Homosexuality: What Does The Bible Really Teach?

Homosexuality by D. J. Love, Minister, TSN, SBC upgraded 8-18-2002

..Can

Homosexuals be True Worshippers of YHVH?

.. When a human being becomes a True Believer, that person becomes a "New Creature", and Old "Self-Centered" personalities (desires, lusts, attitudes) fade away. So the question goes well beyond homosexuality. It goes to ALL who have chosen to put their "Will" above YHVH's "WILL." Can a murderer, thief, whore, whoremonger, saxophone playing U.S President or anyone who has ever sinned or is deliberately sinning be a True Believer? ..Well, they certainly have the opportunity to become a True Believer, but unless they become a "New Creature" as a Righteousness Seeker they will be utterly destroyed. Sounds harsh doesn't it? ..But can a Righteous Creator ever become an "AS ONE" Spiritual image with unrighteousness? ..No, not ever. Why? ..Do we not understand the obvious? ..Do we not understand what it is that a "True Believer" actually believes in? . Just for the record, a "True Believer" believes in "The Righteousness of YHVH," and that Righteousness is willing obedience to The Righteous Creator. Who are we to judge "The Righteousness of YHVH?" Are any of us "Self-Existent?"

Isn't YHVH The EL of LOVE? ..Doesn't YHVH love homosexuals too? Please, don't fall into this trap! Yes, (in general) YHVH loves His creation and all those that are a part of that creation (including homosexuals), because YHVH knows that ultimately His creation will yield a fruitful few that will love Him back. YHVH has built into His creation a Factor that will separate the faithful from the faithless. So does YHVH love homosexuals or murderers or the selfish? Technically,

yes, but salvation is not based on just YHVH's love for us (in general); it is, also, based on our (personally) returned love for YHVH. According to YHVH, if you say you love Me, but you don't OBEY me, then you are a LIAR, and the "Love of YHVH" (Holy Spirit) is not in you! However, I will add this, if a person has homosexual tendencies, but does not act on them physically or mentally, but remains uncorrupted OR if an active homosexual becomes permanently inactive and repents of this sin (rejects SELF) against YHVH and remains faithful and obedient to YHVH, then this person or these persons will not have the sin of homosexuality held against them. .. Additionally, the Holy Scriptures say that we are to become "Like YHVH" ("In His Image"); so with this in mind, I can truthfully tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that YHVH is not a homosexual in nature or Spirit. Do not be deceived, homosexuality is "Anti-YHVH" and "Anti-Messiah." YHVH did not create two men or two women and place them into the Garden of Eden. YHVH is very much into reproduction, because that is one of the major purposes of The Meaning of Life.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Messiah Y'Shua, he is a New Creature: Old things are Passed Away; behold, All things are become New.

Ephesians 4:22-24 22 That You Put Off (discard) concerning the former conversation the Old Man (your former self), which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And Be Renewed in the Spirit of Your Mind (Holy Spirit); 24 And that 'You' Put On the New Man, which after (the image of) YHVH is Created in Righteousness, and True Holiness.

Colossians 3:1-10 "IF" you then be risen (Raised Up in Righteous Spirit) with The

Messiah, Seek Those (Righteous) Things Which Are From Above, where The Messiah (Spiritually) sitteth on the right hand of YHVH. 2 Set your Affection on Things Above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Y'Shua, The Messiah, in YHVH. 4 When Y'Shua, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, Inordinate Affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake The Wrath of YHVH cometh on the Children of Disobedience:

Note: Obedience is selfless Love and Trust in YHVH, but Disobedience is trust in self and self-centered lust.

7 In the which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. 8 But now you also Put Off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

.. YHVH is very patient, and He will give the seed of Righteousness a human's lifetime to grow and bear fruit.

2 Corinthians 9:9-10 9 As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; He hath given to the poor: His righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now He (YHVH), that ministereth (Righteous) seed to the sower, both minister bread (Word of YHVH) for your food, and multiply your seed sown (Spreading of the Gospel), and increase the Fruits of your

righteousness;

.. How then can anyone deliberately Disobeying YHVH (and thereby choosing to continually live in Sin) be a True Believer? . . . . . . . They Cannot! They may be "Called" by YHVH, but they Will Not Be Chosen!

Where Are Their Fruits Of Righteousness ?

Romans 1:24-27 24 Wherefore YHVH also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of YHVH into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature (the created) more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Awmane. 26 For this cause YHVH gave them up unto Vile Affections: for even their Women Did Change The Natural into that which is against nature: 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 recompense of their error which was meet (deserved).

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of YHVH? BE NOT DECEIVED: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor Effeminate, nor Abusers of Themselves With Mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit The Kingdom of YHVH (On Earth).

..If

Your Lust For Anyone or Anything On Earth Is Greater

Than Your Love For YHVH, Then You Are Guilty Of Idolatry ! HOMOSEXUALITY according to The Appointed Firstborn Son of YHVH ..Messiah Y'Shua never directly stated that Homosexuality was a sin, and this seems to be the defense established by the liberal minded "Gay Churches". ..They have decided to Ignore the Rest of the Bible, in order to condone their behavior. But Y'Shua states directly that All The Words of YHVH Are To Be Lived By. . . .. Maybe they, also, Pick and Choose The Words of Y'Shua They Want to Follow, and discard the rest.

Matthew 4:3-4 And when the tempter came to Him, He said, If thou be the (appointed) Son of YHVH, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone, but By "Every Word" That Proceedeth Out of The Mouth of YHVH.

.."Every Word". . . Even So, let us examine just the words of Y'Shua. We Will discover that the Words of Y'Shua Say A Lot More Than You May Have Suspected.

Matthew 5:1-2,27-28, & 48 . . . . His Disciples came unto Him: And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,.......Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou Shalt Not

Commit Adultery: But I say unto you, That Whosoever even looks upon a Woman to Lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his Heart. . . . Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. . . . (This is an even harsher understanding of the Seventh Commandment than previously understood, and further emphasizes that YHVH judges the Intent of the Heart or Spirit/mind)

.. Here Messiah states that "Whosoever" ( Male or Female ) even so much as simply looks with LUST commits adultery. . . Y'Shua then went on to state, "In His Heart". . . by so stating, Messiah implies that he anticipates that some Male Disciples (followers of Messiah) will lust after a woman (or women). Y'Shua does not expect True Believers (his followers, for whom the Bible was intended) to be lusting after their own sex, because True Believers (Disciples) are not tempted to lust after the Same Sex. Then he further states, "Be Ye Therefore PERFECT". He expects his disciples to TRY to become "Perfect", just like YHVH ! No Lust at all !

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the Will of my Father which is in heaven.

..Going to church won't save you! Calling upon the name of Y'Shua or Jesus won't save you, Unless you are actively seeking to "Obey" The Will of YHVH; This means that your Heart Felt Love for YHVH (Love is not lust) is responsible for your Righteous actions, and Not because you lust after Eternal Life. You heard me right! Most church goers LUST for Eternal Life, but do not want to become a Righteousness Seeker.

Matthew 9:15 And Y'Shua said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? F

Note: Here Y'Shua is symbolically stating that "He" (A Male) Is A Bridegroom (symbolic Husband to be), And that His Disciples (Children Of YHVH/Representing His Church) Are his Bride (symbolized as a Female, Wife, Woman, and NOT a groom or male). . . . Again Y'Shua Defines The Relationship of "MAN With WOMAN" In Marriage. . . . Since Y'Shua is the "Spiritual Image of YHVH" In The Flesh, and Since Y'Shua Always Does The "WILL" Of YHVH. . . . Then "What Y'Shua Has Stated" IS The Will Of YHVH. (See Matthew 7:21 above)

Matthew 19:4-6 (The Obvious Will Of YHVH) And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He (YHVH), who created them at "The Beginning", Made them Male and Female, and said, for this cause shall "A Man (male)" leave father and mother, and shall cleave to "His (female) Wife": and they two together shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more two together, but one flesh. What YHVH Has Joined Together Let No Man (gay or straight) put Asunder.

.. It is YHVH's WILL that A MALE and A FEMALE become "ONE FLESH". .. THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGES HERE ! HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT THE WILL OF YHVH. AND ONLY THOSE THAT DO THE WILL OF YHVH WILL ENTER INTO YHVH's KINGDOM !!!

.. THEREFORE, HOMOSEXUALS ARE NOT TRUE WORSHIPPERS of YHVHF, and Messiah Y'Shua Confirms It !

Homosexuality is Anti-creation!
