Were You Born Homosexual?

By Brian Parker That is a good question. A question that I am not honestly qualified to answer. While I somewhat doubt the existence of a homosexual gene, I cannot prove or disprove that one exists. What I can prove though is that you are, without a doubt, not reborn homosexual. When I speak of rebirth I am talking about being reborn through Christ. John 3:3 - 8 3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." 4 "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" 5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." Here are some passages from the Bible that speak out against homosexuality and the sexually immoral. Leviticus 18:22 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 20:13 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. Deuteronomy 23:17 17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel 1 Corinthians 6:9 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, Romans 1:24-27 24 Wherefore God 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 God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 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: 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. The passages that I have quoted are from the Old and New Testaments. One who does not try to pervert the word can easily discern these for themselves. The Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin unto God. One important difference in these scriptures is that in the Old Testament this act was punishable unto death. Before Jesus died for our sins we were judged solely by God's law. There was no way for the sinner to reconcile themselves unto God as we are not even worthy of his forgiveness. When Jesus came into play everything changed. Once he died if we are reborn through him we can be washed clean of any sin. When we are forgiven the sin is gone. It is as if you never committed it. This does not mean that one would never feel the desire for a homosexual relationship again or the temptation to commit any sin. It means that it is just that, a temptation. As me must try to avoid other temptations, a homosexual person must remove themselves from the environment or situation that may lead them to sin again. Q. What can I do if I am a homosexual and want to repent?
A. Like any sin homosexuality will definitely be hard to overcome. The first and most important thing to do is ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Secondly remove yourself from the homosexual environment that you have been living in and seek help. Find a church that preaches the Word of God from the Bible. Speak with a Christian minister or Christian counselor. These people can lead you in the right direction and put you in contact with someone who understands your situation. If you wish to change, please do not be afraid of telling a Christian minister about your problem. Q. What if my minister or a church leader is homosexual or promotes homosexual acceptance.
A. This person should be considered a false prophet. Do not follow this person as they are polluting the Word and will only lead you to darkness. GET AWAY! If you are strong enough in God to minister unto this person please try to save them. If not, find someone who might have stronger faith than yours. God does not wish that anyone should perish and that person is included. Let us pray Heavenly Father I ask that you would guide our church and government leaders to seek and do your Word. Please bless people that may be involved with homosexuality that they may come and seek your forgiveness and turn from their ways. Please protect your church and it's people from those who wish to pollute it. I love you Heavenly Father and thank you for everything.
For I ask it in Jesus sweet and Holy name.
