We have increasing reports of open homosexuals, men admitting with pride that they are homosexual ...
This can trouble us and grieve us.
I think the Holy Spirit spoke something to me to allow me to handle this ... What I heard is: "Is is
worse to be homosexual than it is to be a fornicator?"
Both
will be destroyed by God in judgment in many cases ... some will be
saved by God and repent if God reveals the truth to such ... After repenting, they will not continue in "this sin" ... Jesus told the woman taken in adultery to go, and sin no more ... Jn. 4 ... sin no more ... don't do this sin again ...
So when God opens the eyes of the homosexual, fornicator, or adulter, then that person will flee that sin and go in the way of God. And some will be saved.
Certainly we who belong to God do not approve homosexual acts just as we do not approve sex outside of marriage which is fornication.
But all around us today we see the world approving fornication. Now we are seeing the world approve homosexuals. But we know these acts are sins and we would not approve such. (Romans 1)
And we know the following truth:
And we know the following truth:
I Cor. 6 ... 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, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And 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.
We know when these things increase in the world, we draw nearer the return of Jesus. When the cup of iniquity is full, the end comes, thus our redemption. We look forward to that new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2 Peter 3
In meantime, we turn from such and focus on stories of good report as Paul said to do.
Phil. 4:8 ... Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
