Homosexuality

As time goes by, homosexuality (LBGTQ) has been a very critical controversial Christian issue. In my opinion, it is one subject that affects people mentally, physically, and spiritually. I understand that this subject is very sensitive, and probably the most controversial Christian issue prominent today , but I hope that this blog post can help you look at homosexuality in a different way, and in that thought process, you can draw up a new and concise conclusion about this issue.  In scriptures, homosexuality is brought up  four times in the old testament and three times in the new testament. However, I will only focus in on one scripture, which is the common verse people refer to about homosexuality. This passage is located in the old testament, In Levitus (20:13) it reads, "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

The three videos below will go in depth  about this scripture and many other verses concerning this matter; giving reasoning to why homosexuality is or  is not a sin.


The first video is called "Homosexuality is not a sin or an abomination." However, the video is from the deleted Scenes of the Documentary "We're all Angels" about Pop Duo Jason and De Marco. This video discusses the struggles many  gay Christians face, the misinterpretation of passages that bring up homosexuality and how these verse came to be seen as anti gay.

The next video is called "Is homosexuality a sin" and features Pastor Mark Driscoll who is a pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. In this video he discusses the beginning of creation and how God made man and women to be one. He doesn't isolate homosexuality, but puts that issue in line with all other sexual sin. He emphasis that he will never say that homosexuality is okay, but he also says that he will never say that homosexuality rises above other sins because all sin is equal. "The gay guy that comes and sits next to the couple who is dating and sleeping together is neither less or more righteous," Driscoll said.

 

 The last video is called "Homosexuality is a choice, not genetic" which featured on CBN and focuses on a women named Janet Boynes who suffered, but was delivered (saved) from homosexuality. Boynes lived a homosexual lifestyle for 14 years until an encounter in a grocery parking lot.

Unlike the last two video, this video, in my opinion, shows more of God's love and what he does with a heart that feels troubled. This video really shows transformation in a real way, not forced or condemned.

In Conclusion, in John (3:16-17) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."

There's one side, there's the other, than there's the truth.
