Although I have compassion for the families of the shooting victims in Orlando, I feel that I must repost this teaching. The news media is using the situation in Orlando to advance the homosexual agenda, and Christians must speak out against this before it is too late.
A major sign of the end of the age is the legalization of same-gender marriage. Every great empire in history that has accepted the homosexual lifestyle as being normal has fallen within a generation. Marriage is a holy union between a man and a woman that is sanctioned by God and should not be perverted. Around five years ago, the Lord spoke to me that gay marriage was a slap to his face and that the Supreme Court would make gay marriage the law of the land, and judgment would soon come thereafter. Today, we have seen this word come to pass, Barrack Obama asked the Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage nationwide, and now gay marriage has become a reality. We have witnessed the federal government override the will of the people and prove that our votes are meaningless. It is unconstitutional for a federal or a state judge to override an issue that the citizens of a state have voted against; this is tyranny. The states are gradually losing their autonomy to a federal government that has no regard for the constitution or the will of the people.
The Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as the
surrounding cities because of their wickedness, Genesis 19:1-29. The Bible
tells us that the men of Sodom lusted after the angels of God who were sent to deliver
Lot and his family out of Sodom; they demanded that the angels be brought to
them so that they might have sexual relations with them. In response to their
wickedness, the angels smote them with blindness, then led Lot and his family
out of Sodom prior to God raining fire and brimstone upon the city. The New Testament
book of Jude tells us that God destroyed these cities specifically because of
the sin of homosexuality (strange flesh), to make them an example for all time.
Jude 1:7 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.
God does not consider
homosexuality to be a small issue, but rather a grave sin. God’s Word teaches
us that homosexuality is an abomination to God, this means that it is
detestable or an insult to God. Many people today say that God made people
homosexual and that God does not make mistakes. God does not make anyone
homosexual, homosexuality is a perversion like pedophilia, or bestiality. This
is like saying that God made people adulterers or sex addicts. We live in a
fallen world where people allow themselves to be corrupted by entertaining sin.
Homosexuality is a spiritual bondage from which people can be delivered. I have
met people that were delivered from homosexuality and are now straight, as well
as married. Christ died upon the cross to set the captive free and through
sincere repentance, the bondage of homosexuality can be broken. A person can be
saved, delivered, and made clean through faith, repentance, and perseverance.
Homosexuality is not a civil rights issue, as some believe.
Many liken it to the racial inequality issues of the sixties, but it is an
issue of sexual perversion, not race. Christians however, should show the love
of Christ to homosexual people in order to win them over to the truth, which
can set them free. Hate, name-calling, or violence should be condemned, as well
as abhorred. Below, is a list of scriptures that address homosexuality.
Romans 1:24
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts,
to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God
for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who
is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 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.
28 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;

Lev 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.
Deut 22:5 “A
woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a
woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.
1 Cor 6:9 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,p nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 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 Timothy 1:8
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding
this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and
disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those
who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 the sexually immoral,
men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else
is contrary to sound doctrine,
Jude 1:7 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.
