Let’s Re-consider Homosexuality

Let’s re-consider Homosexuality.

On Sunday February 5, 2012, Bryant Wright, Senior Pastor of Johnson Ferry [Baptist] Church (JFBC) in Marietta, Georgia and President of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), delivered a sermon, entitled, “When Homosexual Behavior is a Big Issue.” Follow this link to listen to his sermon: http://rightfromtheheart.org/series/the-everest-of-christian-belief).  While you are there you may want to browse his other sermon topics.

If you are homosexual, a promoter or sympathizer of the homosexual agenda, a “homophobic heterosexual” or just a Biblical Christian that “loves the sinner but hates the sin,” I would encourage you to view this sermon.  It definitely will give you something to ponder if you approach it with an open mind and as a seeker of Truth in a world deeply divided over the existence or non-existence of God, His Commandments and the humanity “rights” of man.

Watch the sermon first and then come back and read my personal view, which may or may not represent the views of JFBC or SBC, on this topic which follows below.  The church of Jesus Christ (Christianity) cannot accept the lifestyle and message of the homosexual activist and their agenda. You either accept Jesus Christ’s message or you accept the message of the world.  You cannot do both.

Many “Christian and their churches” have embraced homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle to heterosexual love, marriage and commitment. It is a logical extension of human liberty and on the surface seems justifiable to modern man—those without Jesus Christ.  But, if you look at homosexuality in light of its destructiveness—spread of socially transmitted diseases (STD’s) and cancers they cause, mental health issues, and as a destroyer of civilizations (Sodom, Gomorrah, Rome)—it would become apparent as to why God told man to reject homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle.

 “Biblical” Christians and I consider myself one, as opposed to “Christians,” view homosexuality as a genetic, medical abnormality in the same vein as alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography, sexual abuse and other “conditions” that should be treated—medically or by abstinence—but not condoned as an acceptable lifestyle.

You may have a predisposition to become an alcoholic if you drink alcohol and similarly you may have a predisposition to become homosexual if you participate in homosexual activities.  In both cases you are what you are and who you are because of your own acceptance, practice and participation in unhealthy lifestyle choices.  Would you knowingly let an alcoholic or a drug addict care or teach your young children?  Then, why would you allow a homosexual to care or teach your children about the “normality” of homosexuality?

The Bible explains all of this to man, but man has chosen to reject God’s word and His Commandments which were given to man for their own protection, not for punishment. Homosexuality does not lead to a betterment of society.  It does just the opposite as it destroys the very foundation of society.

If you accept and condone homosexuality and consider yourself to be a Christian, then you might as well throw your Bibles (that’s the book least read by modern day Christians) into the trash can and become like the rest of secular society who have a form of godliness but without the True God—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  You cannot believe in the Homosexuality lifestyle and True (Biblical) Christianity. The two do not mix. Talk with your Muslim brothers; homosexuality and Islam cannot reside together. If you persist in calling Christians hateful and homophobic when they reject the homosexual agenda because of their religious beliefs, then you must do the same for the followers of Islam.

The government of the United States of America promotes and accepts the homosexual agenda against the beliefs of most of its Citizens. To change the governments support and actions, followers of Jesus Christ must take a stance and reject the government’s support of Biblical immorality. This stance begins with individual revival and renewal of one’s faith and beliefs.  With this individual revival, church wide revival will lead to political renewal of morality with the election of men and women of integrity and moral clarity.  It can come by no other means. Will you let revival begin in you?

Those are my thoughts for today.  What are yours?
