My findings.... His truth!

Back in April I posted about somethings that have been going on in life and things I have been struggling with.  I was on a mission to find His truth because I was torn in two and life was not going so well.  Well since then life has been crazy in many many ways.  I have done some stupid things but they reminded me of why I left those things to begin with.  I wanted to be sure to share with all you who read my blog about my findings, I couldn't just leave you wondering what has happened.  The big topic of my other post was my sexuality and how it felt to be someone going through such things.  I was unsure if it really was a sin if it really was something Christians should try to turn them selves away from.  Or if it was part of God's plan for us and was perfectly ok, the same a man and wife.  Well I can tell you without a doubt now that I know it is not the way God meant for us to live our lives.  He designed the world in a far better way.   I have been to a Gay Ministry meeting and spent many many hours searching websites and comparing them to what my Bible says and to the Strongs Concordance.  I have talked with two separate Pastors about this, and at one point I thought I knew it was ok and God had made me this way.  It did not take long before I seen how wrong I was.  I almost walked away from my Church altogether.  It's easier to try and justify it than do whats right and turn away from it.   So I would like to go through a verse and see what it means.

  Romans 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.

This is more than likely one of the first verses most people come to when talking about homosexuality.  God made man and woman to work together just the way he made male and female animals.  It is natural for a male and female dove to be together and bring forth life.  The same way it is natural for a man and woman to be together.  If I was to leave the natural use of the woman that would mean I was leaving God's plan for my life.  There are more scriptures in the Bible about this but I will only cover this one for now.  If anyone wants to know more about the others feel free to contact me any time.

Now we can say Paul wrote this section of the Bible but Christ never spoke against this sin in all his teachings and Paul was only a follower of Christ.  Well Jesus Himself did not write the Bible, God moved people to write and they wrote what He lead them to write.  So if we are going to go that route than ALL of the Bible is fake because Jesus never wrote any of it with His hands His disciples wrote the New Testament and Profits wrote the old.  If we try to pick out what parts we don't like then HOLE Bible is lost. 

So if this is against God's plan why are there so many people out there who struggle with it? Were people really born feeling this way?  Satan uses anything he can to attack us and pull us away from God.  He is using this sin just the same as he uses any other sin to keep us from Christ and finding Eternal life and rest in God our Father.  Every single person on this earth has a sin or many sins that they have to fight on a daily basis.  This is the same exact thing, satan trying to pull us down.  I do not believe that or rather should I say I know that people are not born this way.  So why do people feel this way?  Well I believe there are several reasons.  If people are molested or have a traumatic experience, grow up with out a father or mother.  All this things can lead to some one having these desires.  The same way that a drug addict is not born a drug addict.  Something happens in that persons life and they turn to drugs and then get hooked.  This is the same thing and just like drugs or drinking we need to turn to God and find His strength to turn away from it.  This is just a quick update and I can give more insight on the subject if anyone would like to know more.  My email is psalms121@rocketmail.com Now all this being said I still feel that is not ok to act as though gay men and women are less then any other person.  We are all sinners who need God to free us from our sin.  We are all created equal!   Instead we should love them to Jesus and help them find eternal life and rest of a weary soul.  God Bless Dustin

  1. Dustin, I do believe you got it! None of us can control how we feel, but we can control how we respond to it. We are ALL sinners, the only thing that differs is how we sin. But sin is sin. So, homosexuality is no worse than than any other sin, and it can and will be forgiven, just like any other sin, if we only ask, and truly repent. We are not all children of God, but we do all have the opportunity to become children of God, we simply have to accept that He is right. God Bless You!!!
