Proverbs 14:9, “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.” Jeremiah 7:9-10, “Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?”
Jeremiah asked the Israelites what was wrong with them? Will you commit homosexuality and say that you were “born that way,” blaming God? There is nothing new under the sun. Wicked people today are twisting the truth around, changing the truth of God into a lie (Romans 1:25). No one has a “right” to break God's Commandments. No one has a “right” to commit the sin of stealing, coveting or bearing false witness against thy neighbour. No one has a “right” to commit the sin of homosexuality. God hates sin and so should we! We must never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. God loves sinners (Romans 5:8).
No one has a “right” to commit the sin of adultery. Leviticus 20:10, “And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” In America today adultery is openly permitted by the courts. There is no severe penalty, if any. In the state of Maryland adultery is a crime punishable by paying a $10 fine. That is disgusting! What does that say about the government's view of the sacredness of marriage? Whereas God says that adultery is a crime that deserves the death penalty, the state of Maryland only slaps the adulterer with a $10 fine. Proverbs 14:9, “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.”
Man always leans on his carnal vain understanding instead of the truth of God's Living Word unto Life Eternally. Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” The argument that if a trait is "naturally" occurring it should be acceptable to society, is hypocritically only used by the media in regards to homosexuality. The fact is most people do not follow that "logic" in regards to other traits (e.g., alcoholism, drug abuse, stealing, obesity, et cetera). No one advocates that we should celebrate and encourage those traits. So why only sodomy? The truth is homosexuality is "natural" because sinning is "natural" to fallen man. Our culture continues to choose to live in the "gray" when everything is spelled out for us in black and white. A person's God-given free will to choose what to believe, doesn't change THE TRUTH.
Disagreement and discrimination are not the same thing. Unfortunately in the culture in which we live, voicing a difference of opinion is now equated with hate speech. Way too many people today equate disagreement with somebody as being hatred toward them. I can disagree with you and still love you. Flesh says I was born this way; Jesus says you must be born again. Not only are we in control of our actions, but we will also be judged for the choices that we make in life. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
