Over the past couple days a lot has happened in our country, our president has come out and supported gay marriage and North Carolina has passed their amendment that states that marriage between one man and one woman will be the only domestic legal union recognized and valid in the state.
We always focus on the six states that have legalized same-sex marriage, these states are, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and New Hampshire. That's six out of 50. We never focus on the 26 states that have banned same-sex marriage in their states, these states include, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. I saw a friend's status the other day that weighed in on this subject and this is what he had to say "I don't think people are born gay. However, even if they were, what difference would that make? I was born with a desire to lust after certain things that are contrary to God's laws, and I rebelled against Him. Therefore, because He chose to forgive me, I choose to "deny myself" and follow/obey Him. This is not rocket science. Homosexuality is a sin."
God did not call me to give my opinion, He called me to speak what His word says.
As it states in Romans 1:21-27 "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 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."
As it also states in 1 Corinthians 6:9-12 it says, 9 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 12 Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”—but I will not be mastered by anything."
I'm just saying what His word states, if you don't like it don't get mad at me, take it up with the writer...I'm guessing He'll probably listen.
Thanks for reading
