Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter

Page 62

One example of a primarily Gay congregation is the Metropolitan

Community Church 25 in Huntsville, Alabama according to a local news article on WHNT-TV. The pastor supporting homosexuality took issue with the pastor of the St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church, who’s nearby sign read: “Homosexuality is a sin that God hates.” In a predictable response

from the apostate church, the pastor said: “It’s very sad for any church to use their sign to promote hate. It goes against the Bible. God is a god of love!” This is not a new teaching. It existed 2,000 years ago. Apostle Paul taught in Romans 1-2 that Gays preached the same false message to their brethren

in biblical times, even though they knew it was evil and led to eternal damnation in the lake of fire and a second death.

“And even as they did not like to retain [or obey] God in their knowledge, God gave them [homosexuals and lesbians]

over to a debased mind [as vessels of dishonor in this world], to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife,

deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the

righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:28-32

“For certain men [and women] have crept in [to the Church] unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men [and women], who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord

God and [His Son] our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:4

“For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness,

the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.” 2 Peter 2:18
