JD: Think it’s important for us to consider what the word of God has to say about what constitutes a marriage no matter what society might have to say about it.
DJ: Actually going back to the very creation which I think is very important where God established the institution of marriage at the end of Genesis 2:24 we read therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh. Jesus confirmed and affirmed this in referencing this in a confrontation with the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 19 where he quotes that. And Jesus said, so then they are no longer two but one flesh. And I would contend that in Genesis chapter 1 where God says let us make man in our images when man and woman come together in the sexual union in connection with marriage that they most fully represent the image of God in man as they join together. And homosexuals whether it be two men or two women they can never fully reflect the image of God in man and they can never come together in a one flesh union. So it goes directly against the institution of marriage.
JD: He has also told us very clearly what is not acceptable to him; explain that to us David.
DJ: The apostle Paul said in I Corinthians 6:9 that neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites and he goes on to say none of these along with these and so on will inherit the kingdom of God. In the law of Moses going back to Leviticus 20 he says if a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman both of them have committed an abomination and shall be put to death. Now we don’t put homosexuals to death. And it goes on to say in Leviticus this is in the context that even bestiality or a man in an incestuous relationships as well. So, they’re all categorized together as abominations to the Lord.
JD: David James giving us what God does and says about homosexuals in the Bible.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
As it relates to the issue of homosexuality it does not
matter what man says but what God says. In Genesis chapter 19 we see that God
destroyed a homosexual community. In Romans chapter 1 the Lord turns
homosexuals to a reprobate mind and then turns his back on homosexuality. In
Luke chapter 17 Jesus said that the time of his second coming will be a time
when homosexuality is rampant in our world. God does not hate homosexuals he
hates homosexuality which sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
