TV Homosexuality

I for one am sick and tired of seeing homosexuality on TV. Not sure about you.

I am not a homophobe, I just do not think it is right. It is plain and simple as that.

They say that 2 to 3% of the population is homosexual, then why does it seem like on TV it is around 25 to 33%? Furthermore, who says that homosexuality is okay? This is an attempt to desensitize us to homosexuals and drive us further and further away from God and it is working.

Now understand this and understand it well, just because I do not agree with a persons lifestyle does not mean that I do not love them. As a Christian, I am ordered to love my neighbor and that includes homosexuals as I love myself.

Christ loved everyone, but He did not accept their lifestyle. In fact, He would tell them routinely to go an sin no more.

Now a lot of homosexuals and those that support homosexuality reference the old testament story of Sodom and Gomorrah as though homosexuality was okay, it is rape that is not. They say that this story is all about men raping other men and I can see their point of view to a degree. So, lets really look at this story for what and what was not said.

The men of the town wanted to have sex with the angles and it did not matter if they were willing or not, hence the rape part. Lot went outside and said do not do this wicked thing, but was he talking about the rape or men having sex with other men? It is not really stated.

So lets look at what Lot does say. He offers his two daughters who have never slept with a man as sacrifices. Notice he did not offer himself as one of those to whom the men could have sex with. Why?

Instead of rape is it possible that the act of a man having sex with another man with or against his will was so heinous that it could not be over looked. So why did Lot offered his two daughters who would have been raped had they accepted? Is it because even though it would have been rape, it is what is supposed to happen naturally instead of men having sex with other men?

It does not matter if you agree with me or not, know this, that even in the New Testament homosexuality is considered wrong. Just read Romans 1:26-27.

Romans 1:26-27 New International Version (NIV)

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

As a followup, people want to say that God loves homosexuals and He does, but He loves all of us the same. However, that does not mean He will not punish us all in the same manner if we do not come to Jesus Christ. In other words, we can choose our sin or we can choose God, but we cannot have both.

So the real question is what are you going to do about the openness and acceptance of homosexuality? Are you going to love or hate your neighbor? In this case, hate may be accepting their behavior and love may be telling them that what they are doing is wrong. Hate would be rejecting them while love would not be acceptance of their actions, but acceptance of them as a fellow child of God. In other words, as our pastor says, “Love them until they ask you why?”
