Homosexuality and other matters

As an African I abhor the practice of homosexuality because my culture and upbringing counts it absurd, foreign and
immortal.

However, I am also aware that polygamy is entrenched in my culture as well.

Whilst the western world embraces homosexuality as a intimate right, it criminalizes polygamy with contempt.

I can go on and on, several differences.

Thus my challenge here will be one of culture not necessarily conviction. as my culture has influenced me way back
as long as I have being .

I am trained in school and made to embrace the western sociological leanings.
I am made to stand between two diametrically opposed human innovations.

What will bail me out?

My faith. My Lord. His words. His life.

Written within the books where I have found the joy of salvation is to know right from wrong.
Evil from good.
Sin from right living.

In there I recognize deity; God.
He created all and controls all.

It is written that I don't determine right from wrong.

I find out what ONLY He (God) says it is.
This is written.

My salvation is based on my knowing that I will be wrong without Him.

I stand blamed until He saves me.
My ways are not His, until He delivers me from mine.

This He does for everyone who believes in the death and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

This is His way. His truth. His life. My life.

Only then will rights be wronged.
Sins forgiven, Lifestyles changed.

He punishes His Son for all sins.

He makes no grades or distinction for sins and its lifestyles.

A lie, an hate, rage, illicit sex (done without marital union), cheating others ,evil thoughts, lack of care for the needy,
gluttony, not caring for your family, oppressing the poor, greed, covetousness , lack of self control, bitterness,
jealousy, fear, laziness, lack of submission to spouse (both ways), to spiritual authority ,...this list is endless.
oh lest I forget homosexuality too.

None is greater or smaller.

He bails us all in His Son.

And when I believe, am saved.., saved from the guilt and conviction of what I will always do in His sight..., Wrong!

Also, He gives me a new nature to detest the wrongs (sin) and naturally do right.

This doesn't invalidate His role as my only justifier.
Despite my new state, He yet bestows His eternal mercies of forgiveness, for as I grow and live in the flesh (body) I
will yet do wrong and sin.

His forgiveness is eternal. Unconditional.

Now, am to share this news with everyone not out of superiority as I am not any better than everyone, even the
homosexual.
However, I must never condone anyone who makes wrong and violation of scriptures (What is written) a habit.

One who says I am a liar, its my choice, or I have sex with many girls, its my call. Or I get angry easily and can kill,
thats my lifestyle or I make the gospel a money making machine, I need to pay my bills, I cheat my business partners
or bosses at work, I have to survive.

And as many who make wrongs (sins) a lifestyle. This mustn't be condoned.

But hey..., the sinner must be told about The Son.

Only the Son can set free.

By the way.. You can't legislate against sin!

Ask Moses,

Talk less of a human making organ consisting sinners, saints and mixed multitudes.

Are thr any laws against anger? Fear? Bitterness?

So u kill them, jail them and they are what? Saved?

Only the Son redeems.

Thus, glory to God; I am free from my culture and education.

I am bound by the scriptures.

Arrested by the vicarious death of the Son, who saved me and saves everyone.

I won't resort to singling out sins or sinners

I must condemn sin as Jesus has on the cross.

But preach the Love and compassion of God without threats, hatred and discrimination to all.

Homosexual, bi intimate, idol worshipper, perverse, corrupt and even haters of The Son.

Am grateful for my new culture..

What about u?

Jesus is Lord.
