Homosexuality Debate in the USA

What does the Bible really say about the Homosexual life style?
If you are a true Christian and a follower of Christ, the Bible is absolute truth.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. John 1:1 (NIV)
Picking and choosing what the bible says is idolatry, God in your own mind, which is sin and goes against the commandments of God. Ref. (Exodus 20:4, 2 Kings 17:15)
The current debate by secular groups, liberal groups and even some religions, say that Jesus never said anything about the Homosexual lifestyle or gay marriage. I even heard people say, that there is nothing in the Bible saying Homosexuality is wrong.
The purpose of this writing is to show that the Bible does say Homosexuality is a sin and completely wrong and to give you the verses in the Bible old & new testaments, to clarify this once and for all. This is not my opinion; this is what the Bible says.
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Leviticus 18:22 (NIV)
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Leviticus 20:13 (NIV)
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexual immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanders nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV)
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sin against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (NIV)
Remember Jesus said;
If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15 (KJV)
Which he refers to the Ten Commandments, which has already been written.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator – who is forever praised. Amen
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.
Furthermore, since they did not think it worth while to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind; to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-Haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1:24-32 (NIV)
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
Deuteronomy 22:5
The verses given pretty much explain themselves, the Bible was not written to pick and choose what you want, either you believe the Bible as absolute truth, or you don’t. Please study for yourself and pray and get closer to God, and read the truth. There is no such thing as a Homosexual Christian. Love the person, but hate the sin.
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in the whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15 (NIV)

Abortion

Over 45 millions babies killed through abortion;
The Fetus is fully human, every 3rd baby is aborted, 43% of women, average 1 child aborted in a woman’s child bearing years.
Harvesting of baby body parts; this is against Federal Law, but third party groups has found loop holds to get around this law, and harvesting is still being done.
Body part prices: Kidney - $125.00, Liver $150.00, Arms or Legs $150.00
Implanting parts into monkeys, animal & human hybrid & cloning. Death industry is big business.
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are the temple.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (NIV)
Partial birth abortion; was supposed to be used only to save the life of the mother, but 80% or more are purely elective.
Rick Santorum (R) Pennsylvania – pushed to stop partial birth abortion, along with the ACLJ and other groups, the law was signed by President G.W. Bush Nov. 2003 to ban partial birth abortion and the law was passed in April 18th, 2007.
Planned Parenthood.org – is command central for abortion, the organization has done more than any other organization. Started 70 years ago, with two or three volunteers with know experience. Now there is; 20,000 staff members & volunteers, 1000 clinics, 200 affiliates, makes around 25 million a year for the past decade. 1 trillion dollar budget.
Before Planned Parenthood there was around 15% abortions nation wide, after Planned Parenthood began, 51% abortion rate, now.
What would solve this problem “God” parental supervision and church attendance?
1 out of 6 – say she is a Christian (250,000) annually are aborted by Christians. I guess Planned Parenthood (abortion) is more important than the bible.
Minority women; Black women account of 14 % of women of child bearing years, but 31% of overall abortions. Hispanic women; account of 10.6% of women of child bearing years, but account for 20% of overall abortions, which both race groups account for a total 50% of all abortions in the USA, 49% of other. Twice the rate of white women.
If abortion was legal in past History
1. Preacher and his wife had 14 kids and in great poverty, and pregnant with number 15.
The 15 child was John Wesley (June 17, 1703 – March 2, 1791) was an 18th-century Anglican clergyman and Christian theologian who was an early leader in the Methodist movement.

The 5th child was Ludwig van Beethoven. (December 17, 1770 – March 26, 1827) was a German composer. He is generally regarded as one of the great composers in the history of music, and was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music.
3. White man raped a 13 year old black girl and got pregnant from that rape.
Her name was Ethel Waters (October 31, 1896 – September 1, 1977) was an Oscar-nominated American blues vocalist and actress. She was the second African American to ever be nominated for an Academy Award.
4. A teenage girl engaged and soon to be married and pregnant by someone else and the future husband was very upset.
His name was Jesus Christ. The son of God |

Picking the right Church

Hello,
I believe the Bible is absolute truth , Ref. John1 :1-2. The Bible must be preached as it's written, nothing taken out. I am saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost, with evidence of speaking in tongues. (Gifts of the spirit) Ref. 1 Corinthians 12:6-11. The church should preach on the end times as often as they can, to give warning. Ref. Matthew 24. But, most of all get people saved, then go from there. Ref. Romans 10:9-10. To many churches focus on keeping their members happy, but not God. To many churches are becoming more and more liberal and pulling away from the Bible's true teachings. If a church focuses to much on religious customs and not God, ex. praying to mother Mary, saints, idols etc., that is not the place to go. Idolatry is God in your own mind, picking and choosing whatever you want to believe, Oprah new age. A church should preach the trinity, God, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, (Godhead). Ref. John 14, the only way to heaven is excepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If a church is not preaching or teaching the trinity of the Bible, then they are considered a cult.
There is to much division in churches today, to many denominations which causes confusion, Ref. 1 Corinthians 1:10. Remember your true reference is the Bible, Ref. Hosea 4:6. Pray for God to give you direction and test the spirit of the church and the preacher, if they preach the Bible and nothing is contradicted and matches the word of God, that could be the church for you. If they preach on things that is not in the Bible or pushes it away as not relevant for today and it does not match the scripture of the Bible, then you know not to go there. Ref. Matthew 7:15-23. There are to many immature (baby) Christians, they do not study the Word of God and do not have a true relationship with Jesus Christ. You can be a good church member, but not a good Christian. Bible prophecy is coming true right before our eyes, we are living in the last days.
The rapture can happen at any time, Ref. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18., which is the first stage of His coming. Most of us may never see the inside of a coffin, It is that close

John the Baptist Generation
Ref. Malachi 4 - John the Baptist prophecy
Every 400 years there is a spiritual transition
The United States is in a spiritual transition right now.
Ref. Matthew 11:1-19, Luke 7:24
John the Baptist (cousin of Jesus) was preparing the way for Jesus Christ, preaching the word of God, making the crooked path straight. John the Baptist was the son of Priest (Zachariah). Fathers of the past had traditions, to much religion told to the children, you need to do it this way or that way. Kids become offended and do not go to church.
Ref. Mark 9
The routine of church got boring and didn't want to go, the same thing every week, church became tiring. You say you need a vacation, no, you need the Holy Ghost.
Breaking the Routine is what brings the Holy Ghost into the church.
John the Baptist
5-things that made him different
1. Dress - camel skins etc.
2. Diet - ate locust and wild honey
3. Doctrine - kept it practical
4. Delivery - different styles
5. Destination - make it to heaven
The anointing generation
Dress will be different, (no suits) 80% of men don't own a suit, men and boys think they need one just to come to church. Majority of women where slacks (not dresses), we lost a whole generation just because of dress.
Church people born and raised know the customs of church, but unbelievers do not know the customs of church. And they feel they can't meet church standards.
This generation knows the way to be saved, they have heard that over and over again. If music and sermons don't bless you, it want for everyone else. We need ministers for today's generation, that understands this generation. (That’s you)
We have internet, drugs, porn, homosexual lifestyles, cutting, suicides etc.
Some Denominations are split over one doctrine.
The power of the tongue
Preachers use to preach against prosperity back in the 80's, business owners wouldn't be going back to that church. We have people in church are poor, depressed and the power of the tongue is dangerous. Now day’s extreme prosperity is preached, a little too much on T.V. especially. It does take money to make things happen. Ref. Det. 8:18 – God wants us to be successful; there is nothing wrong with having money, the love of money is the problem for some.
Jumping up and down generation,
Holy Ghost moving and Jumping for joy.
Every generation has there own music, dance and message. There is spiritual transition right now. Dealing with political correctness, making sure Jesus is the only answer, no other way. So many false prophets around causing confusion not knowing what the truth is, to many religions and doctrines. If you watch TBN for 24 hours straight, you will be confused and not know what the truth really is.
This generation wants a Holy Ghost revival.
John the Baptist was in the wilderness with sinners, they came to him instead of a customary church. There are a lot of Church events with Christians only, so Christians hanging with Christians, but do not know any sinners, today's generation knows sinners.
Some Dress meanings:
Ankle bracelet: in some countries, represents prostitution.
Sagging pants: comes from the Prisons, represents you are a male prostitute.
Q & A:
Why do you think people dress a certain way. Ex. piercing,tattoos,dress styles of all types etc. Everything has a meaning through certain tribes and cults.
Ref. Leviticus 19:28 – marking and tattoos.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 – our body is a temple.
