 Question 

I heard a homosexual say on a TV broadcast that God had created him that way.  Is this true?

 Answer 

No, it is not true!

1) God destroyed Sodom. The city was completely taken over by homosexuals. In Genesis 19:4 they completely surrounded Lot’s home, and in Verse 5 they wanted the men to come out "That we may know them." In Verse 7 Lot said, "Do not so wickedly." Their perversion is wicked. In Luke 17:29 "God rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all."

2) In the Old Testament, the homosexuals were to be put to death, as God knew how they would corrupt society and pervert a nation against God. (Leviticus 20:13). Even some high schools have "Opposite Sex Day" where boys can dress up as girls and girls like boys. Deuteronomy 22:5 says, "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for all that do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God."

3) The Lesbian. In Romans 1:26 God says, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile (wicked or evil) affections: for even their women did change the natural use (wife and mother) into that which is against nature."

4) The Homosexual. In Romans 1:27 God says, "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman (being a husband and father), BURNED IN THEIR LUST one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of THEIR ERROR which was meet." In Verse 28 God says they have a reprobate mind. Read the remaining verse for a chilling description of those who practice these perversions.

5) I Kings 15:11,12 describes Asa, king of Judah. "And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord...and he took away the Sodomites out of the land."

6) Many years later the Sodomites had infiltrated Judah again. King Josiah took action to bring the nation back to worshipping the Lord. In II Kings 23:7, "And he (Josiah) brake down the houses of the Sodomites that were by the house of the Lord..."

7) In Corinth some were saved by trusting Jesus Christ as their Savior. In I Corinthains 6:9, "effeminate" is pertaining to homosexuals and lesbians. In Verse 11 we are told, "And such were some of you; but ye are washed; but ye are sanctified; but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God."

8) We are to witness to the homosexuals. Christ died for them, too; so they could have eternal life. But, the Christian is not to be brainwashed into condoning their lifestyle. More and more, we are hearing the testimonies of homosexuals who have trusted Christ and denounced their past ways as nothing more than perversion.

Remember--God created Adam and Eve--not Adam and Harry!
