22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
I've been a lesbian up until 8 months ago since I was 15 years old. But honestly since I was a little kid I had an attraction to the same sex. All my life I wondered if these attractions would prevent me from going to heaven. I grew up with God fearing grandparents on my fathers side, and my mom and dad also went to church. I would hear the pastor preach about homosexuality and condemn it and it drove me away from the church. I was bitter and I felt like I was born to go to hell. I grew mad at god and grew more comfortable with my sexuality and the gay community. I had dreams to fall in love with a woman get married, have kids and ride off into the sunset. I know now that I was reprobate and a slave to sin.
I really wanted to talk about this subject because I think people are way too sensitive when it comes to it. a Straight person will never ever know the struggle of facing homosexuality and i honestly think they should leave the subject to those of us blessed by the lord in this particular subject matter. being that they have never experienced it they could never have the compassion and knowledge on how to deliver the message of truth without being of offense or furthering the problem. You are not help yo. Proverbs 17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Your opinion can't save nobody, only the grace of God can.
remember before you explain how despicable or disgusting the sin is remember to you, preach how grace can deliver them and they don't have to rely on self effort. Be vulnerable enough to say I was a slave to sin before the lord saved me.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Matthew 6:1-34
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
Below I have an example of how not to preach salvation to gay people although I agree with Kim and her Beliefs. I Believe sin sends people to hell. But i also Know people have feelings and i remember being pushed away by certain types of personalities in the church while i was trying to figure out my life in Christ.
As you can see why a gay person would feel attack rather than loved and supported in a an instance like this.
But let me say the lord has delivered me from the desire to be homosexual. I have cam a long way if you'd like to talk and maybe hear my testimony or if you have a testimony please link with me through facebook or via my email workhardatit@gmail.com. please comment your views on today's subject and GOD BLESS.
