Last year I received a letter from a homosexual who wrote:<\/p>\n
\nJesus Christ didn\u2019t say any word regarding sexual orienation! Only Saul from Tars and abearation from Leveticus and Deuteronomy are cited (aberations that can not be applied nowadays without being sent to prison, because now we cannot murder someone so easy, as it was in that time)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This statement is spread among immoral people that practice homosexuality and they call \u201caberation\u201d every part of the Scripture that condemns their sin and they don\u2019t admit that it was inspired by God as a part of the Holy Scriptures. If thieves, drunkers, etc. do the same, it is interesting what remains from the Holy Book. God doesn\u2019t allow anyone to act in this way regarding His Truth let on the pages of the Holy Scriptures, and everyone who neglects the Bible will answer for this before God Himself. So, according to the opinion and the statement of the author of the letter and of all members of the homosexual and lesbians community, the Lord Jesus \u201cdidn\u2019t say any word concerning the sexual orientation\u201d.<\/p>\n
I want to make an analysis of the texts from the Gospels, where the Lord Jesus talks concerning the sin of sodomy, named so, because of the city of Sodom, that is mentioned in the Bible and that was destroyed by God with fire and brimstone from heaven, because of their many sins. The one that crowns them all is the sin of homosexuality. I advise you to read the biblical passage found in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, chapter 19 to find out more about that event. But, in this article I want to refer to the New Testament only and especially to Gospels, that relate the life and the activity of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
The Lord Jesus mentioned the people who lived in the city of Sodom for three times, especially those who were destroyed as punishment for their homosexuality. The Gospel of Matthew has one of this references and the other two are found in the Gospel of Luke. Let us make a short analysis of each of these passages.<\/p>\n
Homosexuals from Sodom could have repented if they had heard the Gospel<\/strong><\/p>\n
When Jesus rebuked people from the localities where He had performed His greatest marvels, because they didn\u2019t repent, He said:<\/p>\n
\nAnd you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. (The Gospel of Matthew 11:23\u201324)(NASB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Men from Sodom were extremely violent homosexuals. The book of Genesis relates us that when Lot invited into his house those three men who came into the city, not knowing they were angels, \u201cbefore they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, \u201cWhere are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.\u201d When Lot tried to confront them, peacefully and tactfullly, he said: \u201cPlease, my brothers, do not act wickedly.\u201d They acted according to their wickedness and violence settled in the perversion of their heart, they shouted at Lot: \u201cStand aside!\u201d, furthermore, they said, \u201cThis one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.\u201d Angels struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway to take those men and abuse them sexually. This is the reality about homosexuals that are extremely violent.<\/p>\n
A 1998 study revealed that of the homosexuals surveyed, 62% had been threatened with a weapon and 85% had experienced significant property or financial loss from an angry partner. In addition, 39% had been forced to have sex against their will by a homosexual partner. You can find more dates concerning this on Internet, for example here is a source. If homosexuals are so violent with their partners, then the society should realize how dangerous it is to tolerate this kind of sexual conduct, shouldn\u2019t it? Most of them became homosexuals because they had been sexually abused by other homosexuals. But, let us look go back at the words of the Lord Jesus said in the the Gospel of Matthew. The Savior said that if homosexuals from Sodom had seen the miracles performed by Jesus Christ in Capernaum, they would have repented and their city would have existed until nowadays. If our Lord said that violent homosexuals would have repented, much more important it is to share the Gospel with homosexuals whom we know, so that they and the countries that are affected by their bad actions might live. The actions of homosexuals affect the society badly and this is an evil that spreads very quickly when it is tolerated by the society. All men from Sodom became homosexuals and so, they, their families and their city were destroyed. All paid the price of the sin: homosexuals for immorality and the whole society for indifference and tolerance of the evil that destroyed them.<\/p>\n
Homosexuals and all sinners will be judged because they do not accept Jesus Christ<\/strong><\/p>\n
The first time Jesus metioned Sodom in the Gospel of Luke was when He \u201cappointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.\u201d (The Gospel of Luke 1:1\u201316)(NASB). After He gave them instructions how to act with those who rejected them and the message of the Gospel, the Savior said:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for (inhabitants of) Sodom than for (inhabitants of) that city.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The conclusion is that if the disciples of Jesus, or Christians came and said to the inhabitants of that city about the salvation and forgiveness they could have in the Lord Jesus then violent homsexuals from Sodom would have repented. Why then homosexuals from nowadays are so bad that they do not want to accept Christians who come to bring them the message of the Gospel and forgiveness of their sin and the knowledge about the day of judgement, that Jesus Christ refers to? In the end of this message addressed to the disciples, the Savior said: \u201cThe one who listens to you (disciples) listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.\u201d<\/p>\n
An unexpected destruction came upon the indifferent homosexuals<\/strong><\/p>\n
The second passage from the Gospel of Luke, when Jesus Christ mentioned the homosexuals from Sodom for the second time is in chapter 17, where it is related about the day when the Son of Man is revealed. Here is the description of this day:<\/p>\n
\nIt was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. (The Gospel of Luke 17:38\u201330)(NASB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
People from Sodom were very concerned with their business, with their financial position and they didn\u2019t care about the immorality that was spreading and growing. They were not aware about the consequences that were to follow. Today is the same situation. Here is what the author of the message cited in the beginning of this article wrote to me:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe rest of us (homosexuals) have to pray that Basarabia may enter the European Union, as others have done, so that civilization may penetrate there too. It is the last hope for homosexuals from Moldova: to impose social tolerance from this place forgotten by God! Maybe this is a cause why Moldova is the poorest \u201ccountry\u201d from Europe, because the mentality you have<\/em> is so beackward\u2026 and inversely?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
According to this statement, immoral poeple\u2019s opinion is that civilization means financial position and toleration of immorality. If they don\u2019t have these things, then the country is \u201cforgotten by God\u201d. But the Word of God proves the contrary. Immorality destroyed the country and the inhabitants of Sodom. The fire that came from heaven burnt their properties, and no one escaped of this great disaster they had brought upon themselves with their own way of immoral living.<\/p>\n
All these three passages, where the Lord Jesus mentioned the homosexuals from Sodom confirm exactly the things written in the Old Testament concerning the sin of sodomy and its consequences. The Lord Jesus didn\u2019t deny anything that God had spoken in the Old Testament. How can immoral people say the Word of God is an \u201caberation\u201d and to say that \u201cJesus Christ didn\u2019t say any word concerning sexual orientation\u201d?<\/p>\n
If you are homosexual or you practice any other kind of immorality, stop. Don\u2019t disregard the Word of God and don\u2019t believe those who tell you it is an \u201caberation\u201d. Stop to perform those immoral things people from Sodom performed and do what the Lord Jesus said people from Sodom would have done if the Savior or His disciples had come to them. Repent! You have already heard the Gospel when you read this article. Repent from all you sins and stop to have dealings with people that practice these immoral things. Look for a church where people live in fear for God, and look for people who study and live according to the Word of God and make them your friends. In this way you will escape from the judgement that will come for all immorals and sinners. Reconcile with God.<\/p>\n
If you are a believer, do what Jesus would have done to homosexuals if Sodom hadn\u2019t been destroyed by the time He was on this earth. Do what the Lord Jesus said to His disciples to do when He sent then from city to city. Tell people about the salvation offered by Jesus Christ. Go to immoral people and tell them the message of salvation. Even if it seems to you their state is too low, and they do not have any chance to turn back to God. Don\u2019t be so sure. The Lord Jesus has hope and he waits for homosexuals and immoral people to repent. Be a true disciple of God and a witness of the Gospel.<\/p>\n
