What does the BIBLE Say ? ? about . . .
Divorce: Matt 19:9,
Luke 16:18, 1st Corinth
7:10-11
Matt 19:9
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it
be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso
marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Homosexuality (Gay): Leviticus 18:22 (
Chapter 18, Verse 22)
Here are some verses, but not
all, that reference Homosexuality (referred to also as Effeminate, Unseemly,
“That which is not natural”.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt
not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Romans
1:26-27
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
recompence of their error which was meet.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
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,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1st Corinth 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,
Jude 1:7
7 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 vegeance of eternal fire.
Sodom & Gomorrah were judged by GOD because of their sinful ways and evil, including sexual sins. Sodom had a become a city of great evil (Genesis chpt. 19). Homosexuality, moral depravity, sexual lust and arrogance were some of their sins. Angels (disguised as or appearing as men) went to Lot's house in Sodom to warn him that the city would be destroyed. The men in Sodom were so evil that they wanted to Homosexually Gang Rape the angels! This is where the word “Sodomize” comes from, because of the evil and perversion of Sodom. These two cities were destroyed with such force and ferocity that their existence was utterly erased from the planet. They were called an abomination to GOD.
There was no concept of a
loving, consensual same-sex sexual relationship in Biblical times, none. When the Bible speaks of a marital type
companionship among God’s people it is ALWAYS between one man and one woman,
never between 2 people of the same sex.
It is becoming necessary for Christians to speak out on this issue,
since so many Christians are being “Persecuted” when they do so, and speak the
truth.
Did you know that several countries (including Canada)
have already made & enforced Laws making it Illegal, to speak out against
the sins of Homosexuality ?
The world is transitioning into an environment where Gays have the right to flaunt their perverted beliefs but Christians are being denied the right to speak the truth. How much longer before Christians are openly physically persecuted and denied their right to worship ?
What is Fornication ? Having Sex outside of marriage
What is Adultery ? A married person having sexual relations or inappropriate relations with someone other than their spouse. It is also sometimes referred to as “Infidelity” or “Unfaithfullness”
Baptism: Mark 16:16, Matt 28:19
Mark 16:16 He that believeth AND is Baptized shall be saved.
Baptism is complete immersion underneath the water, not the sprinkling of a little water onto someone. Jesus himself was baptized (completely immersed) by John the Baptist, and before ascending into Heaven after the resurrection, he commands his Disciples/Apostles to Baptize believers. Simply believing is NOT the complete story, as Mark 16:16 tells us. Yes, you can drive a car somewhere, IF . . it has gasoline/fuel (but unstated, the car also requires an engine, tires, air in the tires, oil, Transmission Fluid, an engine, etc, etc.)
You will see many TV evangelists preach that all you have to do is Believe, but they have a selfish motive of not wanting to tell the entire story, the truth, because they want to offer a FALSE Lie to easily make people feel secure & happy, so that the people will send money in to them to support their affluent lifestyle.
Speaking In Tongues is not
jibberish sounds that are not understandable, as some would try to deceive you
into believing; instead, it was basically the Holy Spirit allowing the Apostles
to be heard or understood by whatever listener’s primary language was. So, although the Apostle Peter may have been
verbally speaking in Hebrew, if the person in the audience was a Greek, then
that particular person would have heard it in Greek, although Peter would have
been speaking it in Hebrew. If the
listener in the audience was Roman, and his primary language was Latin, he
would have heard it in Latin instead of the Hebrew that Peter was speaking.
There are many who would pervert the definition
of “Speaking in Tongues” to glorify themselves, instead of “Glorifying God”;
they would mislead you into believing that it is speaking jibberish sounds that
only they “supposedly” could understand which is entirely a falsehood and a
self-serving fabrication. “Speaking in
Tongues” was a feat performed by the “Holy Spirit” to interpret some of the
Apostle’s early sermons into the listener’s primary spoken language as a tool
to help establish the early church in the 1st Century. Always beware of those who do things for
their own glory, instead of doing things for the “Glory of God”. Why would any sincere Christian want to
disguise the “TRUE” word of God into non-understandable jibberish, instead of
speaking in an understandable language ?
The answer . . . they would not; “Speaking in Jibberish” is simply a
cheap ploy some would use to try to bring selfish-attention upon themselves,
instead of trying to Glorify God.
