Homosexuality and God
I had great doubts writing about this topic because of its controversy, but I decided I will, reason being there is a need for it to be talked about. I don’t mean to offend anyone by this post; I felt a need to write about it because it affects us all. We all have family members or loved ones subjected to this issue, so why not talk about it?
We all know what the Holy book says about this issue (I’m not even going to get into that) so I don’t need to quote verses or what not.
1st Scenario: We often hear that a girl (it can be a boy too) at young age of as early as 5 years old or so started liking being in the company of boys, playing with boys toys, and not mixing up with other girls etc.. Of course at that time the girl doesn’t know anything, she is totally innocent and merely acting what she feels. This girl grows up, when reaching her teenage years she realizes there is a configuration accommodating the way she has been feeling since she was young (lesbianism). The girl decides to date girls of course. The fact is she has been feeling this way since she was young.
And then the Holy book comes and says what it says. Whose fault is it that she has been feeling the way she does all her life? Do we blame God for make her feel the way she does?
2nd Scenario: On the flip side, we have people who suddenly realize they have feelings for the same sex when they are in their 20’s, 30’s, 40s or even 50s for that matter; some after being married to an opposite sex. Some of them, just want to experiment whilst some have genuine feelings towards the opposite sex. What do we then say? Does the first Scenario girl/boy deserves to be categorized with people who just want to experiment? People who are ‘claiming’ to be homosexuals?
Well here is my view:
Well I personally cannot blame the 1st scenario girl, it’s not her who decided to feel the way she does. At the same time how do we entwine the 1st scenario girl with the holy book, because it’s really not her fault?
Well I like referring to ‘homosexuality’ as a rooted issue, not a surface one. We should not look at the surface that people are homosexuals but we neglect reasons behind their homosexuality/ what caused them to be homosexuals in the first place. Why did the girl like handing around boys at an early stage? She is young, innocent and doesn’t know anything about homosexuality, why then do it?
See there comes a time when we should look at such issues as a societal problem not only a problem for people who are affected. We are all to blame for letting our society be what it is today. We are to blame for letting the enemy take hold of us and rule the world the way he does. We eventually lost control, he rules and there is nothing we can do about it. He now penetrates through our innocent children because of our sins (remember what the holy book says). The only way this gonna end is if society goes back to God, otherwise we are running a non-ending race.
Just my opinion.
I didn’t mean to preach but it’s what it is.

i hear u sis! but i think in the 1st scenerio her parents shud have taught her sumthin! yeah shes innocent and naive but it's her parents job to let her know that hangin out wit boys is ok and so is liking them! i mean sum are just tomboys @ that age cuz i was! but confusion comes along when parents dont get involved in the situation! that's just my opinion!
dang i said a whole bunch but then it got erased! LOL! but n e who...i was just sayin in the 1st scenerio that her parents shud have played a big part in that! they shud have taught her that hangin out wit boys is ok and so is liking them! sumtimes gurls r just tomboys! i was 1 @ that age! but my parents taught me wat was in the bible! that homosexuality is an abomination to God! so yeah she's naive and innocent, but the parents need to get involved cuz that's where the confusion comes in!
What a topic, gal! you brave thing you, for bringin this up! Here's how I see this whole thing ( from a christian point of view, sorry but um gonna preach a lil bit)my bible tells me that when God created a man and a woman, He said "atang le ngatafale le tlale lefatshe" in other words, procreate, grow, be many. Now having said that (to those who say they are born this way) why would God now make a woman have feelings for another woman, same for men? how then now do they procreate? i dont think God would do that if His intentions were that we must grow and be many.
For some it's a choice, for whatever reason they feel that they'd be happy and fulfilled with a person of the same sex. I dont know any gays or lesbians personally but I have no problem with how they CHOOSE to live their lives, it's for God to do the judging.
Homosexuality and God...
For one, I think we need to incorporate biblical principles in our day to day living. The bible is clear about it. It does not mean that anyone is condemning those who are homosexual or lesbian - when we come to the cross, we come as we are - with all of our filth and dirt, needless to add - and remember sin is sin to God - it is not measured in varying magnitudes and that is what makes Him a Just God.That means that ur child who stole ur jewellery and wore it without ur permission - and a murderer, have a lot in common! I do realise and agree that there are alot of things in this world that influence our day to day living - and whether we are taught better or not, the choice ultimately remaims in our hands. If a child is not taught what is right and what is wrong according to God's standards, one can only expect them to make choices that make sense to them. To me sexual perversion includes adultery, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, lesbianisms, incest, rape...et.c because they all deviate from God's initial and continued idea/will of sex within the context of marriage between a consenting man and consenting woman. I do not condemn those who the are gay - NEVER indeed would i condemn them, just as i do not condemn liars (which most of us are), thieves, fornicators (which is now seemingly a trend - need i say more?)et.c I simply condemn the act of sexual perversion. And let me add, that we are continually changed by the grace of God, as the Holy Spirit works a work of perfection in us for His glory. So what do we say with this then? Do we blame people for being who they are? Do we blame soceity? How about our role in it? Let's teach our children the word of God - let's pray without ceasing - But the choice is yours because God will not strive with the spirit of Man. He cannot interfere with your own will or choice.
All the gay people are loveable!
Wow, this is great...I totally agree with all the comments above. As I was reading thorough I realised it all draws back to 'Responsibilty'. We all aught to be responsible at our homes, start teching our children what is right and wrong in the eyes of the Almighty.
Not that all parents who have gay kids didnt teach them right from wrong, as I said on the original posting; sometimes a kid just has a liking of opposite sex and doesnt wanna play with kids of his same sex.That is certianly beyond parents' control. All they can do is talk to the child, if he doesnt wanna listen then what?...they can beat up the child but that will not change anything.....I have heard of such cases.
Wow...
In my opinion, you can't help who you fall in love with. Weather it's with the same or opposite sex. On the flip side of that, it's also a CHOICE! You choose to live that lifestyle. As child coming up, you are told right from wrong. Thats why God gave us all parents to help guide us throughout life. If a child is never taught, then who is to blame? Certainly can't blame the child b/c they don't know any better. It's the parents responsiblity to teach a child. Child can't raise themselves. But if a person who is a consenting adult decided they don't want to be with the opposite sex any longer, then it's a choice. Don't blame God for YOUR decisions in life. He gave us ALL free will. You know the 10 Commandments and in the beginning He made Adam and Eve. Two men and two women can not replenish the earth with human life. A man and woman can tho and that was His intent. No way am I in any form or fashinon judgeing anyone who is a lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, tri-sexual. Thats not my place to do so. I'm just hear to tell you that it's not for me to be any other way but God's way. To each is own...just don't bring that mess around me.
Good discussion! I also want to let anyone who is gay know that there is hope for them whether they were born with this inclination or they fell into it while experimenting. There has to be a point where everyone agrees that this is normal and that is not.If I have a kleptomania problem I cannot say that I was born that way so people should let me steal!! I should seek help because I know that it is WRONG.The problem with the world now is that we have agreed that NOTHING is wrong anymore.If it is appealing to your senses, it is your RIGHT to do it, the world says.God says that at the end of the day EVERYONE will have to face Him and will account for all that they did and said.So ultimately He is the One who must determine what is right and what is wrong...we must seek to fit into that..and He promises to help those that seek His ways!!
Plus God is the only one who knows what in our hearts. Like the last post said it's not our place to decide whats right and whats wrong. We are all taught differently and whose to say that my teaching are right and yours are wrong, vice versa. Like I said keep that mess to yourself cuz I will bust you one if you call yourself getting fresh with me or around me.
