Sexual perversion

Leviticus 18:22 “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
This verse makes it clear that a man is not to be sexual with another man. Some want to argue that they were born with sexual
feelings for men, so they do not see why it is wrong. Well, Paul said in Ephesians 2:3 that we are all sinful by nature. We are all
born with sinful desires, whether they are sexual desires, desire for drugs or alcohol, or a desire to seek after worldly things,
making idols of hobbies or possessions. The fact is, we are all born with evil desires, this is why Jesus said in John 3:3 that we
must be born again. When you are born again, you will no longer have those desires. It is an abomination for a man to be
sexual with another man as he would a woman. We are to be pure and not defile ourselves with sexual sins. God was very
serious about this law in the Old Testament.
Leviticus 18:30 “Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were
committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.”
It is also a sin for a person to be sexual with an animal.
Leviticus 18:23 “Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to
lie down thereto: it is confusion.”
These things were considered to be sexual perversion that was forbidden in the Old Testament so severely that the penalty for
committing such acts was death.
Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they
shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
Leviticus 20:15-16 “And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. And if a woman
approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their
blood shall be upon them.”
Do not get confused by those who say the Old Testament laws to not apply to us today, because that is not true. Some of them
have been changed, but unless the New Testament was to say otherwise, the Old Testament still stands.
Jesus said in Luke 16:17, “And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.”
God’s law cannot fail, not the Old Testament, not the New Testament, not even one tittle, meaning that everything that is written
is infallible. Beside, even if you do not believe the Old Testament, the New Testament still stands.
Romans 1:26-27 “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into
that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward
another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was
meet.”
Paul clearly says that men being sexual with other men is a vial affection that is unseemly.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Effeminate is translated from the Greek word, malakos, which can be defined as a man who submits his body to unnatural
lewdness or has homosexual relations with another man. Again, this makes it clear that a man is not to be sexual with another
man. You must believe what the scripture says. Unless of course you pick and choose what verses you want to believe in.
However, in that case, you are not a true believer, but an idolater who has made your own god to satisfy your desires. You must
believe the Bible, not just parts of it.
