You Can Not be Gay and be A Christian

Before I begin, I want you to know that I am not homophobic, I do not hate you, I certainly do not condemn you. I hate your sin; I hate that the enemy tells you its ok. You cannot be a gay Christian; it is an oxymoron. Being a gay Christian, you are not serving the God you think you are, and you are not praying to the God you think you are. You are not too far gone and there is redemption in his holy name. So why can't you be a gay Christian?

When God designed man, he did so with Adam and Eve. He did not create another man or another woman in the case that Adam wanted to have a relationship with a man or in the case Eve with a woman. The very first two people God created were man and female. A relationship and a bond that honors the covenant of the bride of Christ. A same sex marriage does not fulfill or honor that covenant between God and man. There is no connection between two men or women like there is between a man and a woman, the way God intended. So, why stray from that? Why go against God's original plans for humanity?

Beyond theology and philosophy what does the bible itself have to say on the matter, after all that is the real question.

Leviticus 18:22 - "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

God himself sets boundaries for those who will inherit his kingdom, so what are they? 

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 states:

"Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God"

We can all cry and say that these are mistranslation or misinterpretations, but you do not get to blame the bible and say it has been mistranslated just so you may indulge in sin. Our God and our Bible is not wrong, your life is. Many of you have suffered to greatly and has led you to homosexuality and trans identity. Listen when I say there is no other identity you need other than your one in Christ. God makes it clear what will happen to those who twist his word in an effort to make their sin justifiable. And to those who reaffirm this delusion, shame on you. For you have taken an innocent spirit and twisted it. It is not to late to leave this life of sin behind, to go forth and live a new life. The very fact that we debate homosexuality to be a sin or not is the very reason you should stay away from it. I would rather stay far away from something that I do not know if it is a sin or not than indulge in it and have to explain it on judgment day. So, listen when I say if your right hand causes you to sin then cut it off, or if your eye causes you to sin gouge it out. If we must debate what is sin and what is not then cut if off. I would rather live a celibate life than one of sin to find out on judgement day that it was in fact a sin.

None of you are to far gone, none to sinful, none to evil for God.

So, for those reconsidering themselves remember the story of the adulterous woman.

Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, ^(2) but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. ^(3) As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.

^(4) “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. ^(5) The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

^(6) They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. ^(7) They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” ^(8) Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.

^(9) When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. ^(10) Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”

^(11) “No, Lord,” she said.

And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
