“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness!” Isa. 5:20

One of the fastest growing sins today !!!

 Media Bias ~ Politically Correct  Seek to gain acceptability and approval  Claim that it is an “alternative” life style

Confusion with some in the church  Do not know if they should oppose  Young people being indoctrinated  Not sure that it is wrong

Genesis 19 - Sodom - Wickedness caused God to destroy them “But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.” Gen.13:13 “which the LORD overthrew in His anger and His wrath.” Deut. 29:23 “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 7 “…making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly” 2 Pet.2:6-8

Tribe of Benjamin    Judges 19, 20 and 21 = corrupt They defended the homosexuals “Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.” 20:28 26,000 men - after the battle they had only 600 survivors Lev. 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” Lev. 20:13 “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death.”

Rom. 1:18-32  God gave them up to uncleanness  Reprobate mind 1 Cor. 6:9 KJV “nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind” NKJV “nor homsexuals, nor sodomites” ESV “nor men who practice homosexuality” 1 Tim. 1:10 KJV “for them that defile themselves with mankind” NKJV “for sodomites” ESV “men who practice homosexuality”

 God has always forbidden homosexuality  God has always punished those who do such things  God will always punish those who practice this sin  Any sin can be forgiven if the sinner repents

Is It Normal ?

 Claim they were born that way - should accept NO ! It is not normal !

 God would be Creator of what He condemns  1 Cor. 6:9-11 had been but were justified  Rom. 1:26 “which is against nature”  God created us male and female

Is It a Sickness ?

 Compare it to a disease or sickness NO ! It is not a disease “

no evidence whatsoever of any genetic causes for homosexuality.” – Dr. Ted Evans, Psychologist, UCLA

God does not condemn the sick, He does condemn those who are sinners

Is It a Sin ?

 Yes ! God Calls it a sin “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals ... will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Cor. 6:9-10

Cannot accept or tolerate Call it what it is = Sin !

Warn others about the dangers  Threat to our children  Threat to our nation -

Prov. 14:34

“Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.”  Threat to marriage

“Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE”

Matt. 19:4
