What you're about to discover is completely Scriptural. We challenge you (in the spirit of the Bereans) to challenge our theology as you read for yourselves. Regarding sexuality & gender issues, the whole world has been deceived; -& sadly the "church" as well. The toll has been devastating on too many levels.
Caveats: What you learn here will likely disenfranchise you from whatever "sect" you associate. Narrow is the path that leads to life & few find it. If you love tradition above truth then your denomination will be your destruction. Purpose in YOUR HEART to ACCEPT GOD'S WILL. Consider HIM TRUE & every man a LIAR. Scripture TRANSLATORS are men. Always go to the SOURCE text. Evaluate smaller issues in light of the big picture! Doing so helps frame your reasoning process.
Leviticus 19:19 forbids mixing different sorts. The word "HOMO-SEXUAL" consists of a GREEK PREFIX "HOMO", & a LATIN SUFFIX "SEXUALIS". What does Leviticus 19:19 forbid again?
Wow! In God's Courtroom, the very term "HomoSexual" is FORBIDDEN! Speaking the word is an "abomination". So if you've been saying it, STOP! If you want to petition God in prayer, you need to use HIS WORDS, not man-made linguistic-abominations!
You need to FIND A DIFFERENT TERM. What word in the SCRIPTURE conveys the same meaning as "HomoSexual"?
None! The term itself is a DECEPTION. Forbidden for a REASON!
Now, if you mean "Same-Gender-Attractions"...the Scripture does address that issue, but NEVER in a condemning way. I know what you're thinking about Moses Law, [man laying with mankind (as w. a woman)] & Romans 1, etc. We don't dismiss them. Actually, we rely heavily on the original intent of those very texts! The problem has been sloppy exegesis (loose binding) of. Gender is not an issue (Gal 3:28). "Sin" is action that hurts others. Moses law forbids contact with human dung; -& today we know that AnalSex is an explosive disease spreader.
So, what's the ACTUAL prohibition? Hmm?
