HOW DOES GOD FEEL?

Genesis 6:5-7, "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth."

Is God offended, grieved, and insulted? Have we considered this most important question regarding the homosexual marriage equality debate that is currently being debated by our Supreme Court? Most of us tend to be taken up with our own considerations and opinions. However, no matter how important our opinions may be to us, they must be considered secondary to our Creator's plans.

The only way for us to know God's ordained plan on the subject of morals it to be well acquainted with His Word in the Scriptures. These are known by Christians as ABSOLUTES. We must never try to bend or twist the Scriptures to suit our opinions on this subject, or any subject, for that matter. Our opinions on what God thinks will never make any difference to God, or persuade Him to come to our way of thinking. He is who He is and He has revealed His plan in His Word on the subject of morals. He expects us, His creation, to line up with what He says, whether we like it or not--because it is always for our good and our blessing.

God is indeed a God of love, mercy, and longsuffering and patiently waits for men to repent, but there comes a time when He says, "Enough is Enough." And because He is offended, grieved, and insulted, He does and will act with righteous judgment.

The homosexual community have been flaunting themselves publically for many years now, with gay pride days and demonstration marches. They have infiltrated the state education system so that even small children in many state schools are encouraged, and in some cases forced, to attend these indoctrination classes. Now we are being coerced into accepting them into the Holy Covenant of Marriage. God forbid! This most certainly demeans the sacredness of the marriage covenant. For without a doubt, it was God, in the beginning, who instituted the covenant of marriage--not man, and not the state (Genesis 18-24). This covenant that God called into being was without question between a man and a woman. Anything else is a perversion.

Genesis 18:20 and 19:24, "And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see...  Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven." Sad to say, but it is true, that God is offended, grieved, and insulted much more than we are.

Men, we must at this time be sensitive to the heart of God.

Be encouraged. Colin
