Every immoral act - indeed, every sin - is grounds for eternal punishment
by God. No matter how righteous a person is, they are still a sinner and
unworthy for heaven apart from God's unmerited favor.
"None is righteous." Yet, there are degrees of wickedness in sin. Practicing
homosexuals are described by God's word as an abomination. This sin is
placed in the same category as bestiality.
The notion that any form of immoral behavior deserves special civil
rights is absurd. If special civil rights are granted to homosexuals, then
would similar rights be granted to prostitutes? What about child molesters
- they face discrimination for their behavior?
This is markedly different from other civil rights which express the
duty of all mankind to avoid the sin of partiality. Homosexual activists
- who have removed the right use of the word "gay" from the language -
argue that they represent from 10% to 20% of the populous.
This too, is a lie. All reliable studies place the homosexual population
in America at between 1% and 2% - which begs the question, why are they
the darling of the local media?
To stand against immoral rights must never remove compassion for lost
souls. If so, we see in the mirror the sin of the self-righteous. The Lord
showed love and mercy to an adulterous woman. His greatest act of love
toward her was to say, "Go and sin no more." |
