THE GAY CHRISTIAN LIE

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (II Corinthians 5:17)

The prevalent thought in the world today is that Christians, the church, and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality. They claim that the Bible doesn’t forbid homosexual activity or that its commands aren’t valid for today, but were just a reflection of the culture in which the Bible was written. 

Anybody who wants to follow Jesus Christ needs to make it their goal to stay away from sexual practices that the Bible says are sinful. As Christian, Christ lives in you: “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Not next to you, not over you, but in you. That’s the deeper reason why a practicing homosexual cannot be a practicing Christian.

The same would go for anyone engaged in any sexual sin, just as Paul says in his first letter to the Corinthians, “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Certainly not!” (I Corinthians 6:15)

Gay Christians are liars. And so are those that support them. That’s not a difficult thing to state if you are familiar with the vortex of ideology currently being disseminated in churches by a small army of religion’s newest inbred religious movement. In an article in Christianity Today, a gay Christian supporter made this statement: “Salvation doesn’t change one’s sexual orientation any more than it changes one’s gender.”

Sound like it might be plausible? Actually, it's not. It's a stunning concoction of lies. This is what is termed a “false parallel” and an example of how homosexual apologists intricately layer falsehoods to confuse and deceive you.

The gay Christian uses a false construct as a shield to hide his false parallel. Sexual orientation is the false construct as it was crafted to reinforce the unproven idea that homosexuality is innate. Since they could not scientifically prove homosexuality to be innate/genetic (tho studies have been done) they created language as if it had been proven. Using this false foundation, he attempts to build a case that would reinvent the whole biblical understanding of salvation.

Evoking sexual orientation as a direct line equal to gender is false because gender is immutable, —never changing— whereas sexual preference (the appropriate term used before the invention of sexual orientation) does, in fact, change.

According to the scriptures, salvation has no original intent to change gender or any other immutable human characteristic nor has it ever. Thus the supposition about salvation is also false. The intent of salvation is to change the heart of man. "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:8-10).

But if a person experiences no change in the heart, there will be no subsequent change in sexual behavior. This is where the gay Christian ideology is like a wild weed amongst Christian truth. It excises the need for repentance, a significant prerequisite for salvation. Or they simply exempt themselves by declaring that same-sex love is no sin.

The entire gay Christian apologetic premise is built upon a presumption of deserved salvation. What a specious affront to both the cross and the blood of Jesus Christ. No one who boasts of a right standing before God based upon personal virtue or merit understands either who God is or who they are.

The Bible is very clear that all sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage is morally wrong. This prohibition includes same-sex sexual activity. Jesus himself taught that any sexual activity outside of marriage was “evil” and “defiling” (Mark 7:20–23; the term we translate as “sexual immorality” is the Greek word porneia, an umbrella term for all sexual activity outside marriage). Jesus taught that marriage is to be heterosexual (the introduction of marriage is an outcome of God having made humanity male and female (Matthew 19:3-6). The disciples balk somewhat at this high view of marriage (Matthew 19:11). From this, we see that living a sexually active gay lifestyle is forbidden in the Bible.

As with any sinful behavior, it’s not about being tempted, but about willfully engaging in activity that goes against God’s law. You can be a Christian and, at the same time, struggle with same-sex attraction. But you can’t be a faithful Christian while willingly involving yourself in homosexual acts.

It is possible for a Christian to struggle with homosexual temptations. Many homosexuals who become Christians have ongoing struggles with homosexual feelings and desires. Whether or not these desires and temptations exist does not determine whether a person is a Christian. The Bible is clear that no Christian is sinless (I John 1; 8, 10; I Corinthians 10:13).

While it is undeniable, biblically speaking, that homosexuality is immoral and unnatural (Romans 1:26-27), in no sense does the Bible describe homosexuality as an unforgivable sin. Nor does the Bible teach that homosexuality is a sin Christians will never struggle against.

What differentiates a Christian’s life from a non-Christian’s life is the struggle against sin. The Christian life is a progressive journey of overcoming the “acts of the flesh” (Galatians 5:19-21) and allowing God’s Spirit to produce the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22-23).

Yes, Christian’s sin, however, a true Christian will always repent, and return to God, and will always resume the struggle against sin. But the Bible gives no support for the idea that a person who perpetually and unrepentantly engages in sin can indeed be a Christian (I Corinthians 6:11).

Is it possible to be a gay Christian? If the phrase “gay Christian” refers to a person who struggles against homosexual desires and temptations, then yes. Such a person is not a “gay Christian,” but rather is simply a struggling Christian. If the phrase “gay Christian” refers to a person who actively, perpetually, and unrepentantly lives a homosexual lifestyle then no, it is not possible for such a person to truly be a Christian.
