3. THE HOLY INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE
The Bible makes it abundantly clear that homosexuality is an abomination to our holy God. Leviticus 18:22 says: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination."
I do not believe that homosexuals are born this way any more than I believe that murderers are born murderers. Prostitutes are not born prostitutes. Thieves are not born thieves. Those addicted to porn are not born addicted to porn.
All men and women are prone to sin in one way or another. The Bible says in Romans 3:23: "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." However, certain sins bring about judgment from God on the land, as well as cities, and one of these sins is homosexuality. It would be wrong for God to judge anyone who was a homosexual if they were born that way. However, because God calls homosexuality an abomination and brought terrible judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah for this sin, it is obvious that God Himself does not agree with those who believe they are born this way.
It is obvious that homosexuality is not natural. It is contrary to nature and against God who created the way male and female are to function as He ordained in order to populate the earth (Genesis 1:27, 28 and Romans 1:28, 29).
It is absolutely wrong for these people to demand that the God-designed, holy ordinance of marriage be applied to something that is not designed by God, and which is an abomination to Him. Genesis 2:24 says: "Therefore shall a MAN leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his WIFE: and they shall be one flesh."
Furthermore, many homosexuals want to have a Christian minister or priest to solemnize their vows to each other. This is a slap in the face to God. Any government, whether federal or state, that in anyway seeks God's protection on their city, state, or nation had better take heed and warning from God's Holy Word that they are breaking the commandments and laws of the Ruler of all the earth. He will hold them accountable at His Great White Throne of Judgment (Romans 14;11, 12; James 3:1; 1 Peter 1:17; and Revelation 20:11-15).
Psalm 2:10-12 says: "Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."
