Will be meeting with some of my spouse's friends who are rabidly pro-sexual deviancy, some of whom claim to be Christian. They've expressed a potential interest in talking to me about being pro-deviancy, so I need to prepare a defense of the faith in this regard and hopefully get the supposed Christians thinking on the right track.
So I would like any help /christian/ would like to offer. The most challenging aspect I face in this regard is the mental gymnastics regarding the original Hebrew and Greek. I'm almost sure they will regurgitate something they read or saw on a blog about how AKSHUALLY it doesn't really say that (like vid related)
I'll start off with some relevant verses:
Leviticus 20:13:
>If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Though we no longer follow the Law, it shouldn't be overlooked that this was a capital punishment, and something that God called an abomination.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11:
>Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Paul reiterates that homosexual behavior is still a sin.
Romans 1:25-27:
>because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
>For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Paul explains that homosexuality was part of the rebellion against God, being an unnatural affront to God's purpose for Man.
Thanks bros, and wish me luck in being God's instrument to straighten the path made crooked.
