God's Word Concerning Homosexuality | What does the Bible say about homosexuality?

This sermon addresses the topic of homosexuality by examining various scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments to determine God's will and judgment on the matter. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of grounding one's life in the authority of God's Word, especially in a world that increasingly attacks biblical values. The speaker establishes that if one accepts God as the Creator and the Bible as His authoritative Word, then one must submit to its teachings on all matters. The message then systematically presents biblical evidence: 1. God’s Design for Marriage (Genesis 2 & Matthew 19) The creation account shows God's original design to meet man's need for companionship was one man and one woman for a lifetime commitment (Genesis 2:18, 21-24). Jesus affirmed this pattern in Matthew 19, using the Genesis account to teach God's will concerning marriage. 2. Old Testament Condemnation (Genesis 19, Leviticus 18, Deuteronomy 23) The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) was due to a sin described as a desire by the men to "know them carnally" (sexual relations) [14:40]. The Law of Moses explicitly calls lying with a male as with a woman an "abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). New Testament commentary in Jude 7 confirms the sin of Sodom was sexual immorality and going after "strange flesh," and 2 Peter 2:6 calls it ungodly [16:28]. 3. New Testament Principles (Mark 7 & Romans 1) Jesus’ Words: Jesus condemned fornication (porneia) in Mark 7:21-23, which is the overarching term for all illicit or unlawful sexual intercourse, thereby covering all forms of homosexual relations [21:02]. The Downward Spiral (Romans 1): This chapter details the consequence of men refusing to retain God in their knowledge [23:06]. God gives them over to "vile passions" where women and men exchange the natural use for what is "against nature," committing what is shameful (Romans 1:26-27). The speaker also addresses interpretations that attempt to justify monogamous or consensual same-sex relationships, showing them to be eisegesis (reading into the text) [26:08]. 4. The Final Warning and Solution (1 Corinthians 6) Paul warns, "Do not be deceived," stating plainly that neither fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, nor sodomites "shall inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) [26:22]. The Hope: The sermon concludes with the good news of 1 Corinthians 6:11: "And such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified." The solution is to recognize sin, repent, and obey the gospel of Christ [30:10]. [01:18] Worldview and Context: The need for a firm biblical worldview in a world where faith and values are under attack [09:40] God's Marriage Design: Genesis 2:18-24 shows God created one man and one woman; affirmed by Jesus in Matthew 19 [18:40] Leviticus 18:22: Explicitly calls lying with a male as with a woman an "abomination" [21:02] Jesus' Condemnation: Jesus' condemnation of fornication (porneia) in Mark 7 includes all forms of illicit sexual intercourse, including homosexual relations [23:06] Romans 1 - The Exchange: God gives up those who "exchanged the truth of God for the lie" [24:12] Romans 1 - Against Nature: Describes women and men exchanging "the natural use for what is against nature" (Romans 1:26-27) [26:22] The Warning: The admonition, "Do not be deceived," before listing those who will not inherit the kingdom of God, including homosexuals/sodomites (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) [30:10] The Solution: The good news that "such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified" (1 Corinthians 6:11) #GodsWord #BibleAndHomosexuality #ChristianView #BiblicalTruth #Romans1 #Homosexuality #ChristianResponse #Sermon #ChurchOfChrist #Christianity #SexualEthics #ClobberPassages #LGBTQ #GodsDesign #Faith
