So the other night at our park district girls softball practice, the subject of being gay came up in conversation. Amongst the girls, not me. They were talking about the tv show Glee and how some of the characters are gay. One girl started saying how it is ok with God to be gay. That's when I got involved. I told her that it is NOT ok with God. Homosexuality is a sin, and if you practice it you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. I told her that as Christians, we love the sinner and hate the sin. Then she proceded to tell me that it says in the Bible that it is ok to be gay. Really? Tell me where. It is not in there anywhere. I asked her when the last time that she read her Bible was. She couldn't tell me. I told her I could come up with a couple of Scripture passages that show that God is against this sin.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
Then 1 Timothy 1:8-11.
Then she wanted to know how come God made them gay. I told her that God didn't make anyone a homosexual. He gives us free choice. We can either choose to live for Him, or not for Him. He let's us choose.
She kept wanting to argue, but I just said enough was enough and continued practice. I feel for this younger generation. They are lost and need to hear the Truth. Not worldly lies.
