Ask God. What about homosexuality?
The issue of homosexuality is being discussed a lot among my aunts and uncles recently. For what reason, I'll keep it a secret.
Still. I have been thinking about it a lot lately.
I have absolutely NOTHING against gays and lesbians, but my aunts and uncles, and also my mom, seem to think that it is just so, so wrong.
I was looking at the 'What the Bible Says About' pages at the back of the bible, and found 'HOMOSEXUALITY'.
Leviticus 20:13, "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them must be put to death. What they have done is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
1 Corinthians 6:9-11, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdon of God? Do not be deceved: Neither the sexually immoral ... nor homosexual offenders ... will inherit the kingdom of God."
So it is made very very obvious. Homosexuality isn't just wrong in the sense that it is against the norm of the society, it is also wrong because it is against the word of God. Frankly, I was hoping the bible might say something positive about homosexuality, but I really should have known better.
Man and woman were created to be together.
"Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man"
But have you ever stop to think.
Some people are born with genetic abnormalities.
"God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
So, God created them. They were born with it. One person I know was born with unmentionables unlike every other person's, he had been girly since young, and now he has declared himself gay.
The question we have to ask, did God choose to create them like this?
Because it wasn't their choice. Then why do they have to "be put to death", and "not inherit the kingdoom of God"?
It is very, very unfair for him.
He is now being said to go against the word of God, and will suffer the penalties much later, when in fact, it is most likely God himself who created him like this. (Remember the unmentionables? Born with it!)
And this person I know isn't even happy with his situation.
Like I said, very unfair.
