Romans 1:26-27 : "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion" (emphasis added). Clearly, this passage puts lesbianism on equal ground with male homosexuality. Lesbianism is described as women exchanging natural relations (with men) for unnatural relations (with women). According to the Bible, being a lesbian is just as sinful as being a homosexual male
Hi Ralph , just as we can't make a person gay , we can't make a person not be gay either . One thing I would say is that , when we become Christians many of us have to change our lifestyles in one way or another , that's very common I think . Please be aware , if you keep going on and on about it in a negative fashion you may push your daughter away from you completely and I think that would be a bad thing . God gave her to you and you to her . If she wants to be a truly commited Christian then she will recognise that her behaviour in this area is unacceptable and will change herself , with God's help . This will only happen by her building an intimate relationship with her God and her Saviour and recognising for herself that it's a change she needs to make . Potentially this could take a long time , years even . I know that it has taken me years to have the faith that I have now and i still need feeding ! You will have to continue to be a patient and loving Christian dad , always showing her the love of God . Pray every day for her but love her as she is . That's all you can do , if you push too hard before she is ready to accept the Truth you may push her away . She is your daughter because God wants her to be . Don't give up but don't push her away either , it's a balancing act .May God bless you and her .
Dear "RALPH", On youtube you can find good teaching on the subject because it is not done at all in a jiffy.
I understand that the situation is exhausting and without sincerity in the case it probably will not work. These are strong forces. A lot of it is required for forgiveness because it is the mother and fathers' sin, they struggle with. They do not even know why their lives have become as they are. Homosexuals are ignorant.
I probably would not have said that a year ago, but now I do after hearing Derek Prince on youtube.
God bless us all with wisdom in His Son Jesus, love u in Christ. 1 John chapter 2 and 3.
In Romans chapter 1 verse 26 said that women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. Please read all of Romans chapter 1 and you will get the full understanding
Hi Ralph, I too believe that people are not born homosexual. Somewhere along the line the evil one used people, ideas, and such to pervert one's sexual desires from what God created us to be. I have three sisters that are lesbians. They say, (after decades of being in this lifestyle) that they were born this way. Saying this allows homosexuals to escape somewhat from the conviction of the Holy Spirit in their conscience that their lifestyle is sinful. It allows them to have a more "settled" heart which they admitted to me was continually at unrest causing them much emotional pain and mental anguish. Saying that they were born that way puts the onus back onto God for creating them this way, thus relieving their consciences from constant guilt.
Just as Daniel pointed out from Romans chapter 1; Scripture is plain that homosexuality is a perversion of what God's design for love and sexuality. It is a very difficult lifestyle to repent of and turn away from once one begins to practice it and engage in homosexual relationships. It is a deep-seated deception that" goes to the core of one's self-perception. To turn from homosexuality requires a "death" of whom one has come to believe themselves to be. This is often insurmountable for many to overcome without the work of the Holy Spirit and a bending of the will to God's way. To re-order ones sense of self and lifestyle and relationships involving friends(who most of the time are also homosexuals) and lovers is so very difficult.
We ought to pray for those we know in this lifestyle and keep on praying, interceding for them often, and we ought to tell them the truth from God's Word and assure them of our love for them despite their sinful lifestyle. But, it is such a trial for a parent to bear. Many Christian parents relinquish what they know God's Word determines on this to accepting this lifestyle in their child, convincing themselves that their child was indeed born this way. But this really is not productive.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And 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.
No one was ever born homosexual. Even youth exposed to fornication, pornography and other perversions will cause one to believe this. They'd worship the creature and not the Creator (God) and for this cause God gave them over as they are of a reprobate mind. The only cure is to be born again ( Ephesians 2:8-10)
Romans chapter 1, the Apostle Paul.explains that this and what the cause is for one to act such a way. To be clear, no one is born that way and Romans 1 should clear up any confusion.
I cant find in bible where it says women shouldn't be with women.
I understand it says abomination for men to lay with men.
