Have you ever meditated on Proverbs 17:15?
15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both an abomination [exceedingly disgusting and hateful] to the Lord.
The Word of God tells us plainly and clearly what is sin and what is not. To justify the wicked is to say, regardless of what the Word of God says, that there is nothing wrong with going against God's Word. To condemn the righteous is to call wicked what the Word of God says is good! It is totally opposite of what the One True God has declared is TRUTH! We are living in THIS time right now! The God of the Bible instituted marriage when He created Adam and Eve and said this 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
GOD said that marriage is between one man and one woman. Anything else is SIN! To say it is not is an abomination (exceedingly disgusting) to the One, True God. To speak against, act against, bring lawsuits against or harm in any other way those who stand up for the Word of God in these matters is an abomination (exceedingly disgusting) to the God of the Bible! The Good News is that God the Father sent God the Son into the world to be born a man, live AS a man without sin, BECOME sin with the sin of all mankind, PAY the price for sin on the cross, die the death we all SHOULD have died, rise again from death having DEFEATED death, hell and the grave! HALLELUJAH! Now we can receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, becoming a new creation with the Spirit of God living IN us (2 Corinthians 5:17)! Once we receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, we still have the nature of the flesh to deal with. This means that even though our spirits are reborn, we still have a soul (mind, emotions and will) that will continue to make selfish decisions that are contrary to God's Word (SIN)! When we sin by thinking, speaking or acting contrary to the Word, we have THIS promise in 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].
The only sin NOT covered by the Blood of Jesus is the sin of rejecting Him as Lord and Savior. However, though born again believers CAN receive forgiveness of sin, the Word of God has not changed! THIS is STILL an abomination in the eyes of God according to Leviticus 18:22:
22 You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination. AMP
Though the God of the Bible hates the sin, (because sin steals, kills and destroys, which is the work of the devil and NOT of God - John 10:10) He LOVES you! It is your CHOICE to agree with God or not! What will YOU choose? If you choose to agree with God, then you can receive your forgiveness and continue to walk in the promised blessings. If you choose to continue in sin, then you will leave the door wide open for the enemy to come in and steal, kill and destroy precious things in your life. CHOOSE WISELY!
