Homosexuality, Same Sex Unions: A Sin, not a Civil Right

  Our society has begun to embrace the gay rights movement.  The Lifestyle is advocated in many schools and social venues.  Because of this, the majority of people are beginning to sympathize with the movement.  The shift in sentiment has a lot to do with the propaganda they push on people.  None of their arguments really show how homosexuality is good for them or for society.  The deviant sexual behavior is really a sin and should not be considered a civil right.  Let me explain why.

• Point 1: People were not made Homosexual by God, warped thinking made them that way

The idea that same sex unions goes against the natural order should be self evident to everyone.  Anybody with a basic understanding of human anatomy and physiology should recognize the deviancy from nature.  If nature’s design reflects the designer (and it does), then creation itself reveals that homosexuality was not intended by God.  The fact that Scripture explicitly prohibits this sexual behavior makes the point only clearer.  Despite what they would tell you, homosexuals are not born that way.  The orientation of their thinking makes them that way.  As a man thinks in his heart so is the man.  God allows you to think for yourself.  Entertain dark fantasies and God will give you over to them.   Vile passions are always fueled through darkened thinking.  The feelings may burn hot, but they always need thinking to fuel them.  Change the way you think and you will change the way you feel.  Lust is not simply a desire. It’s an all consuming desire that must fulfill itself at all costs.  It’s a craving for whatever substitute a person has made in their heart for the living God.  They crave because they lack.  They lack because they attempt to satisfy themselves with what only God can fill.   Romans chapter one reveals to us that the passions of homosexuality are really spawned from the void people have in their heart for God.  Be filled with God’s Spirit and the lusts of your flesh will dissipate.  Homosexuality is a sin because it falls short of the standard of life God really intended people to have.

• Point 2: Homosexual passions are not really love, they are only Lust

Why does God prohibit homosexual behavior?   Because lust can never love, it can only bring hate.   A person cannot give love if they don’t have it.  Lust cannot give what it lacks.  It lacks love because it lacks God. It’s not simply a matter of procreation or allowing children to have a mother and a father as some stress. God labels homosexual behavior as an abomination; the word means to incite loathing and hatred rather than love. By saying this, God labels the orientation as unadulterated lust; it is not really love at all.  The Bible always prohibits things that destroy love and do harm to society.   Of course, homosexuals would differ calling their unions a bond of Love.  An all knowing God sees it differently and calls it for what it really is.  The feelings two homosexuals share for each other is not the love they would have you think.  The love they try to justify their actions by.  I explain further why lust can only ruin love in other posts.  Scripture explicitly describes how homosexuals burn in their lust for one another and how their lust utterly corrupts them.  Corruption always implies things that are good are made evil.  If your passion becomes your God, then you are now willing to do any evil thing to get it- even if it means harming others.  The seeds of lust always bear their thorns in time.  The Scriptural prohibition aims to weed out lust from working evil in the world.   Lust always fall short of being able to love;  so homosexual lust can only be equated with sin.

• Point 3: The lust homosexuals harbor can be seen in their actions.

 All a person has to do to see homosexual passion as a lust is look at the their behavior.  The fact that homosexuals push to reform religion should show you how sex supercedes God in their eyes.  Their willingness to defy city and state ordinances only shows how their passions trump their respect for law.  When they parade their behavior with pride in the streets  they show their lack of regard for public decency.  They are in your face about it.  Lust does not really care for your sensitivities; whether you  want your children to see such behavior or not.  A tree can be known by it’s fruit.  Common decency tells most heterosexuals not to flash their sexual behavior before people in society they might offend.    Being courteous requires someone first to be loving.  Serving your own personal interests to the detriment of others cannot be called love by any sense of the word.  Lust by definition will have nothing stand in it’s way- whether it be God, Laws, or even you.   Most heterosexuals do not experience the level of lust the average homosexual  burns with.   Fulfilling their lust becomes all important to them, even if it means stepping on people to get it.  Real homosexuality is far more promiscuous than the monogamous gay couples portrayed on TV sitcoms.   Headlines around the world describe how myriads of homosexual priests used their position of power to molest unsuspecting altar boys.   Herein lies the danger of this orientation both for individuals and for society at large.  I write more about it’s impact on society in other posts.  When your feelings get the best of you and you care little for how it impacts others , it can only be called sin.

• Point 4: Homosexuals Lust will always struggle against everyone to have it’s way

Their struggle for gay rights only exhibits their blatant attempt to impose their will on others.  They insist on separation of church and state when it comes to their behavior.  I really question the conventional wisdom of keeping morality out of the political arena.   A society can only go down when morals have no bearing on political decision making.  Homosexuals would not have you impose your morality on to them, but they would compel you  to recognize their union through the power of the state.  They have no objection with politically imposing their own ideology.  They do not oppose sneaking their propaganda into schools.  Laws are being used to promote their personal agenda.  This is not justice, but preference.  It’s only homosexual lust struggling to have it’s way with people.  If this were not the case, why do homosexuals press society to recognize their civil unions?  How can you say it won’t infringe upon the religious freedoms of others?  Compelling society to paint sin in only a positive light could only be called religious repression.  Anything that is unjust can only be referred to as a sin.

• Point 5: Arguments for advocating Homosexuality are really fallacious.

No matter how gay people may try to paint it, none of their arguments really justify their behavior or prove it as beneficial.  Comparing your relationships with bad heterosexual relationships, does not legitimize homosexuality.  One bad deed can never justify another one.  Citing bias clinical studies does nothing to affirm your position.  Neither does referencing unrelated past historical events. Dogmatic assertions alone cannot prove your point.  Just because it can be done, does not mean that it should be.  Just because ‘everyone is doing it’ does not make the behavior all of a sudden right.   This is not an attack on gay people.  I am not their enemy because I tell them the truth.  We don't do homosexuals any favors by not telling them the truth.  Dismissing someone as a homophobe or a bigot only attempts to silence the discussion.  A person normally resort to such ad hominem attacks once their position cannot be defended through reason.  Open mindedness implies an openness to reason.  The emotional intensity behind their lust makes it very hard for gay people to be reasonable.   Wanting something really bad always makes it hard not to be bias.  When people fail to see and appreciate truth, it can only lead to sin.

• Point 6: Society’s Sanction of Homosexuality will result in many unintended consequences.

Giving unabridged lust the freedom to indulge itself is certainly a pandora’s box. What was once relegated to the closet has become sanctioned and is now being imposed upon everyone worldwide.  Allow weeds to flourish and they will choke out every good plant in the garden.  Why is it like this? Lust will only want it’s way and will not tolerate what stands in it’s way.  Once they have their might, they will press their right.  The consequences for opening these doors are even far more reaching.  Legalize one deviant behavior and equity will require you to legalize all deviant behavior.  Make one form of lust a civil right and every other alternative form will demand it’s equal access.  This is not a fallacious slippery slope as some would accuse.  The chain reaction can be clearly demonstrated.   Groups advocating pedophilia and beastiality are already demanding the entitlements afforded to homosexuals under the law.  Tailor the laws to suit your own tastes and the precedent has been set to do it again.  When a given action brings unforseen troubles and misfortune, it can only be qualified as sin.

• Point 7: Morality’s is not just a religious custom but an objective safeguard.

We say all things are permissible provided they do not harm anyone.  If they do harm others, they should never be considered an equal right under the law.  Morality differentiates for everyone whether a particular conduct is good or bad; whether it is loving or not.  Morality is not just a point of view or opinion; it is an objective standard.  If Homosexuality really fuels evil as the Bible implies, the activity should be prohibited to protect society.  Apply the same rule to everyone and no one could call it discriminatory.  Only allow people to practice moral sexual relations and the law would prove fair and equitable for all.  It’s not simply a matter of religious custom.  Every action holds a consequence.  A person always reaps what they sow.  Divine retribution always entails inheriting the consequence of your ways.  Society needs to make laws that safeguard everyone.  Fail to safeguard society as God intended and it can only be referred to as sin. 

God can always forgive sin, but receiving forgiveness always requires repentance.  If you don’t like the course your life or society is taking, you only have to be willing to change course.  Practice homosexuality and you will be destroyed by you way.  Change your way and you can very well change your outcome.
