1 Samuel 18:1-4 says this:
1 When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own life. 2 Saul took David that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. 3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own life. 4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, even his sword, his bow, and his girdle.
Why am I sharing this today? Because THIS is the Scriptural way for men to love men and women to love women! The argument that people give in support of the homosexual lifestyle is that people should be able to love whomever they choose! That is TRUE! THIS type of love shown above! David loved Jonathan and Jonathan loved David, enough to give their lives for one another! THIS love did NOT involve sex, however, much to the dismay of many who would like to use this passage to legitimize this lifestyle choice! What does God have to say about this lifestyle choice in His Word? Here are two examples:
Lev 18:22 You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination. AMP
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 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. KJV
Shalom in Him!
