Can god forgive homosexuality
Same-Sex Attraction
God deeply loves people with same-sex attraction. Sadly, many churches have ostracized gay-identified people. God doesn’t see people with gay attraction as greater sinners than others.
Every time the New Testament references homosexual practice as a sexual sin, it is within the context of other sins. He offers the same redemptive plan to all people. He discourages any sexual sin (regardless of gender attraction) outside of His plan for sexual utterance because He loves us and sin is destructive.
Homosexual practice has been present throughout history. Thankfully, God’s Word transcends time and culture to direct us towards life. To experience God’s top with our sexuality, we must live by God’s plan for sexuality, regardless of cultural acceptance or personal desires. The Bible clearly defines homosexual practice as a sexual sin throughout both Old and New Testaments. The only relationship where a sexual union is celebrated is within the confines of a monogamous heterosexual marriage between one bloke and one woman. All people are called to flee any sexu
What does the New Testament say about homosexuality?
Answer
The Bible is consistent through both Old and New Testaments in confirming that homosexuality is sin (Genesis –13; Leviticus ; ; Romans –27; 1 Corinthians ; 1 Timothy ; Jude ). In this matter, the New Testament reinforces what the Old Testament had declared since the Law was given to Moses (Leviticus ). The difference between the Elderly and New Testaments is that the New Testament offers hope and restoration to those caught up in the sin of homosexualitythrough the redeeming influence of Jesus. It is the same hope that is offered to anyone who chooses to embrace it (John ; –18).
God’s standards of holiness did not change with the coming of Jesus, because God does not adjust (Malachi ; Hebrews ). The New Testament is a continuing revelation of God’s interaction with humanity. God hated idolatry in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy ), and He still hates it in the New (1 John ). What was immoral in the Old Testament is still immoral in the New.
The New Testament says that homosexuality is a “shameful lust” (Rom
Homosexuality: If it's Sin, There's Hope
Have you noticed that the winds of transform are blowing with ever-increasing intensity as of late? Nowadays anything goes, and there’s a diverse “take” on many of the moral issues that regularly pop up in the daily news headlines.
With all sorts of opinions permeating news outlets, blogs, and social media, everything is now up for debate including the topic of homosexuality.
Despite widespread attempts to create Christianity culturally relevant by redefining biblical standards, I locate tremendous comfort in knowing that the truth of God’s Word remains loyal and unshakeable from generation to generation. Amid all the clamor of the opinions and teachings of men, it is positively pivotal that believers understand “thus says the Lord” concerning the various controversial issues that challenge those who profess to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The Bible tells us clearly what God has to say about the sin of homosexuality, regardless of what the secular world—and a growing segment in the Church—have to say.
But for decades now, s
What does the Bible speak about bisexuality?
Answer
The Bible nowhere directly mentions bisexuality. However, it is clear from the Bible’s denunciations of homosexuality that bisexuality would also be considered sinful. Leviticus declares having sexual relations with the similar sex to be an abomination. Romans condemns sexual relations between the matching sex as abandoning what is natural. First Corinthians states that homosexual offenders will not inherit the kingdom of God. These truths apply equally to bisexuals and to homosexuals.
The Bible tells us that a person becomes bi-curious or homosexual because of sin (Romans ). This does not necessarily represent sins the person has committed. Rather, it refers to sin itself. Sin warps, twists, and perverts everything in creation. Bisexuality and homosexuality are caused by sin "damaging" us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Sin is the plague, and bisexuality is simply one of the symptoms.
Many Christians mistakenly attention on bisexuality and homosexuality as particularly evil sins. The Bible nowhere describes homosexuality
