Careful how you preach about homosexuality

Acts-perienced Poster Posts: 11849 **4/7/16 7:40 pm**

I think we need to realize that a lot of people think of 'gay' or 'homoexual' as the way someone is born. They think of 'gay' or 'homosexual' as meaning 'being attracted to the same sex.'

Ask a lot of Baby Boomers, GenXers, or Fundamentalist Christians what a 'homosexual' is and they think of a man who does nasty sex acts with some other man, or a woman who does nasty sex acts with another woman.

Gen-Y audiences, and audiences influenced by the propaganda and terminology of the LGBT movement are going to think of 'homsoexual', 'gay', and 'lesbian' as a state of being. 'Gay virgin' makes sense to them.

So if a preacher says, "Gays are on their way to Hell." or "Homosexuals are on their way to Hell.", young people in your audience may just think you mean that if they find themselves attracted to the same sex, then they are on their way to Hell. So we need to be careful how we communicate.

If someone understands some basic doctrine of Christianity regarding lust and sin, then it isn't that hard to understand that it's possible to have a desire and for it to be wrong to act on that desire. Men with normal sexual desires have to deal with those issues when it comes to not lusting after women. Women have to deal with that when it comes to not lusting after men.

If a man has lust for a woman, that doesn't make it right for him to have sex with her. Homosexuals desiring the same sex doesn't make having sex with the same sex right.

We need to explain that God knows best. Nature also illustrates the opposite genders are what reproduce. There are a lot of good logical and Biblical arguments that can be made. We can also point out the number the LGBT movement and the mediahas pulled on the American people by teaching them that disagreeing with their agenda of sexual perversion constitutes 'hate.'

I used to live in the '808' area code and I saw a sign at a local university that read, "no hate in the 808.' It was promoting the LGBT agenda.

Just preach about it like Jesus did and you're good!

If you preach what Jesus preached it will cost you! It cost all the Apostles, except John there life! Not many churches could stand what Jesus preached today!
