Article 377 - What does the Bible Say?

Is unnatural physical union among human beings criminal?

Not really! It is encroaching upon the individual rights of human beings to select our partners for physical union. Orientation towards the same gender is natural. Who can stand against the natural urge? Not even my country’s constitution, let alone my parents, my family, my relatives, my friends and the society at large. I need to be recognized and my pride and honor be restored.

Also revoke all other articles and laws that criminalize activities that encroach upon individual rights – prostitution, pornography, drug abuse, attempt to suicide and a hundred others. Even these “criminals” defined by the society and the constitution commit these “crimes” only because they have natural orientation towards such abominations.

And how about liars and chit (cheat) fund money swindlers, high society criminals that manipulate corporate financial records, woman abusers that hide under the shadow of consented union, child abusers that take advantage of innocence and thousands of such anti-social elements – Don’t they too carry on such unlawful activities just because it seems natural to them. Sounds sarcastic?

Pride or Sin? Justice or Punishment?

Recently, the Pope, the so called head of the Christian church (in fact, he is not – many Bible believing Christians don’t recognize him so) has said, “If God can accept the LGB community, who am I to oppose this?” But, here is what the God of the Bible has to say about the cause and effect of the subject in discussion in Romans 1:18-32…

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things (read ‘idolatry’).

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature (read ‘Lesbian’). Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men (read ‘Gay and/or Bisexual’) committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, un-discerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

God’s wrath pronounces judgment of death, hell and eternal separation from Him on all mankind as mentioned above.

Ultimately, they will be cast away in the lake of fire to spend eternity in hell.

But, this same God has also manifested Himself in Jesus Christ His Son to demonstrate His love for mankind. Jesus bore the punishment for the sin and transgression of all mankind, shed His blood and gave His life on the cross at Calvary (a real place in Israel today) to save me and you and all who believe in His atoning death. He rose the third day to seal the forgiveness He alone can give to everyone who comes to Him.

He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. - Proverbs 24:13.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Rom 6:23.

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. - 1 Tim 1:15.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household. - Acts 16:31.

Assure yourself of eternal life and heaven and enjoy it from right here on earth through a real relationship established with God your Creator through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.
