Ethics of Homosexuality
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Today we will do some “straight shooting” on the subject of the “gay life.” We are going to take some time to talk intensity about what the Bible says of Homosexuality. We will discuss some of the current thoughts and trends of sexual orientation. And we will review some of the tragedies, dangers, and the way to freedom from the homosexual lifestyle.
Homosexuality has made alarming inroads into our society
• Television “Queer eye for the straight guy.”
• Parades – “Gay Day” at Disney World, in Orlando
• Songs - “Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other.”
• Politics – Hawaii, Massachusetts, San Francisco, Portland
The Biblical Arguments
Genesis 2:24
God created Adam and Eve, not Adam & Steve
Marriage is ____ man and ____ woman becoming ____ flesh
Sex is clearly restricted to restricted to marriage - Exodus 20:14
Genesis 19:4 – 13 - God destroyed Sodom for their depravity
Leviticus 18.22 – it is a serious perversion
You shall not lie with a man as you would with a woman
All sin ____ the same - even the smallest sin is repulsive to God
All sin is _____ the same - Some sins have weightier consequences
Romans 1:22-27 Homosexuality is not the way God made us
Jude 1: 7 Sodom is an example of the vengeance of eternal fire.
Current Thoughts and Trends
The “Gay Gene?” - There is no genetic evidence
Would a murdering gene make murder ok? Or a raping gene?
Genes or no genes, we all must battle our own private demons
The Right to Privacy
“It’s not really breaking the law unless I get caught.”
Some things are not allowed in the closet: eg Rape or Murder…
What about monogamous homosexuality?
_________________ doesn’t make sin any better
How do we know they are committed friends or committed lovers?
What if a woman wants to have a civil union with her daughter?
Why not for me and my horse? …my two “faithful” lovers?
God loves Gay people just the way they are
John 3:16 For God _______ the world - so they would not perish
Romans 5:6 Christ died for the ungodly – to make them godly
Romans 5: 8 Christ loves sinners - but he __________ sin
Romans 5:10 God reconciled enemies – he wants us to change
Change is possible- 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Sinners will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Such _________ some of you, but you were justified by Jesus!
Hundreds have been able to find freedom – so can you!
Contrary to common myth, Christians are not instructed to be homosexual haters. We are instructed to, as Jude 23 says, save them with fear, pulling them out of the fire, even though we detest their very clothes which have been defiled by the flesh. That’s real love. Love is not leaving the man to his sin, love is caring enough to reach out and pull them out into a saving relationship with Jesus.
