Were the Disciples Addressing Something Other Than "same sex" Relationships?

As I wrote before, both Old and New Testaments hold to the divine mandate of marriage between one man and one woman. But some people are now claiming that the Bible writers were addressing pederasty. These people assert that the verses condemning homosexuality were really referring to heterosexual men sodomizing boys. Is that what the apostles of Christ really meant by what they wrote?

I've pointed out before that there is no such thing as a homosexual orientation. It's a behaviour like any other sin. If it truly is permanent as activists claim, why then do people change back to being heterosexual?Even the Bible says that people with same-sex attractions can be redeemed. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV) that, "And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." If some homosexuals claim to also  be Christians, this verse proves that notion to be false.

We know of course that born-again believers don't practice sin. As John wrote in 1 John 6 and 7 (BBE) "If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue: But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin."

Additionally, what about what Paul wrote in Romans chapter one regarding women engaged in unnatural practices with other women? Pederasty was only practiced by men back in the first century. Paul obviously meant sodomy and lesbian sin.

I'll be writing more on how sin and righteousness in believers are incompatible as part of my next book called You Think You're Going to Heaven? People delude themselves by thinking that God will overlook their favourite sins. They'll learn too late that he won't excuse any rebellion against him.

heterosexual? Exodus International alone shows the way former "gay" people are transformed by the power of Christ to accept what their biology says they always were.

Should Christians Practice Civil Disobedience?

This question has come up among evangelical Christians frequently these days. The LGBTQ activists have aggressively pushed for same-sex marriage to the point where legislators have made such unnatural partnerships legal.

So what can those of us who hold to natural marriage do? Some folks insist we go along with it. They see no problem calling God's holy matrimonial covenant  and same-sex marriage equal.

But God has a huge disagreement with such folks. Verses in both Old and New Testaments call any sexual relationship outside of man-woman marriage sinful. The whole point of procreation is for a man and a woman to mate and raise children who will grow up to do the same.

Marriages aren't perfect, since two highly flawed partners comprise each one, but it's the healthiest adult relationship. Children do best in two-parent, male and female, homes. No matter how "loving" same-sex partners and other unmarried people claim to be, the reality is that children need a mom and dad in their lives.

So when should those of us who are followers of Christ disobey governments? According to instances in the Bible, we must disobey laws which restrict us from serving our Lord or make us do things prohibited by him. Therefore, refusing to wed same-sex couples is the correct action for Christ's disciples to take. Neither must we indorse any moral sin which God has called an abomination.

Sadly, people make up sins. It seems especially so about activities they hate. My How I Was Razed memoir shows how a cult church messed up my mind and how Christ liberated it from their warped doctrines. Contact me for details about purchasing this glorious testimony.
