Let's Go Back to the Bible

Did You Choose to Be Straight? (Part 2 of 2)

Sometimes individuals think they have found a “new truth” and that they have discovered a “new line of argumentation” that irrefutably confirms and defends their “new truth.”  Such is the case with advocates of homosexuality.  They strain constantly to find justification (even Biblical justification, in some cases) for their choice of lifestyle.  And, they think that if they can back heterosexuals into a corner and get them to yield their position against homosexuality, that such would conclusively prove their lifestyle to be acceptable and “normal.”  However, such is not and never will be the case!  Even if a Bible-believing heterosexual loses an argument with a homosexual, it does not prove in any way that homosexuality is a “new truth” to be accepted as “normal.”

In our discussions with advocates of the homosexual lifestyle, we must always take them back to Biblical morality and Biblical authority.  We must never be ashamed of our faith in God, our faith in His Word and our faith in doing precisely what He says!

God’s Word is our standard of authority! All that we do and say must be authorized by the Word of God (Col. 3:17).  The one and only standard that will determine my eternal destiny is the will of God (Matt. 7:21-23).  No person on this earth has a right to add to, take away from or manipulate God’s Word one iota (Rev. 22:18-19; Gal. 1:8-9).  If God’s Word says it, that settles it, once and for all time (Jude 3; Psa. 119:89).  Therefore, if God’s Word condemns homosexuality (which it does throughout its pages, Lev. 18:22; 20:13; Rom. 1:24-28; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; etc.), then I must adhere to His standard.

God’s Word is our standard of morality! It is amazing (and frustrating) how illogical and inconsistent advocates of sin are when they are trying to defend their position.  Homosexuals will often claim (as is their purpose in asking, “When did you choose to be straight?”) that they were “born that way.”  They create their own flawed premise and then cannot defend it, for could not even pedophiles, polygamists, rapists, zoophiles or necrophiliacs make the same argument?  If anyone can claim, “I was born this way, so it can’t be wrong,” then there is NO standard of morality except one person’s own judgment.  Once you become your own standard of right and wrong, then you have dismissed God and His standard of morality altogether!  Read the New Testament (ex: Rom. 1:18-32; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Gal. 5:19-23; Eph. 4:17-32; Col. 3:5-17; 1 Thess. 4:3-8; Rev. 21:8) and see if God is not very “straight” and “strait” about His standard of morality!

Let us each choose God, God’s creation, God’s truth, God’s will, God’s authority and God’s morality!
