Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: (James 1:13) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (James 1:14) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (James 1:15) 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. (Romans 1:27)

Homosexuality in the Bible Leviticus 20:13 (cf. 18:22) declares it abominable for a man to lie with another man as with a woman, and both partners are to be executed. The possibility that one party has been coerced is not discussed: both are defiled. However, the offence seems to be no worse than other capital crimes mentioned in the same context, such as adultery and incest. Paul evidently regarded the prohibition of sexual acts between men or between women as violations of natural law known even to non-Jews - at least if their minds were not clouded by idolatry (Romans 1:18-32; 2:14-16).

Hence why repentance was only preached to the Jews, as they were under the law via the Covenant with Moses and the Israelites. New Covenant didn't have a law of sin, only the Commandment to love thy neighbor, which was called the law of the Spirit. Jesus also tried to teach the Jews of they hypocrisy and unrighteous judgements, which most "Christians" seem to have adopted from the Jews rather than heeding Jesus' advice. And there is no scripture that ever pegged "homosexuality" as a sin. A truth that they try to get around by taking single verses out of context.

So you have no idea what types of sins that we have have been subjected to - God is the ultimate authority and shames satan by allowing us to be pruned so that we might shed our old ways. Everyone and everything is made for the glory of God. God said he made the blind and the seeing. Would you suppose that even sin itself is a human problem?

Missed it by a mile, why don't you quote the scriptures Rick? I do not believe in these oppositions of science, falsely so called (1st Tim. 6:20) - But even if it were, it is not sin to be tempted, it IS sin to lust, remember what the Lord said there in Matt. 5, and v.28? If you look on a woman with lust in your heart according to the Lord Jesus you have sinned already, and that's so, you heard a knock on the door, said "who is it?" - Replied "LUST!" And you done opened the door up anyhow, you haven't committed the act yet, but you've consented already in your mind. And likewise, if you love another woman more than your wife, you know you're guilty already, yes you do. Or you kiss and peck and play with a girl when you're not married, you come over to her house and you're both alone... - You done put yourself in this dangerous situation. David didn't sin when he looked on Bathsheba, naked as she was. He sinned when he didn't look away, "and when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin" (Jam. 1:15). What'd ol' David do after that? "And sin, when it is finished, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH!" The wages of sin, is still death. (Rom. 6:23)

***** I have read Romans chapter one repeatedly. As for Romans 1:26 ""For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men gave up the natural function of the woman and burned in their lust toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."" First of all, you can't "give up" something you never had in the first place. If I ask you for a million dollars, you can't "give it up" to me if you never had it, right? The use of the woman for gay men, is not NATURAL. Second of all, no one that I know of is defending LUST. Obviously these men were straight because they left the women in the name of LUST. That of course would be wrong. There was lust, promiscuity, and adultery going on in this passage. It is clearly not "loving your neighbor". We would never read a passage in the Bible about heterosexual lust and promiscuity and condemn all heterosexual marriages, would we? Now before you try to say that verse says that homosexuality goes against "NATURE": 1 Cor 11:113-15 says "Does not the very NATURE of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him..." Nature had to do with custom, not biology. Unless of course you believe that NATURE controls the length of a man's hair. It is the same Greek word for "nature/natural" in Greek translated in 1 Cor 11 as it is in Romans . "phusis " We are to interpret Scripture with other Scripture. A word cannot mean one thing in one verse and something else in another. None of these verses give clear condemnation of homosexuality. It only proves it is wrong in certain circumstances; just as heterosexuality is wrong in certain circumstances.

Unfortunately for you, you have not shown in any way, shape, or form how this relates to 2 members of the same sex in a loving and committed relationship. Well it seems to me, MARY that you not only cannot prove that this verse applies to 2 members of the same sex in a loving and committed relationship no matter how hard you try to twist the words in the New Testament. By the way, the New Testament is NEVER referred to as 'scripture', but that's an entirely different debate. I never said that the Bible condones homosexuality, but it certainly never condemns it either so I challenge you to show me where it does. Gay christians have repented of their sin and since they are not violating Galatians 5:14 and Romans 13:10, their loving and committed relationships are not sinful. Galatians 5:14, "For the ENTIRE LAW is fulfilled with this one; love your neighbor as yourself". Romans 13:10 "Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Where is your evidence that 2 members of the same sex are in violation of those verses? You do NOT have the right to sit in judgment over others. That is not your place, DEAR! ;)

@jasonm8362

***** I didn't forget anything. Paul NEVER addresses homosexuality in the context of 2 members of the same sex in a loving and committed relationship, he only addresses it in the context of adultery, promiscuity, and lust. Where is your evidence to show that he condemns it in the context that I am referring to? So please, don't go trying to say that something is there that isn't there. ;) Just hold on a minute! Where exactly does God even reference homosexuality in any way in 2 Corinthians??? And here's my favorite part; "practically all through the Bible"??? LOL! I would LOVE for you to prove THAT! Second of all, this is what Lev actually says: Lev 18:22, (Hebrew translation) You shall not lie with a male [on] the bedding of a woman it is a despised thing. (The women"s portion of the tent was separated by a curtain from the men"s half, and it was strictly off limits. A male stranger who entered a woman"s quarters could be punished with death. Sisera hid in Jael"s tent, but paid for it with his life (Judg. 4:18-21)." Leviticus KJV 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (KJV) Leviticus 18:22 ESV You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Look, you must understand that the Old Testament was not written in English (much less American-English) As you can see, as we go from Hebrew through the translations and bible rewrites to English, to the present time (I've only stated a few examples but its a lot more complicated then this) it's original meaning like many statements in Leviticus sound none relevant in modern society, if 18:22 stayed with its original translation nobody would pay any attention to it. The plural Hebrew word mish-che-ve (the bedding of) appears only 3 times in the Hebrew OT. The three places are at: Gen. 49:4, Lev. 18:22 & Lev. 20:13. The "bedding" or "bed" in tents consisted of the mattress which was stuffed with straw or feathers or animal skins spread out. So, I have just shown that it had to do with lying with a man on the bedding of a woman. Let me save us both some time and I'll predict your next move. You will say that most scholars do not agree with that translation or interpretation, right? The proof that I have the correct translation for Lev 18:22 and 20:13, ""Bedding" is the most widely attested translation of "mish'k' vei"" (The dictionary of classical Hebrew Sheffield: Volume V Nun-Mem Ed. David J.A Clines. Sheffield Accademic Press, 200, p.526) There's your proof. Since WE KNOW FOR A FACT that your translation is incorrect, what say you? So, looking at the meaning of the original text, we get a little closer with "Likewise male shall not lie bed wife is hated it". Fixing the grammar just a touch can give us a better translation of "Likewise, (you) shall not lie down with a man in (your) wife's bed. It is hated." This actually makes sense in the context of the entire chapter, which also prohibits incest of various forms, and other sections of Leviticus that prohibit adultery. Many Christians don't realize that some men today will pretend that homosexual sex isn't adultery because it's not "real sex"; I wouldn't be surprised if this was going on in the days of Moses as well. And of course, it makes sense that the Bible would prohibit same-sex adultery. What doesn't make sense is why the Bible would prohibit two males from having sex (under any circumstances) and not prohibit two females. I challenged you to show where the Bible condemns (present tense) homosexuality. When one interprets the Bible, they interpret Bible passages with other Bible passages. You cannot "cherry pick" verses from the Old Testament and not address the verses in New Testament unless you are Jewish and you reject the New Testament. Furthermore, either you follow ALL the laws in the Old Testament or you don't. Who gave you the right to decide that homosexuality is wrong, but trimming your beard is not (Lev 19:27)? What about eating shellfish, pork (Lev 11) wearing clothing that is made with more than one type of fabric (Deut 22:11), keeping the sabbath (Deut 5:12), ect?

***** If you can show me just ONE VERSE that the ENTIRE BIBLE is the Word of God, I will convert. Now to be fair, I suppose you could argue that since Jesus claimed to be God that HIS words could be called God's Word, but that is not the case for the Apostle Paul or any other writer of the New Testament. Furthermore one could make the argument that the Old Testament contains God's Word, but the New Testament is never called God's Word or even "scripture". Furthermore, Paul goes out of his way to show that not everything he is writing is from God. 1 Cor 7:12 where Paul says, "To the rest I speak, (I, not the Lord) if any man hath a virgin..." 1 Cor 7:25 ""Now concerning virgins I HAVE NO COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD, yet I give MY judgment..." 2 Cor 11:17, "That which I speak, I SPEAK NOT AFTER THE LORD, but as in foolishness, in the confidence of his glory." If the New Testament is God's Word or the "Holy Scriptures" , how do you reconcile these verses? Furthermore, I find it interesting that in John 1:1 The "Word" is defined for us and there is no mention of the Bible (the word "Bible" isn't even in the Bible) and neither is the word "Scripture". It says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Drop down to verse 14, "The Word became flesh (Jesus) and dwelt among us..." Since you claim to have the correct interpretation when it comes to Biblical teachings, I have a question for ya. Since you believe the Bible is the "Word" and John 1 says that the "Word" is God, then you must believe the Bible is GOD in book form! If not, why not? Sad thing is that you condemn an entire group of people to hell and when asked WHY, you go into a rant about how they cannot be a Christian because apparently their 'sin' is worse than any other sin. In fact, it's so bad that it will keep the out of heaven after they accept Christ. Look Mary, you had a pretty simple task before you; I asked you to show me one verse that condemns 2 members of the same sex in a loving and committed relationship and to this date, you have failed to do so. Furthermore,you accuse me of 'taking scripture out of context' because it goes against your preconceived and bigoted theology, but you never gave one shred of evidence pertaining to WHERE I actually did that. Then you go into your sermon about sin without any Biblical support. I'm not interested in your opinions, I am only interested in what your magic book says. So unless you can show me where I have taken the 'scripture out of context', I will have to assume that you do NOT have evidence of your accusation. Let me also remind you that if you cannot, you are breaking the 9th commandment "Thou shall not bear false witness against they neighbor". Now where does the Bible say that 2 members of the same sex in a loving and committed relationship are 'sinning' in the first place and we can go from there. If that's the case, why do you keep coming back for more? I would also point out that I don't consider a topic that involves the salvation of millions "frivolous".I'm sorry that you do.

Love the sinner hate the sin. I am a sinner. We all struggle with a particular sin. Doesn’t matter if you’re gay or straight. What you gotta ask yourself is if you want Jesus more than you want to hang onto your sin.

I'm a homosexual man who has come to this realization: God's intent was for all man to live perfectly and w/ out flaw or corruption... but the events in the Garden of Eden altered the natural order of things. As a result, man is born into the world and subject to many things, things that eventually bring about his destruction/death. I think the spirit of homosexuality is one of these things. You may not have asked for it, but this one fell on you, much the way many other infirmities/challenges that plague man, fall on others. There is no question of fairness in this, as we know: "...He gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike." We are all given a cross to bear, and perhaps for homosexuals, this is your cross. All my gay life, I have struggled with this issue. Is this cross heavier to carry than any of the others given to any other man, due to the disobedience of original sin?

frank K this was very well put and I agree with what you said. The only reason why homosexuality seems like a heavier cross to bear is because there is a lot of tension regarding that issue in the secular society. In God's view, homosexuality is no different than stealing, lying, murder, etc. Likewise, since men are inherently sinful in nature, God sent Jesus as atonement for our sins (including homosexuality, lust, greed, etc).

Men's mentality varies in difference of opinions and faith, but God has the final word, and his words will always be true. So, should we please man or God who created man?

Always go to scripture, not your own thoughts or feelings. In Proverbs 3:5 It says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. That's why people like Joel osteen, and other so called pastors dance around questions like this, because they would rather please the world than God

It makes me absolutely sick to see that 600+ people liked this video.

Verbal gymnastics. Yes we are called to love people. This is true. Warning people that they are living in rebellion to God and can end up in hell is also an act of love. Not attacking them or insulting them. Warning them in truth with love. That is love as well. No matter how we were born... addict, homosexual, etc. God can deliver us. I used to be bi-sexual. God truly has delivered me from those desires. I no longer struggle with that in my life. I not only do not do that anymore, I no longer even feel those desires. And I felt like that since I was 12 yrs old. The power of God is a real thing. Very real. It's up to you to allow Him into your life to do a work in you. There is a battle that goes beyond flesh and blood. It's spiritual, and our only defense against that is Jesus. This is why I was able to overcome. It's not just about the flesh... or DNA... it's spiritual. Ephesians 6:12 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Seek Jesus! Ask him into your life... while you still can. There will be a time when it will be too late. And rejecting Jesus is the express pathway to Hell.

Actually to love pple is to tell them the truth... To save their souls from the gates of hell.

Exactly! Him, Mike Todd, Kirk Franklin, people who know homosexual people know their role. Which is to not judge, accept that they don’t know everything because they haven’t experienced it and to worry about themselves.

Rick Warren is very careful and diplomatic in his verbal neutrality strategy. Good framing, and acceptable on both sides of the issue. But I did notice that there wasn't a definitive answer regarding the issue as to whether homosexuality is wrong. The Bible repeatedly condemns such practice. Look to the latter part of Romans, chptr One, as Paul calls it "vile passions," as just one example. In the Old Testament, the practice is called "abominable". Not much "wiggle room" there. And it is notable that Rick claimed attraction is no sin, but to act can be a sin. But of course, the Bible makes it clear that we do need help in even our thought-life, because Jesus (in the "Sermon on the Mount," Matt chptr 5) makes the point clearly that the root of the act is found in the heart. So we definitely need to turn to the Holy Spirit of God to have victory even in our thought life. To look on a woman (or man) and lust over them is to commit adultery in our heart. To hate is the seed of murder, etc, etc. Rick Warren has been caught in denials before. He's got a smooth and convincing rhetoric, but in places like his flip-flop denial that he's ever spoke in favor of Prop 8 (in defense of non-gay marriage) when he's clearly spoke in favor of it (since we can find it easily here on You Tube) shows that he is disingenuous 'to the nines'.

You are looking at scripture with homophobia in your heart. Not a single verse you are trying to point out, isn't directly related to whoredom or idolatry. Leviticus 18:27 says that all the listed things were abominations. And that the land was defiled for it. Try to come up with the land being defiled because 2 men had a relationship together. There was a reason the Leviticus 18:22 had to stress that the homosexual equivalent of the acts that were being committed were still an abomination, and it is found in the verse right before it.

It's sad that anyone who believes homosexual lust and behavior is automatically slandered as being guilty of "homophobia." That's an ad hominem attack and has nothing to do with epistemological foundations of truth. Homosexual lust and behavior is clearly sin in the Bible. It has to do with God's nature. Anything that is contrary to His nature is automatically wrong. He is described in male terms and Jesus, of course, is male while the church, as a whole, is His bride and is described in feminine terms. Simple observation of the totality of scripture gives you a picture that men should only be united with women and vice versa. I do feel sorry for those who would rather not have the struggle of same-sex attraction. It's a terrible burden to bear for many. We all have a sin nature from conception. Various influences in our lives cause us to sin in certain areas more than others. A male may have early childhood trauma and/or, a lack of a strong father figure in his life to give him proper affirmation which can lead to homosexual desires. Another person may have early childhood trauma leading them to develop self-loathing and thus, harmful activities. The sin nature was the same as mine and everyone else's but various influences pushed them in a certain direction to sin in certain ways. We all deal with the sin of pride which, is the root of all sin. We choose to go our own way rather than submit and yield ourselves to God and His ways.....

+Michael J McCurdy Sin is the transgression of God's laws. Jesus stresses that all the law hangs on 2 commandments, to love God and love each other. Hence why the laws were abolished, because no one kept God's commandments. People lack understanding of the laws, and used the laws to transgress each other. Jesus came to renew the laws to their basic values. God did not intend for the laws to pit brother against brother. This is discussed in Hebrews chapters 7-8, Romans 7, Colossians 2, and mentioned in the gospels of Jesus. Jesus was constantly having to correct the Pharisees of old, as they had no understanding of the true purpose of the laws, and the "Christians" of today are no different. If you are using the laws to judge, then you are committing an abomination in God's eyes. Jesus took the laws to the cross with him, and all who follow Jesus and what he commanded, have no occasion to sin. But those who continue to sin, never knew Jesus. Jesus set the Apostles to judge the tribes of Israel, hence why they were tasked to give godly edification, as they still love their neighbors but will suffer them not to sin. The final judgement is left to God, not man. The Pharisees were always going to law against the brethren, and condemning them or chasing them away from God. Jesus saw them as wicked for their judgements and vain jangling of the laws. Their deeds were evil, but those that preach the truth and nurture someone so that they in turn can go out and do the same, are storing for themselves treasure up in heaven. For a man is known by the his fruits. This is what Jesus had to say to the Pharisees. Matthew 12 33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Proverbs 2210 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. 11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. Proverbs 612 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. It would be wise to cease walking in darkness and to know Jesus in you heart. I don't wish for him to say he never knew you.

The law is a mirror of our heart's condition. It shows us that we can never measure up to God's standard of perfection. You have to be as perfect as God to get into Heaven. Since that's impossible for us to do, Christ did it for us. He lived a perfect life without sin, died in our place as a spotless sacrifice to pay the penalty of our sin for us, taking the full wrath of God for our sins on Himself, rising from the dead 3 days later thus, conquering sin and death forever for all who believe. So, a person comes to Christ for salvation, is born again, has the indwelling Holy Spirit of God residing within them, has the righteousness of Christ transferred to their account thereby making them as perfect as God positionally speaking. Post-salvation, the life of the believer is to become in practice what we are by position. We are sanctified positionally and sanctified progressively; experientially. We are being conformed to the image of Christ more and more our entire lives after that moment of regeneration and belief. There is still right and wrong. There are things that are sin. We are called to live holy lives and are called to cease from sinning. "since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?" Romans 6:1 (this verse clearly demonstrates that there are sinful activities that we are not to engage in) If we are to truly love God and others, we will find a great many things would hinder us from doing that; homosexual behavior being one of those things. It is clearly condemned in the New Testament. It didn't suddenly become ok just because we are not "under the law." I can't even fathom how anyone can explain away all those N.T. scriptures condemning homosexual behavior. It also doesn't make any sense why someone would think that what God said about homosexual behavior in the O.T. is somehow null and void since Jesus took our sins on Himself. Murder is the opposite of love. Theft, lying, selfish ambition, laziness, pride, lust, adultery, fornication; We are not suddenly let off the hook from obeying the commands to refrain from taking part in these activities. There's a lot of talk, throughout the N.T. regarding sinful activities that we must be careful to avoid. All these things fall under the summation of the law; love God and your neighbor. If a person has the ongoing sin of homosexual behavior without the inner conviction of the Holy Spirit that they are sinning then, they may not have the indwelling Holy Spirit. They were probably never regenerated in the first place. True born again believers who sin are convicted by the Holy Spirit and they will be miserable until they repent. They are not being saved all over again, since that's a one-time action on God's part but their hearts are realigned with God's heart and purposes. Christians are called to judge each other: "For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:13. Our judgement is not one of the hidden motives of the heart but rather, the works that can be seen. Matthew 18 gives us the protocol for dealing with sin in another brother. Love always but don't tolerate known sin. To tolerate ongoing homosexual behavior in another is to hate them and to hate God because it destroys the homosexual offender and continually offends God's holiness. "for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized." 1 Cor. 11:19 --We are not to have unity at any cost but must discern truth from error. I could probably tweak this a little; I'm in a hurry and have to go....

To all of you who are judging Rick for not defining homosexuality as sin, please listen again to the clip. At 2:12 Rick says that he believes sex outside of marriage is wrong. That includes adultery, fornication, homosexuality, prostitution, and bestiality. Not only did he say that homosexuality is sinful, but he expanded his answer to the biblical directive of immorality which, by far, more humans are guilty of. He also states as the authority for his beliefs as the Bible at 2:40. He didn’t state a particular book, chapter, and verse from the Bible to back up his beliefs because he is speaking with a non-believer who doesn’t believe the Bible anyway. Citing the scriptural reference to a bible-illiterate means nothing to them.

Homosexuality in the Bible Leviticus 20:13 (cf. 18:22) declares it abominable for a man to lie with another man as with a woman, and both partners are to be executed. The possibility that one party has been coerced is not discussed: both are defiled. However, the offence seems to be no worse than other capital crimes mentioned in the same context, such as adultery and incest. Paul evidently regarded the prohibition of sexual acts between men or between women as violations of natural law known even to non-Jews - at least if their minds were not clouded by idolatry (Romans 1:18-32; 2:14-16).

He was asked a philosophical question which was essentially on if God creates persons with natural affections that was a sin. And his response was that he didn't have it all figured out, which was at least an honest answer. A concern of mine is when he conceded that some attractions were not sin, which I think is, particularly lust. My humble assumption was that he skirted away from certain questions that may have been framed as a trap by our apparent secularists.

I as a Christian have more respect for a gay person who doesn't act on their desire than a gay person who acts on their desire. The Bible in Leviticus 18:22 says a man shall not lie with a male. Good job for following the Bible.

He's not giving a straight "yes" or "no" answer because this question goes much deeper than that. You want to help the "sinful nature" of the person, before you talk about correcting their "sins." If they don't have Jesus, they'll only be doing what is natural to them.

That is so true. I have had conversations with my non-believing friends about homosexuality and sin, also about gay marriage. Its frustrating, because I consider homosexuality as a sin, that is why I don't support gay marriage. Unlike modern culture in Finland, I highly value the marriage and the commitment. The Bible is the best source of life values. But it is so difficult to protect my values by the Bible, which others don't 1. believe 2. don't know anything about. I would need "something more".. Which seems insane to me: the Bible is the most reliable. Is equality " whatever feels good and right for me, is good and right"?

I strongly suggest you research the original words pertaining to "homosexual offenders" when referencing the Bible. It is NOT talking about homosexual consenting adults...It's talking about having sex with underage boys - which was very common in that time.

@Faith Love Love yes hate no. That simple.

NO ONE should be called "pastor" who does not call homosexuality a sin. It is crystal clear in Romans, and other places, that homosexuality is a sin. You either teach God's Word the way He laid it out or you don't. You can't be a reed in the wind and go the way the winds blows, you need to be a rock and stand strong for what God's Word says.

Why do these so called evangelist sort of dance around what the Bible actually says? I never ever heard Billy Graham answer the question on homosexuality like that. He says the Bible says it's a sin so, it's a sin. You aren't born that way. You choose to be that way. No where in the Bible does it say, "and, God created homosexuals." In Genesis 1:27 it says, "So God created man in His own image; In the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

Homosexuality is wrong, plain & simple. Either you follow God or you follow the world, but you can't follow both. If you follow God, then the world will hate you. If you follow the world, then you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. God is good, for he gives people the option to choose, so in that way, you can only blame yourself for the result of your outcome.

With all due respect, Rick is a coward. He thinks he means well, but he clearly cannot take a stand on what scripture says because he's afraid of offending paying customers. If you're going to take a stand for Christ, there are certain things that are just going to rub people the wrong way - the Bible clearly points this out. In fact, they actually killed Jesus because of it. Like Joel Osteen, he is a very talented speaker and Personal Development coach, who BELIEVES himself to be a minister of the gospel. (Frankly, I don't care WHAT people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. But I'm not the Bible, which clearly takes a stand on this and several other issues. You need to decide what you want to be when you grow up Rick.)

Gay marriage is not even a thing in God's eyes. The only authority is the Word of God. Not what pastors , priests or simple believers say or feel.

But answer me this, how can it be natural and God calls it an abomination??!! That means it’s not natural. So let’s take another point. If pediphiles feel a natural attraction to kids should they act on their feelings, if it’s natural, if they’ve felt this way all their life???!!!! No, let’s have a moral standard for behavior, just because you feel something doesn’t make it natural. Everything you feel isn’t good, pure, and right. And the reason they don’t understand this is because they don’t understand the Bible completely and have the spirit of discernment. There are spirits that work through ppl, Jesus cast out a lot of these spirits in the Bible and ppl didn’t know they were possessed until the unclean spirit was cast out. Some spirit only come out through prayer and fasting. And homosexuality is a spirit. And experiencing sexual abuse or trauma can open the door for that spirit or generational curses. Sin opens a door to demonic spirits. And whatever the enemy knows will keep you struggling in life is why he will use to create a stronghold in your life.

He is the same yesterday, today & forever...His reaction to the homosexuality of Sodom & Gomorrah is coming to today...and no amount of sugar coating His love is gonna change that. Yes, He is The Lamb... But He's coming back as The Lion. And preachers who are leading His people astray WILL stand before Him. Praise Be To God!

Which shows that he is unbiblical.

I have heard from a couple of bisexual and gay men some things that sort of make sense. Let me first say that engaging in sex out of marriage IS A SIN as well as homosexual/lesbian sex and all other perversions. The things that made me think is the reasons why they say gay sex is way better than heterosexual sex. Among the many reasons they say a man will rarely ever see sex as a chore or give out all kinds or excuses to not have sex such as the famous headache, being tired, and so on. A man can have sex without the need of jewelry, gifts, expensive dinners, romancing, money, favors, etc. No need to jump through fiery hoops or to beg for it. A man won’t roll his eyes up about it but show initiative and willingness. Both show interest and passion. Both can easily be turned on and ready to go at it. Again, IT IS A SIN but it did made me think and felt sad because they do make a point. I often hear in women’s bible studies, conferences, married couples conferences and books, etc. how married women complain about the husband wanting sex or married men complain how the wife rejects sex, uses excuses to not give her husband permission for sex, sees it as a chore, uses sex to manipulate him, etc. I am not married yet but the thought of being that typical christian married woman does make me nervous. Sure, exceptions exist but those are just that, exceptions. What can we do? 🙁

The bible says it's a sin....don't tippi toe around it. Don't try to gain the world and lose your soul..plus you are confusing others about it.

Finally someone willing to admit that they don't know everything.🤗 Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:💖

@ianmcdonald8648

true on both counts. That is, none of us know everything. And, Jesus did say judge not lest you be judged, etc. BUT He also said - John 7:24 "Do not judge according to sight, but judge righteous judgment." The same Greek word for "judge" used in Matthew 7:1, 2, is the same word used in John 7:24. While we are not to judge as if we could make a final judgment, as to whether a person is going to hell or not, we are to make judgments that are in line with God's word, adn according to the pattern that Jesus showed us and the apostles showed us. Jesus loved everyone, but He called out sin for what it was. He didn't footsy around and make sinners feel comfortable in or with their sin. He refused to condemn the woman who was cuaght in adultery and had been dragged by hypocrites before Jesus . But He told her when they all shamefully left in silence, that he did not accuse her - adding - Go and sin no more. He told her that she had sinned. That is love. To hide behind 'loving' someone yet not identifying the sickness in the soul, is not love of God. It is a sentimental attachment to people. Paul called Peter out because he had been caught in sin publicly, and was rebuked publicly. Jesus called His own Peter out in front of the other disciples for acting like satan, and even called him by the name of satanas. Get behind me satan - He said to Peter. You do not desire the things of God but the things of men - Matthew 16:23 He called James and John out in front of the other disciples for sin, they did not have the spirit of God operating in their lives at that moment - Luke 9:54- 56 Timothy was instructed by Paul to rebuke those who had sinned. Paul did so to the Galatians and the Corinthians. James did so in his short letter as did John. In referring to one Scripture, we must place it in context with the rest of Scripture. Rick Warren and many others do not in their 'pastoral' role call out sin for what it is, when they are asked clearly to idnetify something as sin or not. If a preacher of Rick Warren's calibre does not really know clearly what Scripture says of homosexxuality as being a sin then he ought to take a sabbatical and get to know the Scriptures more thoroughly. Sin is nothing less than sin, and God's standard as to what sin is hasn't changed. ALthough denominational or seminary definttions of sin may well have changed owing to cultural pressures or personal friendships or prestige etc etc.

That's not what Jesus meant. He is constantly telling his followers to be discerning, to watch out for false teachers, beware of the leven of the religious leaders. Didn't you just judge Rick Warren, you thought he was good. I think he is very clever, knows his audience, he knows what to say to not offend anyone. Well when you speak truth you are "Always" going to offend someone. That's what got Jesus killed, and all of his disciples but John.

Call it what it is, SIN. Who would follow a pastor that doesn't know what the Holy Bible says.

Yes I wonder what his answer would have been about adultery, child molesting, rape, porn and sex trafficking. If he can't take a stand on one, then he won't take a firm stand on all the other sexual sins. God included all of this in His Word so we wouldn't be hurt by wrong choices. If you have a family member that's a drug addict or alcoholic, wouldn't you tell them what he or she is doing is wrong, a sin? You tell them because you love them, not because you hate them. The same is true for all the sex sins mentioned in the Bible. We tell people what God's Word says because we love them and don't want to see them be hurt. I don't even know why we are discussing whether it's a sin or not. We have the Bible, and I'm not talking about the Queen James Version whose writers remained anonymous. If they really believed what they wrote in their version, or rather what they left out of their version, they would have owned up to it.

In The Bible it also speaks about adultery. If a man lust for another woman in his mind he has also committed adultery. He would be better off to pluck his eyes out. For this is a sin.

Made blood boil. A great falling away. The Greek is "apostasia", from where we get the word "apostate". . A great falling away from revealed truth. "Let's all get together! Doctrine divides!" Well, sound doctrine does divide... the sheep from the goats. Did you see Rick Warren calling pope Francis, "Our pope"? Warren said, "Pope Francis is doing everything perfectly." He mentioned the Mass (which is the ultimate blasphemy against Christ's finished work), he said Catholics don't really worship Mary or the saints. HAHA! Straight up lie! I grew up in Romanism, The parades following a statue of Mary. The Rosary beads, scapulars, etc. At first I thought Warren was just deceived, now I am not so sure. He's a CFR member, and cozies up to politicians and on-world-religioners.
