from the New Century Version.

“The two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting near the city gate. When he saw them, he got up and went to them and bowed face down on the ground.

2. Lot said, "Sirs, please come to my house and spend the night. There you can wash your feet, and then tomorrow you may continue your journey." The angels answered, "No, we will spend the night in the city's public square."

3. But Lot begged them to come, so they agreed and went to his house. Then Lot prepared a meal for them. He baked bread without yeast, and they ate it.

4. Before bedtime, men both young and old and from every part of Sodom surrounded Lot's house.

5. They called to Lot, "Where are the two men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sexual relations with them."

6. Lot went outside to them, closing the door behind him.

7 He said, "No, my brothers! Do not do this EVIL THING. (In other word,s Lot is warning these men to NOT have sexual relations with these two men that are staying at Lot's house and calls this type of sexual relations of men having sex with other men an EVIL THING)

8. Look! I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. I will give them to you, and you may do anything you want with them. But please don't do anything to these men. They have come to my house, and I must protect them. (Here is this verse we see that Lot understands that this type of homosexual sexual relations between men is so EVIL that Lot offers his very own virgin daughters to these men to have sex with them so that they would NOT have sex with these men staying at his house.)"

9. The men around the house answered, "Move out of the way!" Then they said to each other, "This man Lot came to our city as a stranger, and now he wants to tell us what to do!" (again none of us really like being told that our behavior or actions are wrong, but the word of God living in me must cry out to warn whosoever will listen to the gospel of Jesus Christ to repent of your sins and turn to God who will teach you how to walk free from the bondage of sin.) They said to Lot, "We will do worse things to you than to them." They started pushing him back and were ready to break down the door.

10. But the two men staying with Lot opened the door, pulled him back inside the house, and then closed the door.

11. They struck those outside the door with blindness, so the men, both young and old, could not find the door.

12. The two men said to Lot, "Do you have any other relatives in this city? Do you have any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any other relatives? If you do, tell them to leave now,

13. because we are about to destroy this city. The Lord has heard of all the evil that is here, so he has sent us to destroy it."

14. So Lot went out and said to his future sons-in-law who were pledged to marry his daughters, "Hurry and leave this city! The Lord is about to destroy it!" But they thought Lot was joking. (This study that is written to WARN you of God's coming judgment is NO JOKING matter. Jesus WARNED us that just as God DESTROYED all the wicked in Sodom and Gomorrah so likewise will he once again destroy the wicked of today.)

15. At dawn the next morning, the angels begged Lot to hurry. They said, "Go! Take your wife and your two daughters with you so you will not be destroyed when the city is punished."

16. But Lot delayed. So the two men took the hands of Lot, his wife, and his two daughters and led them safely out of the city. So the Lord was merciful to Lot and his family.

17. After they brought them out of the city, one of the men said, "Run for your lives! Don't look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Run to the mountains, or you will be destroyed."

18. But Lot said to one of them, "Sir, please don't force me to go so far!

19. You have been merciful and kind to me and have saved my life. But I can't run to the mountains. The disaster will catch me, and I will die.

20. Look, that little town over there is not too far away. Let me run there. It's really just a little town, and I'll be safe there."

21. The angel said to Lot, "Very well, I will allow you to do this also. I will not destroy that town.

22. But run there fast, because I cannot destroy Sodom until you are safely in that town." (That town is named Zoar, because it is little.)

23. The sun had already come up when Lot entered Zoar.

24. The Lord sent a rain of burning sulfur down from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah

25. and destroyed those cities. He also destroyed the whole Jordan Valley, everyone living in the cities, and even all the plants.

26. At that point Lot's wife looked back. When she did, she became a pillar of salt. (Now some interpret Lot's wife LOOKING BACK to those Christians who look back desiring their old lifestyle of sin and wanting to turn back to living that way once again. Yes there is no doubt that we all deal with the temptations of some parts of our old lifestyle when we once lived in sin, but the danger comes when we continually dwell on these thoughts that we run the risk of falling back into sin. This is why we are warned not to look back, as in desiring to return to our old lifestyle of sin.)

27. Early the next morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord.

28. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the Jordan Valley and saw smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

29. God destroyed the cities in the valley, but he remembered what Abraham had asked. So God saved Lot's life, but he destroyed the city where Lot had lived.”

Again Jesus prophesied and WARNED not only us as Christians but also the entire world that in the last days before his coming again to the earth that the world would be like it was in the DAYS of Noah just before Almighty God sent a flood to destroy the wicked from the earth. And Jesus went on to say that the world would be like it was in the DAYS of Lot or SODOM and Gomorrah just before Almighty God rained down fire and brimstone to destroy the wicked in these and the surrounding cities. In other words, Jesus was saying that just as HOMOSEXUALITY grew worse and worse in the days of Lot and Sodom an dthe wicked were destroyed for their wicked sexual sins so also shall it be in the last day right before I come again to execute the judgment of wrath of Almighty gd upon the wicked and to save the righteous and those who repent of their sins and call upon the name of the Lord. Please read Luke 17:16-33, which clearly teaches us that Almighty God will spare only the righteous and those that call upon the name of the Lord, but will destroy ALL the unrepentant of their sins with his wrath of consuming fire.

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be ALSO in the days of the Son of man.

27.  They did eat, they drank (in other words, they “partied and got drunk” as a way of life), they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (in other words, the ignored the preaching and warnings of Noah and continued in their sins right up to the time that the flood sent as a judgment from Almighty God destroyed ALL the wicked.)

28. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29. But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32. Remember Lot's wife. ( Again some interpret this verse to mean that Lot's wife did not what to leave Sodom and kept looking back at what she was giving up by leaving the lifestyle that she desired and was turned into a pillar of salt or LOST her life because she would not let go and trust God.)

33. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.”

Verse 33 agrees with this interpretation about Lot's wife LOOKING BACK when we understand that one way to view verse 33 is to see that it is teaching us that if we lose or let go of the fleshly desires that the enemy has deceived us into believing are our own desires and place our trust in God and his word, then we shall preserve or save our lives through his Son Jesus Christ. But if we seek to save or keep living in our old lifestyle of sin, then we will lose our reward of eternal life in the world to come. This pertains to all sin and not just to the sin of living a homosexual lifestyle. But first a person must come to the knowledge of the truth that what they are doing is SIN in the eyes of Almighty God their creator. It is like the old saying goes that no one can help and alcoholic until the alcoholic himself comes to the place that he or she knows that they need HELP to be set free from the bondage or addiction of alcohol.

Every person struggles with their own personal sin so to speak. In other words, some people struggle with the addiction of alcohol or drugs, while other people cannot understand how anyone desires these harmful vices. Other people fight against pornography or things like adultery while others wonder why anyone would want to jeopardize their relationship with their spouse by indulging in such things. The point that I want to make is that no matter what your personal sin may be the fight against it is just as real and difficult to fight to you. So this study is NOT about condemning you because of your sin, but rather to bring the LIGHT of God's word to you so that “the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.”as Deuteronomy 30 teaches us. In other words, this study in God's word is written for the purpose of helping you obtain eternal life in the world to come and to keep you from living a life that will lead to your destruction on the day of judgment.

So then, if you are one that has already reached the point where you yourself KNOW deep inside of you that what you are doing is wrong in the eyes of Almighty God and you truly want to be set free from the things you do, but no matter how hard you have tried in the past you just cannot seem to break free, then please read the study that I have entitled “HO TO LIVE YOUR LIFE FREE FROM SIN!” Now it may be that you are still not convinced that homosexuality is wrong in any way. If this is this case then I implore you to please keep reading. You may even be a Christians who has unknowingly been deceived by the enemy to believe that you were BORN a homosexual and that this is who you are so therefore HOW could just loving someone is a sexual way possibly be wrong.

First of all I want you to understand that complacency to speak out against sin of any kind has crept into many of the churches in the world today even to the point and that this complacency has lead some to search out for themselves verses in the Bible that some are now using to try and EXCUSE sin. And it just so happens that homosexuality is one of these sins that is becoming more and more accepted even by some Christians in the world today. So some of the blame is to be placed upon us as Christians who have for whatever reason made the choice to become complacent and not warn others of the consequences of their sin.

In fact as I said before there are some websites and even churches that use verses from the Bible to try and prove that homosexuality is not a sin. There are even some church denominations have ordained men and women to be pastors in their denomination. And this acceptance of sin not being sin has caused some confusion among some to indulge in sin when they most likely would not have done if the church was preaching the TRUTH. So then, just because a person, a website or even an entire church denomination uses verses from the Bible to TRY and teach that homosexuality is NOT a sin does NOT mean that it is the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. So again I assure you that these teachers making the claim that homosexuality is not a sin are FALSE teachers and they are BLIND to the TRUTH of God's word. They have taken verses OUT of CONTEXT in order to twist them to say what they want them to say so that they can excuse their own sin of committing homosexual acts of man having sex with men and woman having sex with women..

Please read Romans 1:16-32, which CLEARLY and without a doubt teaches us that all of mankind is without excuse and cannot claim that he of she did not know God's will for their life o the day of judgment. And more specifically that no one can say that homosexuality is NOT sin in the eyes of Almighty God.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for (or BECAUSE) it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (You see my dear brothers and sister in our Lord Jesus Christ we should not be timid or ashamed to speak out the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to warn others of sin, because it is the very hearing of the truth of God's word's that will bring LIGHT to the sinner that is able to save all those who will listen and obey this wonderful good news from God).

17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (We as Christians must WARN thos living in sin of the wrath of God that is coming upon all who do NOT repent of their sins to live a life pleasing to God.)

19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it unto them.

20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: (But even when the gospel has not been preached to them they still have NO EXCUSE to deny the very existence of God who is teaching us all right from wrong through of conscience.)

21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

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

24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped 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 recompense 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 other words, they ignored their conscience because this knowledge of God from right and wrong made them feel guilty of their action they reasoned away these thoughts in their mind over and over until God let them do what the devil deceived them into believing ways their own desire.)

29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30. Backbiters, haters of God, spiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31. Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

Now those Christians who read the King James Bible know and understand that verses 26 and 27 are speaking of the sin of committing homosexual acts where men are having sex with other men and women are having sex with other women, but for those of you who may have trouble understanding the King James Version of the Bible here is Romans 1 :18-28 from the New Century Version.

“God's anger is shown from heaven against all the evil and wrong things people do. By their own evil lives they hide the truth.

19. God shows his anger because some knowledge of him has been made clear to them. Yes, God has shown himself to them.

20. There are things about him that people cannot see -- his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand by what God has made. So people have NO EXCUSE for the bad things they do.

21. They knew God, but they did not give glory to God or thank him. Their thinking became useless. Their foolish minds were filled with darkness.

22. They said they were wise, but they became fools.

23. They traded the glory of God who lives forever for the worship of idols made to look like earthly people, birds, animals, and snakes.

24. Because they did these things, God left them and let them go their sinful way, wanting only to do evil. As a result, they became full of sexual sin, using their bodies wrongly with each other.

25. They traded the truth of God for a lie. They worshiped and served what had been created instead of the God who created those things, who should be praised forever. Amen.

26. Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex and started having sex with other women.

27. In the same way, men stopped having natural sex and began wanting each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrongs.

28. People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own worthless thinking and to do things they should not do.”

This passage of scripture leaves NO DOUBT to anyone seeking the TRUTH of God's word that homosexual relationships are UNATURAL sexual relationships that are sinful in the eyes of Almighty God our creator and if those who are committing such sexual acts do not repent of their sins and turn their lives over to Jesus Christ to live godly lives they they shall perish in the eternal fire on the day of judgment. The word of truth is very clear in teaching us that no ungodliness shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. You see just because and alcoholic does Not what to see or admit to the fact that they have become a slave so to speak to alcohol does not take away from the fact that they are indeed causing harm to themselves and the ones around them who love them. Now for the sake of making a closer comparison to God's word let us for the moment assume that to be an alcoholic and a drunkard was ILLEGAL by our man made laws and was punishable by death. If this were actually the case would not more people who knew those who were indulging in alcohol do all that they could do in order to HELP those people get free alcohol even though the one's using alcohol saw absolutely nothing wrong with what they were doing in their own eyes? Absolutely you would! So please understand the INTENTION of what I am writing to you and that it is to your GOOD.

Now as I briefly mentioned earlier that some may say something like, “How can God judge me of being a sinner if I was BORN as a homosexual?”, but I assure you that no one is BORN to be a homosexual. This is a lie from the enemy Satan the devil. Yes I understand that here are some Christians who do in fact teach that all of mankind are BORN as SINNERS and that we all have inherited a SINFUL NATURE because of the original sin of Adam,but I assure you that these teachings are FALSE and can be easily proven to be so when the WHOLE word of God is kept I view. Please read the studies called “THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY” and “THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN” for a deeper understanding that none of mankind is BORN as a sinner. I

But for now if you are honest with yourself any sin that you have committed or may yet be thinking of committing always starts out in the beginning by you resisted those sins in your mind. In other words, your conscience, or those thoughts in your mind kept over and over trying to get you NOT to do what another voice or thought in your mind kept persistently trying to get you to do. You see, it was you making the choice to keep on listening to the WRONG voice over time that you came to enjoy listening MORE and more to the voice of the enemy until this voice finally convinced you that what you were thinking about doing would not be doing anything wrong. This is the way that the devil deceives us into disobeying God's law that is written in our CONSCIENCE even when a person has not yet come to be a Christian. This is why God's word tells us that none of us have any excuse for the sins that we have committed and that we all are guilty before God. Please read Romans 2:14,15, which teaches us that even while we were yet sinners we all still had aconscience that we wrestled with thoughts in our heads that were coming from the enemy Satan the devil. You see we ALL have a conscience even though is seems that some people who have been corrupted by evil n longer seem to have a conscience. They still do have a conscience, but they have not obeyed if for so long that God gave them over to do whatever they choose to do. Now I pearsonally believe that these people can be reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ, but at the same time I also realize that our time is short and therefore some of us are going to be faced with some hard choices of how much time should we spend on those who have so hardened their own hearts that God had no choice but to turn them over to a reprobate mind so that they would become even more hardened toward God even to the point of denying the very existence of God.

Again only God knows the heart of a person and it may bee that even though it seems hopeless to us that person may be crying out for help on the inside as they openly and boastfully proclaim that they are proud of being a homosexual. The truth of the matter is that the release that they felt when they gave into to the voice of the enemy that deceiving them to believing that they were born to be gay and came out openly and proclaimed themselves to be gay was the release from that warring in their minds.

We all at times want this war in our minds to STOP. That is to say that our fleshly canal minds want the conviction of our actions to leave us alone, but it truth our inner man never truly gives up, but rather our flesh locks this voice away. You see, the choice some of us make in order to get our conscience to shut up is just give into the desire that only seems to be our own. We are deceived into thinking that if we get away from God and his word and stop listening to other that are telling us that we are sinning that this voice of conviction will leave us alone for good and that this is truly what we want. We all have reasoned away the guilt and conviction of our conscience at times and have given into the temptation to sin. Yes, while giving into sin on occasion is dangerous and should be avoided I am more so focusing on the sins that some of us have reason in our minds that are NOT sin in our own minds.

Now some of you may be wondering if I myself am or ever was a homosexual and the answer is no. However, this does not mean that I do not understand what a homosexual is going through and how they came to accept the lie of the enemy to proclaim that they are gay. You see, even though I myself have never been tempted, deceived, or lied to by the enemy that I am a homosexual I have none the less been tempted in other areas. Again we as Christian have all gone through some temptation from the enemy and most likely many of us have reasoned away our conscience to that that which we knew deep inside was wrong to do. And some of us continued to do these SAME sinful things over and over until we came to a point where some of us tried to reason that our actions was NOT a sin somehow.

I myself fell into this trap or snare of the enemy in the area of pornography. I share more about this addiction is some of my personal testimony throughout the studies that I have written, but for now I want those who have become convinced that your homosexual lifestyle in not a sin to understand that any person can become convince that any sin is not truly a sin. I was. And the sin that I was deceived into believing was just my NATURE that I was BORN with was LUST. More precisely I loved to have sex with my wife. Now some of you may be thinking that loving to have sex with your own wife is not sin. And yes you are correct except I let this love lead me back into the pornography that I delved into when I was a youth and single. To make a long story short I came to a place where I could no longer perform and I used pornography to help me along rather than confront my wife openly and honestly.

“For when the Gentiles (the heathen or sinners), which have not the law (speaking of the commandments of God), do by NATURE the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15. Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their THOUGHTS the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)”

So you see dear reader, we all have been born with a NATURE to do that which is right in the eyes of Almighty God, and then over time the enemy of God DECEIVED us into disobeying our CONSCIENCE that convicts us of right and wrong. Then the more we obeyed this lying voice the less and less our conscience bothered us. Eventual we became slaves to the sins we were committing because they somehow seemed to become our own desires and pleasures. In other words, we did not want to retain God in our knowledge, because it reminded us that we were not doing that which was pleasing in the eyes of God. We wanted to do our own thing and had pleasure in doing them. Our thoughts EXCUSED our actions. This pattern exist in no matter what your own personal sin may have been or may yet be, but I assure you that the blood of Jesus Christ has broken the power that the enemy once had over us. The Bible teaches us that we have been made FREE from the bondage of sin and that sin shall NOT have dominion over us who believe. Please read the study called “HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE FREE FROM SIN” for a deeper understand of how to overcome sin in your life.
