Recent reports have suggested that gay marriage is supported by the Holy Bible, but that is a lie. Homosexuality is deemed an abomination, which is supported by the Holy Scriptures.
The gay marriage issue has become a full-fledge war against God and morality over the last few years. Gay marriage proponents claim that this is not a religious issue, but an issue regarding equality, however when attempting to use the Holy Bible to support their claims, they have brought Christianity into the fight. If this weren’t about religion and more specifically about Christianity, then why would they want to use the Holy Bible in an attempt to validate gay marriage?
The Holy Bible is the literal Word of God and God’s Word that cannot be changed by human hands. It is impossible for an unbeliever to be able to read the Holy Bible and understand the Word of God in a supernatural way that only comes through the Holy Spirit. This is the exact reason why the unbeliever quotes the Holy Scriptures out of its context.
Here is what the literal Word of God really teaches about homosexuality (also called Lasciviousness) and marriage. The following lesson has been divided up, so that the message is more digestible. At the top of each of the nine teachings (but one lesson in all) are highlighted in the bold black headings and the lesson is continued according to the truth of the Holy Scriptures.
(Note: That some of the scriptures appear in more than one lesson, but it is only because they have relevance to the lesson being taught. God reproves his own word through his own word, and it is neither my duty nor any other person’s duty to change, add or remove any of the Lord God’s teachings within the Word of God.)
First Marriage (God’s Creation of Adam and Eve)

Jude 7 “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
This concludes this teaching according to the Holy Scriptures.
God has made it abundantly clear, that marriage is between one man and one woman and the marriage, according to the scriptures are; Mk. 10.9 “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” For nowhere in the Holy Scriptures does God teach that fornication or lasciviousness (homosexuality) is either permitted or tolerable or will not escape the judgment of the Lord God.
Men who have unnatural affection for another men, or women who have unnatural affection for another women, is consider an abomination in the eyes of the Lord God. Homosexuality is considered to be impure, immoral, lasciviousness, lustful, uncleanness, and an abomination according to the Holy Scriptures (The Word of God). The same is true for either men or women engaging in bestiality (having sex with animals). Both are referred to in Jude 7, which is “going after strange flesh”.
The scriptures used to reprove this message were taken from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, because God himself reproves his own word with his own word. Of course, if you do not believe in God or do not believe that the Holy Scriptures are the literal Word of God, then this is what the scriptures calls an “atheist” and that is another teaching altogether.
However, just because a person does not believe in God doesn’t mean that these persons are not responsible for their own actions and moral behavior and they are still subject to the Law of God. No one can escape God’s judgment, unless they have repented their sins and have accepted the salvation of Jesus Christ “, and has been cleansed in the blood of Jesus Christ”, in which he has shed for our sins.

It is this sort of thinking that makes people who actually live in this century run away from christianity in their droves. Jesus would be ashamed by this message of hate.
Good God! -
The people running away in groves as you have put it, are actually running away from the Truth, which is the Word of God. The message that you are referring to as hate, is actually the Word of God and only those people who do not have a real relationship with Jesus Christ would consider this hate speech. If a person really knows God on God’s terms, then these people also know that God made rules, so that mankind would not destroy itself, and so that we can know just how perfect, pure and loving our Lord God really is.
Actually, what you and so many other people like you actually hate is not Christians in and of themselves, but you and others like you hate the God that Created you. The Holy Scripture is the literal Word of God and does not support gay marriage, no matter how badly you do not like it. The truth is undebatable.
I am always ambivalent about literal interpretations of the Bible. As the father of a gay son whose “wedding” I would gladly attend I believe that love is the most important thing to consider here. If – and I hope he does – he finds a man that he can spend the rest of his life with and with the happiness that involves, can increase the commonwealth – as a human being, culturally, professionally and societally then I feel I have little space to judge him because of his sexuality. Not that I would judge him on that basis if he chooses to lead a selfish and self-centred life either!
The “wedding” was in inverted commas as here in the UK we have Civil Partnerships which allow same sex couples almost the same legal rights as heterosexual ones. It is nothing to do with religion as when politics and religion are intertwined we would get a theocracy – like Iran – which no-one really wants however many times they have been ‘born’. The legislation here has as much to do with equality and liberty and personal happiness (and the ability to pursue it) as any new legislation I have come across in the last twenty years. Hurrah for ‘gay marriages’!
Before anyone asks – yes, I would agree with civil partnerships even if my family was 100% straight! Call me an old dyed in the wool liberal, if you will! Or maybe I just want everyone to have the same chances to fulfil their life’s potential – and a union with one we love is one of those things that helps us along the way!
I loved the West Wing TV show. The link below sums up my feeling about literal interpretations of the Bible…
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rHaVUjjH3EI
Nelson, I love a lot of what you write. With the best will in the world, however, I cannot agree with what you say here (even without going in to the theological pro-homosexual elements of the Bible). However, your right to say and believe what you like is an absolute given for me – I just hope you allow for the other side of the coin as well!
The truth is *always* debatable, Nelson! If not, then that really does spell the end of our culture. That way, there be monsters!
“I’d like to teach the world to sing”… everybody join in now!
to the first commentator,deliberate human rebellion and their love of darkness is what makes many people “run away” as you say.
In order to have a relationship with God, instead of running away people need to repent of their humanistic,self serving,depraved and sinful ways. Jesus came to seek and save,but people have to be willing and tender to His call.
Many people due to callousness of heart have chosen not to repent,and because of their own rebellion they condemn themselves, God set his laws in place to protect his children, but when people willfully go against those laws written on their hearts, they bring about their own destruction.
Nelson’s message is of truth,Homosexuality is a sin and no amount of debating or attacking him or this article will change that. God does not hate people,God hates sin,and while sin can be forgiven God is not mocked,He knows whether repentance is genuine or whether someone is just giving him lip service.
Heaven and Earth will pass away but God’s word will never perish.
R.J. in the end your “opinion” about gay marriage will be irrelevent, God already called homosexuality an abomination, so people are without excuse if they deliberately and willfully walk in disobedience. Nobody will be able to say “in my opinion homosexuality(or gay marriage) is ok”
By supporting something that God already called an abomination,people are in essence slappig God in the face and calling Him a liar, keep in mind we will all give account for what we do here on earth.
As for your son, my advice is train up your child in the way he should go and when he is old he shall not depart from it.
Train him in the light of God’s word instead of according to the lusts and abominations of this world
correction to a spelling error in my comment above I meant to write “By supporting something that God already called an abomination,people are in essence slapping God in the face and calling Him a liar”
Joey
Thanks for your, er, advice. My son is full grown and leads a productive, useful existence. His sexuality to me is an irrelevance! As long as he helps add to the happiness and development of mankind through his everyday actions I will be happy.
Men wrote the Bible. God didn\’t. Go figure.
Right, I didn\’t mean to start or even add to a debate. Just putting in my pennysworth!
Hi R J Evans,
No, you are not disagreeing with me R J, but you are disagreeing with God on two fronts. First, you are calling God a lier, because there is no place in the Word of God that is pro-homosexuality and secondly; the Truth is not debatable, because if you know its source (God himself), then you know it is Truth that is reliable.
Theories can be questioned, argued and debated day-in and day-out, because the source is unknown and its final resolution is also unknown. But, the Word of God, is the Truth of God and God being the Creator of all things, and He that is unchanging in his ways is reliable to all born-again Christians.
The Scriptures were taken from the Holy Bible and both the Old Testament and New Testament reprove the actual Word of God, and not a confirmation of man’s dispirit attempt at changing the Word of God, so to compliment their chosen uncleanness acts of immorality in their own eyes and hearts.
If you claim that the Word of God supports pro-homosexuality, then quote the scriptures that you have and the scriptures that reprove the scriptures that you are given as examples. I am most certain that whatever scriptures that you are referring to, are and have been purposely taken out of their true context, so to vainly attempt to change the Truth of the Word of God, so to justify immorality in the hearts and minds of man of after his own kind. I am not saying that you have purposely attempted to change the Word of God, but more likely your teachers have.
Sincerely,
Nelson Doyle
Hi R J Evans -
You quoted “Men wrote the Bible. God didn’t. Go figure.”
Actually, if you really, truly believe that the Bible was written by the cleverness of man, then you truly do not know God. For if you say that you know God, but then say that God did not inspire men to scribe His Word through the Holy Spirit, then by what source have you been taught about God? Because, if God’s Word isn’t God’s Word, then how would you know how to know God?
If you say that through Grace by faith, you are saved. Or, that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life, and let no man enter lest it is by the entrance door(Jesus Christ). And, virtually agree with some or most parts of the Bible, but not all parts, then what exactly do you believe, because if not all of it is sound, reliable truth, then none of it can be deemed the truth.
Again, we are exiting the issue of homosexuality and moving onto another subject that is also supported in the Word of God as being Truth, and that is “atheist”-ism. I am currently working on an article about what an atheist is, according the Word of God and reproving the Word of God with the Word of God. This way it is not my words, but all God’s Word supporting God’s Word.
This is one subject of many (past, present, future) articles that we are just going to have to disagree about. Oh, I do not judge other sinners, because I am a sinner too. There will be a time that we all will be judged and this judge reserves absolute authority (and, not power given to Him by his own creation/man) and God the Father will judge us all in the end.
I have a cousin that is gay. I don’t love him any least than before I learned of his homosexuality. The judgment is the Lord’s and so I pray that he repents of his uncleanness and accepts the Jesus Christ to receive forgiveness and salvation. He knows that I will not support his decision, but I remind him all of the time, that it is his individual right to exercise his right to make choices (Godly or Godless choices), because God did create us with “Free Will”, but no matter what choices that he makes, he must still accept the responsibilities of his choices in the end.
Sincerely,
Nelson Doyle
Thank you for boldly speaking Truth Nelson, there are far too many people out there that live by the “if it feels good do it” philosophy, far too many supposed “teachers” that seek only to tickle their listeners egos,ears,and further humanistic,lustful agendas instead of giving Godly wisdom.
A small thought for the masses to think on,Sin may be fun for a season,but there is always a price. God is Longsuffering,but as was previously stated He is not mocked.
We will all give account, “As it is appointed unto man once to die,but after this the judgement” that,Nelson’s dear readers is an inescapable truth.
Judge not lest Ye be judged!!
Nelson is right on this one.
Christianity – the Biblical verses and God – forbids gay relationships.
In Romans Chapter 1 verse 24 to 27 – it says:
“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator – who is forever praised. Amen,
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions.”
The passage continues to say in verses 28-32:
“Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.
They are gossipers, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these things but also approve of those who practice them.”
So there you go. Bible clearly spells out what God clearly disapproves of.
Yet God still loves humanity and would gladly accept anyone who repents and comes back to him.
Good job Nelson on writing this courageously.
~Ebey
Thank you Nelson for this comprehensive study on what the Bible says about marriage. Notice that people who claim that God does not condemn homosexuality never quote verses from the Bible to support their claim. This is one topic on which God’s word is very clear.
A culture does not make progress by “freeing” people to live in increasingly immoral lifestyles. God’s truth does not change to accommodate popular opinion – Christianity is not a democracy where the members vote on what we will believe and teach.
Homosexuality is worse than animal act. See, animal always do the truth way, mates with different gender (sex)! When Prophet Luth’s people did this thing, he was very mad. If church in England and Dutch (Netherland)said that this was legal action and couple of homo could marry in church (legally), that was weird! When Obama said this Ok, He was two face (hypocrisy!
Al Qur’an very restricted to against homosexuality!
Allah cursed this act!
Jammalakallaah!
I mean Al Qur’an very restricted against homosexuality!
Allah curses this act!
Jammalakallaah!

Good job, Nelson. The Word of God, the Bible, contains the absolute truth, which cannot be compromised in any way! The problem nowadays is that some preachers interpret Scripture to fit what their congregations itch to hear. They made light of sin. They emphasize God’s love and mercy, and de-emphasize God’s hatred toward sin, His holiness and justice. In fact, they created another god altogether based on what they want their god to be, contradicting everything about what God has revealed about Himself through His Word. Thank you for standing up to the truth of God’s Word.
Post # 11 by confused states ….
“Judge not lest Ye be judged!!”
All sin is pre-judged by God, so if you are referring to Nelson, he is not judging. He has given ample Holy Scripture about the truth of marriage.
In quoting Holy Scripture, he has presented the Word of God. The Word of God is pure and powerful.
Nelson, thank you so much for this excellent article. May God richly bless you. The issue of marriage and the family is a very important one. God has clearly shown in the Holy Scriptures that marriage is of one man and one woman. Amen!
The skeletons in men’s closets are trumpeted to the world by the pseudo-sexuality of their sons. No man’s son is less than his image, in some aspect. – Tertius
Excellant article. My husband and I are working on a new website and are almost ready to open it for just this sort of article post on our Ekklisia Church of God website. I will keep you in mind and maybe you can put this on our website once we get it up and running. Keep in touch.
The greatest gift of all is the gift of life and only a man and a woman can produce that gift of life!
In the bible it says to love all mankind! It also states that only God himself has the right to judge others. It also states that you should treat others how you wish to be treated!
I agree. God’s wish is for us to reproduce and live on, like he started in the first place. Gay Marriage makes it impossible to have children. So, yes your right!!!
but I know a few homosexual ppl and they are not bad ppl. So, they still do not deserve to go to hell for all eternity because of who they are attracted too.
Wow Nelson. I must say that I am impressed by your devotion to your belief in Christianity and devotion to passing along the Good News. Reading the comments took almost as much time as reading the article. Being a Christian requires you to act on what is right and to speak by the Holy Spirit, not by what your worldy wants are. You have done that well in this article. Gay marriage is a major issue in America, as well as the world today. And you are right, only those who have accepted Christ into their hearts can interpret the Word for what it is because only they have their hearts open to it. Whoever says you judged them has no idea what they are talking about and anyone who chooses to live or make the decision to live an imoral life that contradicts the Word of God does not have Christ in their heart. And until they do they will reject and hate the Truth. I’m not judging, it just is what it is.
God Bless Nelson and thank you for sharing such an important study. I will pass this along for sure.
So, you never gets up from hermaphrodite’s article?
So, please see also my article: Be a Man!
Don’t forget to give comment (if you like it).
If you are not you must still like it!
Be a Man, Nelson!
I have always found it interseting that you Bible toting “Christians” who claim to love everyone go to such great lengths to condemn everyone using the verses that seem to meet your needs but never use them in the full context of the chapter your pulling them from. I was just wondering why that is?
I also love how you change the definition of words to meet your end the following is from dictionary.com if you care to check the referance because the word Lasciviousness does NOT mean HOMOSEXUALITY. …
las⋅civ⋅i⋅ous /ləˈsɪviəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [luh-siv-ee-uhs] Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective 1. inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd: a lascivious, girl-chasing old man.
2. arousing sexual desire: lascivious photographs.
3. indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness: a lascivious gesture.
Check for yourself Nelson you may learn something.
Hi Just Observing -
Homosexuality is in fact a lewd sexual desire that the Bible describes as Lascivious. The desire to have sex with a person of the same sex is not what God teaches us that He will accept as good. In fact, sex between two people of the opposite sex that are not married is also a sinful and lewd sexual act and this act is called fornication.
The Bible is the Word of God and it is God’s Word and not my word that I quoted from in this article. You can argue that Christians are suppose to love everyone, but we are not suppose to love everything a person chooses to do. And, if you feel offended or threatened once hearing the Word of God spoken to you, then it means that your conscience is being convicted by the Truth and it’s trying to tell you that you need to know Jesus Christ, so that your sins can be forgiven and receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Matter of fact, God hates sin, so if God hates sin does that also mean that He hates the sinner? No, God does not hate the sinner, but only hates the sin that we do. God sent Jesus Christ into the world to (to save it, not to condemn it) die for all of our sins (past, present and future sin) and Jesus Christ indeed died, was buried and on the third day rose to life again, so that it was made possible in God’s eyes to forgive our sins. Although, in order to receive forgiveness (Yes, even for homosexual acts) a person must truly believe in Jesus Christ and ask God to forgive them of their sin and to accept Jesus Christ into their heart as their savior. After doing this, they are made born-again and cannot ever lose the salvation that God (Jesus Christ) has given to them, but God does know who really, truly are accepting Jesus Christ as their savior and which people do not really believe in Him and have chosen to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
I have yet to find a person who supports homosexuality and make claims that the Bible supports this type of lifestyle to quote the scriptures that provide proof that God approves of this lifestyle. Instead, I find people who do not believe in Jesus Christ attempting to use the Bible (Word of God) to justify their homosexual lifestyle. It is not supported in the Word of God – God calls it sin and unless you have accepted Jesus Christ (God) into your heart, then there is no way for you to understand the Word of God in the way that God wants you to understand Him.
Remember, all sin can be forgiven by God except for one sin that is. The only sin that God has said was unforgivable is rejecting His Son, Jesus Christ as your savior, so with this in mind, the sin of homosexuality is forgivable, too.
I do love my neighbor and those of us Christians that loves others, also love to share the Word of God with those that we love, so that they will know the Truth (Word of God – Jesus Christ). Jesus Christ offers forgiveness of our sins and gives us eternal life with Him in Heaven and it is completely free and all you or anyone else need to do to receive it, is believe in and accept Jesus Christ as your savior. That’s it! No circus acts of service or going to church every day or visiting a priest to ask for forgiveness for your sin – no, just accept Jesus Christ as your Savior (God) and He’ll take care of the rest for you.
Note: I cannot judge myself for the sin that I have done, so if I cannot judge myself, then I cannot judge anyone else either. Only God (Jesus Christ) can judge us and either reward us with eternal life and forgiveness of our sin or punish us and send us to hell for rejecting Jesus Christ and the salvation that only Jesus Christ can give us.
Now this is truth that you can rely on.
Sincerely,
Nelson Doyle
Nelson,
you have stated as fact that “Laciviosness” by definition is homosexuality. In fact I have shown you it is not. By defininition it is only the commission of a lewd act. You have spent you time in your responce spewing the same responce that you give to everyone and I am sure I will get the same responce to this. Science has shown that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people are different from heterosexuals such as yourself and that they are born that way. I do not expect a nerrow minded individual as yourself to change yourmind. Nor do I expect that any further explaination will change it either. My only point was that you sir made a mistake in your definition and that you, as you have accused those you attack, have taken a few verses out of context. Grabbing one verse out of a chapter of verses and then going to another book and doing the same is taking these same verses out of their context to fit what you want them to say. I can use some of the same verses you used to make it seem okay for a man to beat his wife in domestic violence and by the scriptures you quoted by your bible she is bound by your loving god to stay with that man because she can only leave him if she finds out he is cheating on her and has commited adultry. Stop listening to what your bible teachers are telling you my boy. Go look for yourself you will see that there are many things you fail to understand and beating people over the head with a bible is not the answer to any debate.
Hi Just Observing -
Homosexuality is a lewd and unnatural act that does not serve the purpose of God’s (Jesus Christ) design and which is a sin in God’s eyes. Homosexuals cannot produce new life during their sexual acts and God created sex (male and female), so that we could produce new life. Homosexuals can adopt, but adoption does not make having sex with the same sex ok in the eyes of God. It is still a sin.
I am a devote born-again Christian and you’re right, science will not change my mind, because I find that the Word of God (Jesus Christ) is absolute truth, perfect truth, dependable truth and unchanging truth. Science is not.
Science can only study what God has created, but cannot duplicate what God has created out of nothing. Science facts today may be disproven tomorrow, but God’s Word and God’s promises are unchanging and forever.
Science claims that homosexuals are born homosexual, but the Word of God in the Book of Romans teaches us that people would make excuses for their sin. I believe in God (Jesus Christ) and not the judgment of man.
You do not understand how to read and study the Living Word of God, because it is very obvious that you are not a born-again Christian. To know God (Jesus Christ) you must go to Him on His terms and not on your own terms. Once you believe in and have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, then God will send His Holy Spirit to live inside of you, and then your eyes and heart will be opened to receive God’s knowledge (supernatural intelligence and knowledge), so that you can understand God’s Holy Word and Promises to you. Until then, it would be better that you not to try to disprove to power of God’s Word, because it is obvious that you do not know your opponent at all.
The Bible isn’t meant to be read like you would read a novel, from the first page to the last page. Of course, that is where you would begin as a newborn Christian. After some time spent in prayer and being guided by the Holy Spirit, then God will start revealing Himself to you by teaching you to read the His Word (Holy Bible) in the way that the Holy Spirit (God) is leading your heart. Remember, on God’s terms you will know God and have a personal relationship with God.
God’s Word is forever. Time cannot destroy it. Man cannot erase it out from the very foundation of the earth.
Science is affected by time. Man can shape and mold scientific results to serve their own selfish interests. Science cannot make a human being out of nothing and man cannot make honey without bees and science cannot create a bee without using nothing to start with. Science can only at best try to explain how things in nature works, but it cannot explain where it all came from. Even the Big Bang theory had to have material to use to do the things in which some scientists believed had happened, but still God had to create the material that had to be used for the creation process that the scientist are purposing.
Science is a study, but some people worship science like a religion. Those people are usually the same people who are all up-in-arms about Jesus Christ (God) and Christianity, because they all know that if they are wrong and if Jesus Christ is real, then they are going to be powerless and will be held accountable by God for their sin.
Believe it, Jesus Christ is real and alive and will be returning very soon. God did not send his Son Jesus Christ into the world to condemn it, but to save it. God (Jesus Christ) loves you and I so much that He sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ into the world to die for our sin, so that if anyone should call upon the name of Jesus Christ can be forgiven for their sins and have everlasting life with Him.
Salvation is a gift that only Jesus Christ can give to you. It is free to receive. There are no strings attached after receiving it. Although, you still must repent your sins and ask Jesus Christ into your heart, and then you will receive salvation and become a new creature in the eyes of God. You will be born again.
Jesus Christ (God) can forgive any sin except for one and that is; the only unforgivable sin is, the rejection of Jesus Christ as God. Jesus Christ will only save those people who put their trust and faith in Him and ask Him to be their savior.
I would not suggest putting too much faith into science, because in the very near future, God teaches that there is going to be a great tribulation unlike never before seen on earth and unlike anything the world will ever see again. God is fixing to allow man to have their way here on earth and in nature, things are going to happen so fast that no science will be able to do anything about it.
In the Great Tribulation, the sun will be darkened and no light will be able to shine upon the earth for a relatively long period of time, and also, God is going to instruct His angels to stop the wind from blowing for an extended period of time. One-third of the earth will be burnt up, one-third of the people will die of starvation, sickness and plague. There will be a one world government, an one world religion (a false religion) and an one world economic system where the government (Government of the Antichrist) will require everyone to receive a number (microchip implant) and mark (tattoo) on their right hand or forehead, and if anyone should not have the number and the mark, then they will be unable to buy and sell or get a job without it. However, if anyone should accept the number and the mark, then God teaches that these people will be judged and casted into the Lake of Fire.
Remember this, God does not want to send anyone to Hell and the Lake of Fire. He created this place for Satan and the fallen angels and not for humans. However, God will not allow a sinner to enter His Kingdom on their own terms, but on His terms and we have already addressed what His terms are. If God wanted to destroy us, then He could have done it, but instead, He sent Jesus Christ to die, be buried and resurrected to life for our sins in our place, so that we could have a relationship with Him. Without Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then there is no other way to receive Salvation, forgiveness and eternal life with God (Jesus Christ). Jesus Christ is God.
If you reject God (Jesus Christ), then on Judgment Day, you will be rejected by God. God will send you to the place in which you have choose to spend eternity, which would be in the Lake of Fire. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, then on Judgment Day, you will not be standing before God alone to represent your case, but Jesus Christ will represent you before God and you will spend eternity with God in Heaven (God’s Everlasting Kingdom).
I will not debate the issue of Homosexuality anymore with you, because you are only able to argue your points using your limited world knowledge and understanding. And, I am seeing the truth of the issue, which source is the Holy Spirit, in whom God sent into my heart and life. I am able to use the spiritual knowledge that only God (Jesus Christ) can give to me. You and I and others, we not be able to agree on this issue today, tomorrow, or never.
Remember, Jesus Christ is not rejecting you or hiding from you, however you are rejecting Him and oh, you cannot hide yourself from Him. To accept or reject Jesus Christ as your Lord God and Savior is your choice and God is going to hold each and everyone of us accountable for what we choose and do with our time here on Earth during this age. People can make you do a lot of things, but whether you choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or you choose to reject Jesus Christ altogether, is your choice to make and no one can force you to choose something that is against your will, because no man knows the truth that lies in your heart, but God does know these things.
Sincerely,
Nelson Doyle
Hi Just Observing,
You are relying on the intelligence and reasoning and definitions that man has placed on the word “lascivious” and I am relying on God’s definition of the word.
Look at it this way, there are people who are not Christians claiming that there is no God and people must put their faith in Science. There are other people claiming to be Christians, who are teaching that there is more than one way to go to heaven. There are other people who claim that everyone will go to heaven. There are people in the church that teach people that they must confess their sin to a priest or perform charity, service to the church (mowing grass, cleaning, etc) or they could lose their salvation.
All of these people are wrong and are lying. These people have attempted to change the Word of God to suit their own purposes. God will deal with these people in His own time. If you want to know God, then you must go to Him on His terms.
Sincerely,
Nelson Doyle
Actually,
The Holy Bible, Al Qur’an, Taurat, Zabur Do Not Support Gay Marriages
You can get more information in my article,”Be a Man” (whom someone had put a comment that my article was a disaster because of grammar but you would know that Nelson was not too much false in this sentence to say that this was only a lascivious.
He was right to say that this was only a false way to express libido of sex in reasons …those you could find them in my article biologically.
Alhamdulillaah, I had gotten some good responses about homosexual in my article now.
I’m not including person who says that there is no God.
What I had said that:
“I only have one God and my God’s name is Allah.”
Just Observing, why don’t you make something better than this?
Islam can describe better than all these stuffs!
I don’t want to make debating in this forum but I have made poetry about unforgivable sin.
The unforgivable sin is ally Allah with the other else (musyrik) or worship to the other thing or things except Allah.
Just Observing, you could not accuse someone had done commit adultery as likely as you accused Maryam (Maria) did commit adultery with God because she was not!
She was virgin. Isa SAW was born from Maryam (Maria) as a gift.
We could not accuse someone had done commit adultery as likely as you accused Maryam (Maria) did commit adultery with God because she did not do that!
Love is not the most important thing to be defended because we must keep our heart as good as possible only to people whom allowed by Allah.
The biggest war of human’s soul is to protect his/her soul and heart from forbidden love. That’s what Muhammad SAW taught to muslim.
“If you reject God (Allah), then on Judgment Day, you will be rejected by Allah. God will send you to the place in which you have choose to spend eternity, which would be in the Lake of Fire or hell. When you accept Isa SAW as your Savior, then on Judgment Day, you will not be standing before God alone to represent your case, but Isa SAW will represent you before God and you will spend eternity with God in Heaven (God’s Everlasting Kingdom). Plus, Muhammad SAW the only man who can ask to Allah for your absolution.”
It is silly if you think become murtad from Islam because there are many ways to enter heaven. We all must correct to choose our religion first, then, later the ways to enter heaven will we through easily in that one religion.
We can not enter the heaven if we only spoil ourselves by sitting and waiting the end of the day and stay easy because you think that someone has given his soul to you.
Isa was stalked by Jewish, then, you thought he was crossed willingly?
No way. That was not the truly history.
If you think that going to a masjid is only a circus, so you are the clown if you do not go to the masjid.
I even had just found that word (lascivious) in my dictionary, then, I was made article directly.
I don’t even know that the word “lascivious” has a negative meaning because it is very different the meaning in my dictionary with what Just Observing has just said.
What will be happen to my article because I want to tell to everybody about lascivious kiss with my husband?
What will happen to my article because I want to tell to everybody about lascivious kiss with my husband?
Unfortunately, I can not prove that Nelson steal my idea.
Alhamdulillah, there is still somebody reading my article “Lascivious Kiss” today perhaps that happens because I fast advertisement here.
I meant:
The biggest war of human’s soul is to protect and keep his/her soul and heart from libido, for instance avoid ourselves from forbidden love.
That’s what Muhammad SAW taught to muslim.
Will I be the last commentator here?
I meant I fastened my “advertisement” accidentally.
“No man knows the truth that lies in your heart, but God does know these things.”
Yes, God knows about the truth but man will know the truth after God tells us the truth. That’s why I say that Allah love us
Allah love all of us but only care to muslim. That’s what I meant.
Even from an immunological point of view, the body itself considers homosexual acts to be disordered. For instance, there are substances in seminal fluid called “immuno-regulatory macromolecules” that send out “signals” that are only understood by the female body, which will then permit the “two in one flesh” intimacy required for human reproduction. When deposited elsewhere, these signals are not only misunderstood, but cause sperm to fuse with whatever somatic body cell they encounter. This fusing is what often results in the development of cancerous malignancies. (”Sexual Behavior and Increased Anal Cancer”, Immunology and Cell Biology 75 (1977); 181-183))
I wonder how a person who believes in Bible(we muslims believe, its changed) can be a homosexual? Its another issue that you don’t like Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) and claim to follow Prophet Jesus(Isa, peace be upon him), but your actions speaks of treachery.
If things are so metaphoric to you, imagine if the creator declares the heavens to be metaphoric for you. Firstly its you people who write a book out of the holy one given to Prophet Jesus(Isa, peace be upon him) and then you reject all that its says unless it matches your desires.
Wasn’t the first commandment “Go forth and multiply?” A lot of the Bible concentrates on seed sowing and the agricultural metaphors in the Bible are useful since it makes no sense to ’sow seed in a barren place’ (gay sex.) No multiplication there. I’m not homophobic, I know the Bible doesn’t support gay marriages, but what I can’t understand is why churches ordain gay clergymen when it is so contrary to the Bible they are expected to go teach. People really pick and choose when they read the Bible – believe the bits they like and ignore the bits they don’t like. Sin and salvation are dirty words in today’s society.
