Does God love me as a lesbian or gay person? Most of us would immediately think "Of course, yes, as long as I change and become 'straight'".



GOD LOVES YOU, JUST AS YOU ARE!

God wants to change our hearts and not our fingerprints.

So many have believed that we are unloved abnormal and perverted, purely because we are "different" to heterosexuals.

God loves each and every one of us:

For God so loved the world, that God gave God's only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16, King James Version)

The keyword here is whosoever - that means lesbian and gay people too!

The most important thing we can ever do is commit our hearts to Jesus Christ, for that is what we are called to do.

What the Bible really says.

There are several scriptures discussing homosexual behaviour, however these require more than just an overview. We want to briefly highlight two of the most common scriptures used against lesbian and gay people, as our case in point.

What was the sin committed at Sodom and Gomorrah?

The sin that was such an abomination to God was injustice and inhumanity. Inhospitality so severe, that God could not find even one righteous person in the whole city.

What about Paul's condemnation in Romans?

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural 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 indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
(Romans 1: 24-27, New International Version)

We use this scripture as our case in point because it demonstrates just how easily homophobic and heterosexist polemics can claim too much.

What is the meaning of natural or unnatural? We have to understand the Scripture in the context Paul was writing it. Paul was, in fact, addressing idolatrous worship in the broadest context he knew, where pagan worship consisted of promiscuous sexual orgies in pagan temples.

Paul was most likely addressing heterosexual people who were taking part in ritualistic worship by sexual practices - this of course was and still is unnatural. It was unnatural for heterosexual persons to be with someone of the same sex, just as it would be unnatural for gay or lesbian persons to be with persons of the opposite gender.

One only has to read the entire first chapter of the book of Romans to realise the kind of people Paul was describing as evil doers and God haters. Loving Christians as we would know them to be just have to read a little further to see this.

28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

(Romans 1:28-31)

During this course, numerous scriptures are dealt with in-depth; facts and fallacies are lifted out. Through this course you too can be set free from doubt or prejudice.

Do you want to be set free?

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
(John 8:32, King James Version)

If we acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and we follow Christ with all of our hearts, then the Bible says that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things about Christ and lead us into truth (John 14:25-26). Remember greater is God in you than the devil that is in the world, therefore let us hold, cling to and trust God with all of our hearts and know that God's truth will set us free.

For it is truth which is founded in God's great love for all of us. It is a truth that drives out all fear.

Come and be set free.
