The argument that so many activists for same sex marriage give is that everyone has the right to love whomever they choose. Look at 1 Samuel 18:1-4 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today:
18 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.
What these people are missing is the TRUTH that love is NOT the problem here! What they are really speaking of is sex! THAT is what is sin in the eyes of God, not love! Look at Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13:
Lev 18:22 You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination. AMP
Lev 20:13 If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. AMP
GOD'S plan for marriage is found in Genesis 2:24:
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. AMP
ANYTHING involving sexual activity outside of THIS is sin in the eyes of God. THIS, as with any other sin, has been dealt with on the cross once and for all! Messing around with sin, though, will still open the door to the author of sin, satan! He is also the father of all lies and the carrier of death, loss and destruction! Let's make it our determined purpose to avoid THIS at all costs! WHEN we fall into sin, then let's get ourselves immediately to 1 John 1:9:
9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. AMP
Sin kills, but the Blood of Jesus is more than enough for every situation IF we receive Him and all that He has accomplished for us! AMEN! There is a movement by some to try and force Christians to "remove" homosexual behavior from the "list of sins". Well, the news for these FOOLS (Psalm 14:1) is that the One, True God has already spoken on the matter, and good luck trying to change HIM! HE changes NOT (Malachi 3:6)! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with a song from their new album, "Empires", called "Prince of Peace":
Shalom in Him!
