“Homosexuality”

Monday, June 27, 2016

I am a Christian.  There is no doubt in my mind about that.  I have done all kinds of reading, talking, praying, and research on homosexuality.  I get very mixed reviews.  Basically, do you think God knows your heart in the aspect of being in a committed long-term relationship and how you truly feel?  It's not about lust, sex, etc... it's about real feelings.

Sincerely,

Dear Looking For Answers,

People may give mixed reviews on homosexuality, but the Bible is very clear – a homosexual lifestyle is a sinful lifestyle.  Rom 1:27 makes it clear that homosexuality is one of the deepest forms of depravity in this life.  Jude 1:7 makes it clear that God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because the people “went after strange flesh”, i.e. homosexual behavior.  From the beginning, God designed romantic and physical relationships to be between one man and one woman – for life (Matt 19:4-6).  Any other type of relationship is wrong.  A committed, long-term, homosexual relationship is simply a long-term and committed sinful relationship.
