For years I've heard atheists make fun of Christians (the least of which is Bill Marr), and now we have to watch this nonsense unfold. Churches split over LGBTQ nonsense.
First it was the Presbyterians, then it was the Lutherans and now the Methodists get to take the same walk of shame. I say shame, because that's what it is, it's a shame. It's a shame that they all think that they're smarter than God. It's a shame that they all think that they have better answers than God. It's a shame that they think what they believe is right is finally being treated as right, because the active-sinners have made their way into leadership.
And for those of you who feel like accusing me of being anti-anything or mean-spirited or whatever, know this.... The only country dealing with this LEVEL OF NONSENSE is the United States. Christians at large understand the simple information found in scripture to be quite comprehensive. No matter how much two LGBTQ-XYZ people "love" each other, it's still a sin. And there are still others who say that if Jesus never mentioned it, then He's obviously okay with homosexuality. Really? Jesus never mentioned anything about abortion or same-sex marriage or about child molestation, so I guess using their logic, Jesus would have approved of all of those things as well. Do you see the dangerous web that gets woven when you INTERPRET the bible? Why can't you just allow God to say what He meant and mean what He said?
For instance:
Genesis 19:1–11 - Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. And he said, "Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way." And they said, "No, but we will spend the night in the open square." But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally." So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, and said, "Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof." And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.
Can you imagine? The father of two young daughters offers up his own children for these many men to rape and defile and yet they still wanted to rape the Angels that God sent! Unbelievable!
Leviticus 18:22-24 - You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. 'Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.'
WOW. Not only does God mention that people are defiled, BUT WHOLE NATIONS!
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
Clarity at its' finest. If two people lie with another member of the same sex, they are not only considered an abomination by God, but God says they were to be put to death!
Mark 10:6-9 - But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
This is the very simple language that anyone can read without interpretation to understand that God made humans male and female and THAT PARTICULAR COMBINATION is the one He intended.
Romans 1:18-32 - For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man --- and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
You know, there's a whole lot I could write about the above passage, but it's the last sentence that gets me the angriest. God says that people WHO KNOW BETTER not only DO THE SAME, but they APPROVE OF THOSE WHO PRACTICE THEM.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:17-20 - But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 7:2 - Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
1 Timothy 1:8-11 - But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
Jude 1:5-8 - But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.
And don't be fooled, it's not just the 3 religions I mentioned. There are many offshoots out there who welcome the alphabet-soup of "genders" into their congregations. As with all things, God demands you use discernment in all things.
Philippians 1:8-11 - For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
As always please share this with someone you know or love. Fact is, the knowledge of God, rather than the foolishness of men may actually save their lives.
Proverbs 27:22 - Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
