Is homosexuality condemned by the Bible?
I was browsing through Google News reading some of the stories on Christianity, and I am always amazed at how deluded homosexuals and their followers are about the issue of homosexuality and what the Bible really has to say.
I didn’t make the rules. God did. Either you accept his authority or you don’t. Either you accept everything the Bible says, or you don’t. If you reject the teaching on homosexuality, you reject the authority of Bible, and more importantly, you reject the authority of the Jesus Christ. Reject Jesus and you have condemned yourself.
One of the biggest fallacies of the homosexual movement is that because Christians teach that homosexuals are condemned and will go to hell is that we hate them. Fornicators, and adulterers are sexual sinners too. They will go to hell too. The thing is, I don’t hate them, or any other sinner. Why would I hate homosexuals because they are going to hell? That just doesn’t make sense?
My point though is really this: read the Bible. Find out what it really says. You don’t even have to read the Old Testament. That belongs to the Jews. As Christians, we are under the New Covenant and therefore, what the New Testament teaches is what we are to follow.
Every book of the New Testament was written during the first century, and all of the writers knew Jesus personally except for Luke and Paul. Luke and Paul both knew disciples who knew Jesus, like John and Peter, who knew Jesus directly.
The scholarship on the Bible is there. There are over 5,000r 5,000

Štetje svetopisemskih vrstic se za?ne z 1! Vrstica 0 ne obstaja!
WP-Bible plugin copies of the ancient manuscripts that prove all of this. The Bible has more authority than any other ancient manuscript. All you have to do is study the scholarship.
I would check out the rest of this site while you are there. Lots of good Christian teaching.
As for homosexuals, I just feel sorry for them. It’s easier to blame Christians for the way they feel about themselves than it is to take responsibility for their decision to be gay.

Seeking the Peace of Christ
With the economy in bad shape, and a lot of people suffering, sometimes it’s hard not to get upset or worry about your situation. Maybe that explains why I have been praying and reading my Bible more. For some reason I can’t explain, I’ve been seeking a deeper more meaningful spiritual experience.
It’s really helping too. Many things that were bothering me before aren’t bothering me now. For whatever reason that I can’t explain, I just feel better.
If you are suffering today, for whatever reason, turn your life over to Christ. He will change your life. If you need something to help you get started, read this series. There are some excellent scriptures in it, and it will also help you get your life back on track.

Free Devotional in your Email
I have read a lot of Joel Osteen, as well as Creflo Dollar. How they helped me is that they showed me just how loving God really is and how much he loves me.
It comes with a price though because I am on both of the mailing lists, and they are constantly sending me requests these days. I’m a little tired of it, especially since Joel Osteen gave the dedication for the new Houston mayor, who is gay. Instead of blessing her, why isn’t he trying to minister to her and tell her the truth?
Since I found Joel Osteen long after I got saved, and I had already read the Bible several times, then I understood how his message fit in. Although I found it helpful, it is incomplete.
That’s why I read “Our Daily Bread” every day now. I am a more mature Christian. I need meat, not milk.
In the July 3rd devotional, they talk about the snail and how slow it is. The snail though, perseveres. That’s how he gets to where he needs to go.
As Christians, we need to persevere too. Jesus never promsed us that it would be easy after we got saved. What he told us that he would be there for us to help us.
Tough times are actually a good thing because they make us stronger. It’s too bad that these days in our society we are being told that the government will fix everything for us, and we don’t have to do anything. This is why so many in the world fail and never experience everything God has in store for us.
We can live the successful life, and a life of peace and happiness if we are willing to go through the trials.
Romans 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Jesus is the answer. Plain and simple.

Answering the objection, ‘But God made me gay’
When I saw this video I wanted to cry. This really is so sad. I personally don’t want to see anyone condemned.
All I can say is that we need to pray for this young man. I genuinely hope he gets saved. It’s been my experience with the homosexuals I have known, and I’ve known quite a few, are not happy people. That’s why they fight so hard for the homosexual agenda; these are people who are desperately seeking the approval of others.
Again, we need to pray for this young man, as we need to pray for every homosexual and every person who isn’t saved.

I don’t always agree with everything that Ray Comfort says, nor do I always agree with Kirk Cameron. However, I understand what they are doing and why.
I know that there are Christians out there who use Christianity as a way to beat other people over the head. That’s wrong, and it’s really sad.
If I personally come to you wanting to share the gospel with you, it’s because I love you, not because I don’t, and not because I’m here to condemn your lifestyle.
God’s love is unconditional. He loves us all. However, his approval is not automatic, and unless you have accepted Christ as your savior, you will not see heaven. That’s what God said, not my opinion.
I hope this guy gets saved:
Heaven, Hell More Important Than ‘Whatever, Dude’
