ecently, something has been brought to my attention that I would like to set straight, right this minute. On a post a few days ago, I linked to a past post to prove a point, only to have something new brought up. So here’s the deal. I couldn’t care less about what nidan or anyone else chooses to do with their lives. I have never seen this man in real life, and have no idea what kind of person he may or may not be. What I do know is that he preaches on his blog that it is not really a sin to have homosexual sex according to the Bible. The entire point of the blog was the following: That is an out and out lie. Period.
Here are the verses which prove this, from the Old Testament to the New:
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Some people like to focus on what Paul said next here, and so would I……….1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(WERE, as in NO LONGER!!!)~~~~~~~~
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

ow, you may choose to believe it is not a sin, and that is fine. God gave us all free will to believe and live any way we choose. However, when you go and try to say that the Bible does not condemn this behavior, I will call you out as the liar you are. Because, when you do that, you are contradicting the Bible and you might as well throw it all out instead of trying to rewrite it to fit your life. That is not how this works. You bend to meet the will of God, you do not bend His Word to meet your own will. That is all.
