Brother L.L.L. "IN THE BOX"15 years ago
Brother Tommy, God didn't make you that way. It is something you have decided. But it's okay, you can come back to the straight and narrow path.
ReplyDeleteDepends on what you mean by true Christian. Was Peter a true Christian prior to denying the Lord thrice? I know you like the thrice don't you.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that it is any different for a saved person to fall into false religion, or back into a worldly/sinful lifestyle.
I read a story in a magazine (I think it was Christian Athletes-something like that) while I was sitting in a dentists office. This story was about a man who grew up in church, but never accepted the Lord. While in college he was exposed to the world, in ways he never could have imagined. His mind was at war with the things he thought he knew and the things he was being introduced to. This man starting having homosexual relationships while in college and lasted several years after college. Still his mind was at war with himself, he still remembered those teachings from the Bible. This man finally accepted the Lord, but was still gay. Later, he would deal w/the call to preach. (First punk that says this is my story, I'm getting L.L.L.'s knife!!!) Anyway he decides to go STRAIGHT, and enrolls in some seminary (can't remember where, may have been San Francisco). This gay man, gets saved, goes straight, accepts the call to preach, goes to seminary, only to be seduced by one of his instructors. Now his mind is really messed up, what's wrong, what's right, is it acceptable or not. Eventually, this mans faith in the Lord and His Word, would bring him out of this lifestyle. He married, had a family, went to a different seminary and is now speaking all across the country against homosexuality, using God's Word.
It was very interesting, especially how he detailed his mind trying to grasp the truth.
So to answer your question, is it possible for a true Christian to be gay? No, but is it possible for a true Christian to fall into sin, such as homosexuality, yes. 1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
While I take heed, this is one of those things that Satan doesn't tempt me with (or at least he hasn't to this point). It's like the one who stole the money from the young children at our church. It just literally makes me sick to the stomach. Brother Mike has some interesting points about how certain sins, Satan tempts us with, and others he won't b/c of how deeply we stand against something. For example: Alcohol and cigarettes and drugs are not even the slightest temptation to me at all. But put me in a room with ABA preachers who tell me what I believe is wrong, and watch my face turn cherry colored and my voice rise.
ReplyDeleteOk, they accept Christ as Savior yet they fall into the sin of Homosexuality. SIN. Then they create a website entising others to join their Gay Christian group. What are they thinking?
ReplyDeleteQueers are not Christians, but a down right abomination to the Lord Jehovah. To all queer readers. I do love you, but hate your sin. Romans 1 teachers when given over to that lifestyle they are damned. So no they are not a Christian and I believe not even saved.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I did not use the word "Queer" to be hateful. When I say I do love the person but hate the sin that is exactly what I mean.
ReplyDeleteChristian is a 2 parter - 1) saved and 2) living like Christ. i don't know very many that deserve the title. A homosexual may or may not be saved (a saved person may do anything a lost person will in the realm of sexual temptation). Some examples of homosexuals are RC priests, TV evangelists, family members of people in your church who are homosexual, possibly church members). By this definition, a homosexual is not a Christian.
ReplyDeleteAmen Bro Arch Bishop. Agreeed!
