The TRUTH About Homosexuality

The TRUTH About Homosexuality

Lets be honest, while the bible is clear on no sin being greater than the other, there just seems to be extra hostility towards the sin of homosexuality. Its almost as if homosexuality is the WORST sin. If its one thing believers and some unbelievers can come come into agreement with, is that its wrong. Why is that? Why can lying sorta fly under the radar as "not a big deal", but when it comes to homosexuality its almost as if a riot can start right then and there? Well, that's because the sin of homosexuality is the ONLY sin that distorts and perverts the very image of God. You see God created both man and woman to become one through the act of sex to represent both sides of God coming together. The man represents the fathering, authoritative, administrative side of God. The woman represents the nurturing, loving, caring side of God. Homosexuality not only goes AGAINST the original natural intent of sex, it also goes against the original spiritual significance of sex that God intended to be between a man and a woman only. Sex is a beautiful gift from God. It is a holy union of two bodies becoming one. When you look around (with everything that society portray about sex), the culture of this world has done a great job at leaving God out of His own invention (sex). Because the world has been successful at leaving God out of it and the church has done a WACK job at reinstating the pure beauty of it, it gave the devil an upper-hand of taking matters into his own hand to destroy whats meant to be scared, through perversion. This blog post is to open the eyes of people who struggle with it or  who've always wanted to know the why BEYOND "its just wrong", and get to the ROOT of why homosexuality is such a grave sin. I want to shine the TRUTH on this topic, as the truth will definitely set many free. I pray that all hearts and minds are open to receive what is being shared, and that the devil has NO hold on your mind as you read this. 

Where Did Homosexuality Come From?

First and foremost we must understand what kind of war we are in. We must become aware of the two opposing Kingdoms fighting against each other. God vs satan. Many people think that the devil is an equal force of evil to God who is the supreme force of good, but that isn't true. God created the devil so there's no way they're equal in power. Before he became satan he was lucifer, the most beautiful and highest ranking angel in heaven (Ezekiel 28: 12-19). He was chief over the praise and worship department in heaven. But because of his pride and evil  lust to be "God", he was casted out of heaven (Isaiah 14: 12-15), along side him, his following of 1/3 of the angels (Revelations 12:4), and destined for utter destruction. Because of this, and him knowing he's doomed at the end of this age, it caused him to HAAATE God. On top of that because angels aren't made in the image of God (only humans are) and because satan has lost all of his rights to be in the presence of God like we who are reconciled through Jesus are, he HAAAATTTEEESS ALL of Gods creations and is desperate to destroy us to get back at God.

So what is homosexuality? Its a spirit of sexual confusion and perversion from the devil. Where did it come from? It came from two sources: 1. HELL and 2. Humans evil lust because of their sinful nature caused by the fall of man through Adam and Eve. Sin entered the earth when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit. When they did this act of disobedience to God and believed the lie of the serpent, they forfeited their God given authority to rule and reign and gave that to the devil. From that moment until Jesus came to redeem us, sin ran RAMPANT on earth causing the spirit of homosexuality to enter earth: Romans 1:18-23  

¹⁸ But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 

¹⁹ They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.

  ²⁰ For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

²¹ Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.  

²² Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 

²³ And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴ So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.  

²⁵ They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.  

²⁶ That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.  

²⁷ And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

²⁸ Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.  

²⁹ Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 

³⁰ They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 

³¹ They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy.  

³² They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

Natural and Spiritual Aspect of Sex

Like I said earlier, homosexuality goes against Gods original intent for sex. It goes against nature itself. Sex by God was created to be within the constitution of marriage between a man and a woman ONLY. Everything you see here on earth is a type and shadow of the world we can not see: the spiritual world. Believe it or not, sex is more spiritual than it is just natural. The meaning of sex in the spiritual represents our intimacy with God through worship. The more we worship God, the closer and more intimate we get with Him. To go back to the very beginning, why did God create people in the first place?! He created us because He desired to have an intimate relationship with His sons and daughters. Because of the fall, the harmonious flow of intimacy between God and mankind was disrupted. But through our worship, it ushers us back into His presence. Don't get it twisted now, we DO NOT have sex with God like a man and a woman naturally have sex. But because we live in a natural world birthed from the spiritual, God uses the natural things to parallel spiritual meanings. Sex is a INTIMATE thing. In the natural sex between a man and a woman represents spiritually both sides of God coming together to make WHOLE His image. Homosexuality on the other hand can not do that because is symbolizes only one side of God coming together which states 1. God is incomplete and 2. God is confused. But the bible in 1Corinthians 14:33 clearly states "For God is not a God of confusion and disorder but of peace and order. . .". Homosexuality also goes against Gods 2nd intent for sex between a man and a woman  which was to be fruitful and multiply. Fruitful and multiply what? More godly seeds (children) made in HIS image here on earth. Homosexuality can not even come close to reproducing, which rebels against Gods command for man and woman to "be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it" Genesis 1:28. The devil HATES humans because we remind him of God, and who he will NEVER be. And because of this, he is out to destroy mankind. What better way to control population through annihilation by causing a spirit of confusion and perversion to enter the minds and hearts of people which will eventually put a end to human reproduction. EVERYTHING about the devil is evil and dirty. And whether you are aware of it or not, the devil especially HATES you. So do you see how he's trying to twist something so holy and so precious (sex) by creating homosexuality and lesbianism? Its all a plot to get back at God, destroy humans, and drag as much people to hell with him as he can. Contrary to what the world portrays as "freedom of living" and "equality", the only freedom of living this world offers is the freedom to SELF DESTRUCT. And if we got OUR rights vs Gods right for our lives, we'd ALL be in hell tonight because our sinful nature only knows to do one thing, and that's sin! 

How To Get Free!

Many people through ignorance say that people who are gay are born that way. But thats a lie from satan himself. God is the ONLY giver and creator of life. So to say someone was born that way is a LIE because the devil can not create life, he can only imitate it by twisting and perverting it. Why would God create someone to be gay, then later on turn around and cast them into hell? Remember, God is NOT the author of confusion, the devil is. The bible is CLEAR on God not wanting anyone to perish, but for everyone to inherit eternal life through Jesus Christ through repentance and faith (2Peter 3:9). Also many people through their lack of knowing God and His word claim that people can not get delivered from that lifestyle. That they're stuck and just have to deal with it, but that too is a lie. The ONLY way to be set free from that spirit, is through the supernatural power of God to cast that spirit OUT! Like I said earlier, homosexuality is a spirit. And the ONLY way to have that spirit casted out of someone, is for that person to acknowledge and come in agreement that that lifestyle is a sin, and an abomination towards God. The thing about the spirit of homosexuality is that it is a militant stubborn spirit rooted in REBELLION. It HATES God, and wants to destroy His image. Homosexuals are not evil people, but the spirit that lives in them are. God does not hate the person (because after all He created them), but He HATES WITH DISGUST the spirit that the devil sent on them. The hardest part about getting someone with that spirit free, is getting them to see eye to eye with God why its wrong. A lot of time homosexuals go to church but aren't set free. Why? that's because some churches lack the WORD and LOVE of God to convict, and the PRESENCE and POWER of God to deliver. I often say this a lot "God wont deliver you from your friends, He'll only deliver you from your enemies". In other words, God can only save you from what you hate. Because God can not and will not go against our free will, if you like a certain sin and what to continue living in it, there's nothing God can do except let you reach your own destruction because that is what YOU chose. However, if it is a sin that you sincerely hate and you're sincerely disgusted about it, but find yourself continuing in committing it, when you desperately ask God for help, HE WILL DELIVER YOU!!! So all in all, the only way to be set free from the spirit of homosexuality is to 1. Acknowledged that it is a sin to God and sincerely HATE it. And 2. Find a church or someone who operates IN the POWER of the Holy Spirit to deliver you. There is NO sin to foul for God to forgive or deliver. That is the EXACT reason why Jesus came and died on the cross. "For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." - 2Corinthians 5:21. Jesus Himself became every sin you can ever imagine, just so that no matter what any of us committed, we would be forgiven and redeemed through His shed blood from the cross when we come to Him. God loves EVERY human being because He wills the highest for all. So even if you are a homosexual, God does not hate YOU, He HATES the lifestyle, the spirit and the sin. Hate the devil the same way he hates you. Come to Christ and come into agreement with God that it is wrong. The devil wants nothing more than to keep those in bondage, TRAPPED. Do not by that lie. Jesus did not come to save those who think they were righteous, but He came for those who know they are sinners (Mark 2:17). Most people wont ever get saved because they simply don't want to. But salvation is FREE to ALL who wants to be FREE. The question is (not just for homosexuality, but for any other sin) DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE? Below are clips of testimonies of people that once was bound by that demon, but Jesus set the FREE!

 

Dating vs Courting: To Marriage

Dating vs Courting: To Marriage

Dating and Courting are 2 MAJOR different things. One was created by man, the other was created by God. Contrary to now popular beliefs, God does not prohibit dating (in the sense of leaving it up to you to figure out who you think is best for you). In fact dating is never mentioned or seen in the bible at all. Courting on the other hand is Gods way of totally bringing two people together to the conclusion of marriage. Dating was created by man to give many options. Why? Because naturally mankind's sinful nature is afraid of commitment. We're selfish by nature so its our selfish way of testing out what WE think is best for US. Nibbling on who we think we like, and when we get fed up, throwing them away, and as a result leaving a trail of broken hearts behind that we end up not even caring about because our focus is on the next one we want to nibble on. If I must be blunt, its the most classiest way of prostituting ourselves. *gasps* PROSTITUTING??? YES chile, prostituting. Think about it. You spot out the one you want, you dress a certain way that will reel them in, you both say what you think each other wants to hear, you absolutely don't plan on marrying  this person cause you just want to have "fun". You test each other out for however long, and once you're bored, its on to the next one! Dating is actually more dangerous to our emotions than we know compared to how the world portrays it. Anyone who's ever played the dating game can tell you a broken heart is absolutely part of the package. Like I said in my previous post "Since When Did Kissing Become A Sin?", All of our wrong decisions were always controlled by how we felt and our willingness to act upon how we felt. And a broken heart only testifies to the out of control and irrational actions most of us are or have been responsible for. A fathers number 1 priority is to always PROTECT! That explains why dating is not something God created or even suggests, for the simply fact it enables hurt vs the love it promises. 

I believe there is a such thing as a "soul mate". Someone God predestined for you to be with even before you were born. However, with the option of dating this culture has given many, it not only taught people how NOT to rely on God, but also how to pick from their own limited judgement the "good guy" or "good girl" they so desire. But because God is sovereign and full of mercy, instead of saying "you picked the wrong person to marry so I'm going to let you suffer", He throws grace on it to make it work. Ask anyone who has met their soul mate (the one God chose for them) their spirit and heart knew without doubt, that she/he was the one. Many times because we do our own picking instead of waiting on the PERFECT one God has for us, temptation seems to knock on the door more often. Why? because our soul is subconsciously still in search of THE ONE. Now I'm not saying that the couples who waited on God don't experience temptation (because temptation is inevitable), I'm saying the ones who did not wait will almost constantly have these 2 questions echoing in the back of their conscious "Am I with the right one? Did I meet and marry my soul mate?".  

Dating

Dating by definition of its title alone (no dictionary) means dated. It describes a stage in a person's life when he or she is actively pursuing romantic relationships with different people. The fact that you're pursuing romantic relationships with other people means there must be an expiration date to the previous person you was dating. Like I said earlier, anyone who's played the dating game knows that a broken heart or hurt feelings is part of the package. Dating is the perfect way to play Russian Roulette with your heart. I mean think about it, does seeing how fast you can dodge a bullet to the head seem like thee most wisest thing to do? Well, does placing your heart in the hands of different people in hopes of YOU finding the one, seem like the wisest thing to do? Unless you love feeling rejected, hurt and abused, I think NOT!!! Understand the dating that I'm addressing here is not the kind that married folks or two exclusive people on the verge of marriage go on (those dates are NECESSARY), I'm talking about the hopscotch dating that most people are all to familiar with. Dating outside of courtship and marriage as my girl Heather Lindsey would say, (Check out her blog here) = RANDOMS! A Random is defined as a person you KNOW you'll never marry but you date them to fill a void because you're lonely or bored. Its an unhealthy relationship for the simple fact ITS NOT GOING ANYWHERE! Dating teaches how to be unloyal, unfaithul, and uncommitted. Society associates loyalty and faithfulness as a simple "I'll never cheat on you", but loyalty and faithfulness goes deeper than that. Being loyal and faithful means "I'm not going to throw you away because I'm bored. I'm not going to turn my back on you because you're not making me happy right now. I'm going to stick this out because I made a commitment to you. I sacrificed my happiness for you because you are worth it". Commitment and sacrifice is something dating CAN NOT teach you, because it teaches how to practice divorce. It teaches when the going gets rough or when I'm bored and have met someone else more fun and interesting, I'll take a break or leave. There are no deep roots in dating. It's just a pocket full of randoms. And to top it off, there is no such thing as a "break" in a marriage. This is where courting comes into play ;)

 Courting  

 Unlike dating, playing the guessing game and courting can not be parallel. That's because God doesn't play games. The bible says "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor with the Lord" - Proverbs 18:22 . The way God does things will ALWAYS be different from the worlds way of doing things. Gods ways are higher than mans ways. Courting as I said earlier is Gods way of bringing two people together to the conclusion of marriage. By the time the man approaches the woman with the intentions of being exclusive, he must already know she is his wife. Already you see the difference between dating and courting. Dating: you're selfishly trying to find the one on your own, hurting yourself and others in the process. Courting: You already know he/she IS the one so there's no need in playing games. Courting enforces the practice of commitment, sacrifice, loyalty and faithfulness which will eventually bleed into the marriage. Dating tells you if you cant take it, break it, off. Remember now, courting was created by God, so the foundation will always stand on His word. So what do you do when you know you have Gods best? You. . .  .  .

• Commit:
  "This is what the LORD commands:  When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said." -Numbers 30:1-2. Commitment is a promise. Courting is a commitment that this is the person you want to take it to the next level with; marriage. There is no game playing in courting. Its either you're 100% or not. The word of God in Matthew5:37 tells us to either let our yes be yes, or our no be no. So its either you want to commit pursing marriage with the person or you don't. The only reason people are afraid to commit, is because they're afraid of dying to themselves. In other words, they're selfish!  

• Sacrifice:
  "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." - John 15:13. With commitment comes sacrifice. That's something the world doesn't know because we're to busy looking for someone that'll make US happy, rather than laying down our own happiness for the sake of another. There is no selfishness in courting because you must learn to SACRIFICE. What you put into practice before you marry, is what your marriage will end up being a reflection of. You don't automatically have the most blissful marriage after you say I do. The most blissful marriage starts BEFORE you say your vows, and that's out of the seeds you've been sowing during the proscess of getting to know each other.
• Loyalty and Faithfulness:
  "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity" - Proverbs 17:17. Loyalty and faithfulness is unwavering in both the good and bad times. Loyalty is a strong support and allegiance to someone else rather than yourself. God is faithful to us even when we aren't faithful to Him. And because courting is His design, it only make sense to do unto another what Hes done for us. Dating the worlds way is always disclaiming "whats in it for me?". With commitment comes sacrifice. And sacrifice is done out of loyalty and faithfulness to the person irregardless of whats in it for you or not.
  
  
  
  There's so much more that can be elaborated on on this topic, but the number 1 question I often hear in Christian conversation/debates is "Is it okay for Christians to date other Christians?". My stance on this is, NO! Just because someone is Christian does not mean that they're the one God had in mind for you. GOD KNOWS BEST. And like I said before, dating is selfishly testing out who you think is best for you. It enables hurt rather than the love it promises. We are commissioned to love each other with a brotherly/sisterly love in the faith, not date each other. We must come to the conclusion that the Kingdom of God operates differently from the world. When we came to Christ it was because we made a commitment to forsake the ways of this world. While the world does not want to or even know to trust in God, we know that our stability lies on the trust we have IN Him. Not only to protect us, but knowing our future enough to know whats ultimately BEST for us. And in this context, WHO is best for us. To take matters into our own hands is to tell God "give me back my life because I can do a better job than you". Our own hearts can deceive us because feelings fluctuate. As a result of dating or failed relationships, many in the body of Christ are wounded and suffering from broken hearts. The devil as we know targets those who are wounded because its easier to take them out. How effective can we be if we take on as the world going around hurting each other? A fathers number 1 priority is to protect. Compared to dating that is exactly what courting enables, protection and security of ones heart and emotions in the hands of someone God sees fit and trustworthy enough. I don't know about the rest of you all, but I definitely trust God enough to know the heart, intent, and motives of the person He has predestined for me to be with. Why play games or even settle for someone who is unsure if you're worth them committing to, when you can seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and wait for Him to bring to you (when the time is ready), your soul mate?
