Matt 13:19-23 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it,

the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. 22 The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. 23 But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." Mt 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to test them that dwell upon the earth.

Even though Christians constantly keep themselves focused on Christ through His Word and prayer, they will be susceptible to the temptations and trials that God sends.... which will cause many to fall away because they refuse to be faithful to God and His Word. He sends these to us to strengthen us and refine us for various reasons. Some will use their experience to teach others how to come out of sin, some will use their experience to strengthen them for future battles. Some will experience these temptations to bring them confidence and faith that it is the God Himself who divided the red sea, God Himself who fills us with strength to overcome our daily temptations. And, this can happen overnight, or it may take years. Obedience to Gods Word shows the Lord we have faith in Him no matter what comes. Heaven and earth will pass away but Gods Word will never pass away. His Word is His promise to us and His covenant with us.
1 John 4 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Romans 1:19-32 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; F6 for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their

imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Eph 5:25 - Show Context Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Col 3:19 - Show Context Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Test all things according to Gods Word (1 John 4:1) Sodom and Gamorah were judged into condemnation from God because they practiced sexual immorality and were homosexuals even demanding to have sex with the people who they thought were men but which were angels. Instead Lot told them to take his own daughters for sex, which they refused. The Saints will Judge the world.. we will test it according to Gods Word to find truth or evil. 1Cor 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall
be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Sex is not a need, its a desire.

Millions of people the world over have gone without sex and kissing for years. It is thought that a womans sexual appetite increases in middle age. If that is true, then what hope is there for all those people in their 20s who cannot contain themselves? Heaven forbid their spouse should die or whose health is compromised or they simply lose the lovin feeling which renders their sex life void; what then?will they leave their marriage based on sex or commit adultery?
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind

Sex is never ever a good foundation to build a marriage or family on, but God being the center of a marriage is a good solid and protective foundation for any family. Sex is not a need, its a desire. Each person has temptations.. but its not sinful to be tempted. Christ gives us tools to overcome these temptations so we are not fighting

temptations on our own. Christ didnt come to heal the obedient christians, He came to heal those who were in need of healing from their affirmities and temptations. He came to die for those who are sorry for their sins people who have a willing heart to repent of their sins.
Luke 7 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 7:47 Wherefore

I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Those who are willing to admit they sin and are in need of grace. Have a deep deep love for the one who gives them grace; Jesus. Those who doubt Christ and His Word are prideful and refuse to admit they are even in sin. They dont love Christ as much as they love practicing sin. God forewarns His children not to follow their hearts He says our hearts cannot be trusted and that they are evil and deceitful and not to trust the heart IF IT LEADS PEOPLE CONTRARY TO GODS WORD
Mt 15:18 - But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' Mt 15:19 - For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. Lu 8:15 - But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop..

God defines all good and all evil in His holy Word which He has preserved for us into eternity. There is nothing good or nothing evil which God hasnt totally defined in His Holy Word. His Word is complete and He even says anyone who adds to or takes away from His Word, will suffer a curse condemnation. Rev. 22:18-19
Revelation 22 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book

Rev. 22:18-19: This warning is amined against the willful distortion of the message of the book Deut.4:2; 12:32; Prov. 30:6; Gal 1:6-7. The speaker is Christ Himself (see v 20) who thus claims a canonicity for the book ( and the entire New Testament) equal to that of the Old Testament. He says heaven and earth shall pass away (heaven and earth as we understand it) but His Word will never pass away. Matt 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33

We are also told to test the spirits in all things, whether they are in agreement to God and His Word or not. 1John 1:1-2 1 John 4
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Those who are not born again are considered natural 1Co 2:13-14
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God(is not given understanding of spiritual matters): for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are not spiritually discerned.

The process of being born again and SPIRIT FILLED (the Holy Spirit which comes into a person only if they put faith in and ask Christ Jesus to be their LORD/KING/Saviour John 3:1-21 (This is very important to read but its too long to copy into here) God tells us in His Word that He refuses hear those who refuse to repent and come to Jesus:
Joh 9:31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 1Ti 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus

Jesus is actually the WORD of God, in the flesh. In John 1:1-14 we are told that Jesus is the Word in the flesh. 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Everything Jesus did and said is in total agreement with the Holy Bible because He is the Word. And every Word in the Holy Bible is inspired by God not written by a man. Men may have written it down, but like Moses, they wrote what they were told to write. I encourage you to read John 1:1-14. He tells us all scripture is given to us by God in 2Tim 3:16-17
2 Timothy 3 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Nowhere in the Holy bible does God define a marriage as same sex and in fact, speaks of homosexuality as sinful. Entertaining thoughts which are sinful is still sin. We have to acknowledge and accept that nowhere in the bible does God say same sex is blessed or good, He always defines same sex as being sinful. God also says that He does not tempt us, but our temptations are caused by our own desires. He may allow us to suffer temptations which will serve to strengthen us IF WE ARE FAITHFUL TO HIM

AND HIS WORD but He doesnt tempt us with sin. If we endure, our temptations in obedience, they turn into blessings of strength and wisdom for children of God.
Jas 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

So, we either accept Gods Word as truth, or we choose to reject the Holy Bible (2tim 3:16-17 and John 1:1-14) We cannot pick and choose which scriptures we conveniently agree with and disregard those which are contrary to our desires There is a severe danger for anyone who rejects any portion of Gods Word. He tells us they will be made spiritually blind because they reject Him who is the Word in the flesh. To the portion they reject Him. So if you choose to deny only certain parts of His Word, its those parts which you will be made spiritually blinded; which may lead to condemnation. He literally tells us He will hide understanding from them. Mark 4:11-12
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And 28:26-27 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

All who reject Gods Word will be made spiritually blind to the portion they reject Gods Word, and good examples of this can found in prideful and even UNIVERSITY TRAINED people. People who have been trained in earthly knowledge and are so focused on THEIR OWN understanding of the world which may suit their own agenda, they can no longer see good from evil. Oprah Winfrey says Christ is not needed for salvation, surely God would not punish people who have not heard the gospel of Christ God tells us about sins of our fathers which means a child will either be sanctified by her/his parents faith in Christ,(reference 1Cor 7:14) or not. God knows before a baby is born if they will or wont desire Him as their Lord God and He is 100% JUST. Some people are so desperate to justify their desires (even though they may have good intentions as in Oprahs case) that they forsake the Word of God and instead, cling to their own understanding.
Proverbs 3 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

People are becoming so freaked out by the thought that God says there will be end days they have gone to the opposite direction. They just cant accept Gods Word as truth so they dismiss it and use all kinds of worldly knowledge to deny the truth Jesus Christ is our Saviour.

The world will justify and encourage sexual sin. Satan rules the minds of those who reject Jesus and His Word, to those He gives a natural or reprobate mind. God gives His children the power to cast out satan and his temptations and there is no one temptation too enticing for us to overcome. Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

So we are left without excuse. IF God gives us the power of the Holy Spirit
THROUGH JESUS and we refuse to use the power of the Holy Spirit, we are in error and a follower of Jesus needs to be continually repenting of our sins so they can be cleansed away, never again to be remembered.. Keeping in mind

everyone on earth has sinned and everyone falls short and is being continually tested, there isnt one person other than Christ, who hasnt given into temptations. The trick is knowing satan will be tempting us throughout our lives. BUT will we choose to keep our faith in Christ, or will we turn away from Gods Word because our pride needs to justify our sin? will we endure to the end?
Mt 24:13 - But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mr 13:13 - And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Jas 5:11 - Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy

When we practice sin or entertain sin in our minds, sinful TEMPTATIONS WILL GROW. God gives us the power to cast satan and his temptations from us and promises us satan must flee if we are loyal and obedient to cast them from us when we are tempted. When we are young and have experienced any kind of sexual feelings, whether they just naturally occur to us through experimentation or we were molested the memory of the sexual sin haunts us until we are in a blessed sexual relationship which is spiritually healthy and blessed by God. (Gods Word tells us if we desire sex, get married) dont stay single and be continually tempted by the evil and seducing spirits which try to deceive us into thinking the world is more knowledgeable and wiser than God is.
1 Corinthians 7:8-9 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Pride which comes through improper teachings and deceiving information, and a rebellious nature chains people to sexual temptations (or any sinful temptation which we all have). God is the same yesterday, today and forever HE NEVER LEAVES US

its us who walks away from Him and His Word.

It is because of pride and rebellion that people refuse to study His Word and come to know it inside and out. People remain tempted and haunted by homosexual thoughts, by

refusing to come out from among them and in obedience, persue a healthy sexual relationship with an evenly yoked person of the opposite sex in obedience to God and His Word. Stop rebelling and submit to God. An alcoholic shouldnt work in a bar serving drinks and hang out with his alcoholic friends at drinking parties if he expects to overcome his temptations. A fornicator shouldnt attend orgies or watch pornography and expect to not be tempted. A gambler shouldnt visit Los Vegas and expect not to be tempted. A priest who desires sex shouldnt join the catholic priesthood who swears off sex even tho he desires sex. He will be tempted and become even more deviant. BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO OBEY GOD AND GET MARRIED IF THEY DESIRE SEX they choose to be catholic ahead of obeying God and His Word. They refuse to stop rebelling and submit to God. They refuse to come out from among them 2 Cor. 6:14-1814 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty

Prideful people who desire sinful(as Gods Word defines what is sinful) unblessed sex remain single and refuse to get married even though they absolutely desire sex. WHICH CAUSES A CONSEQUENCE FOR DISOBEYING GOD AND HIS WORD. The more we practice and entertain sin, the more tempting it grows. The more we entertain the sinful unblessed sex, the more the temptations will grow.. God gives us choice to follow Him or not. And nothing can ever separate you

from God.
Romans 8 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
