Christ's position on homosexuality

  Before I commence, please note that this write-up is a joint effort; I combined my write-up  with a friend's to arrive at a conclusion. I begin. Today I want to address another popular argument for reconciling homosexuality with true Christianity premised on the objection that Jesus Himself never said a word about homosexuality. Those who make this argument grant that Paul condemned it as sinful as stated in the books below: Romans 1:26–27 (NLT) " That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved"   1 Corinthians 6:9–10 (NLT)  " Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God?

Knowledge is light. Yes, it is! But, what kind of light is it? Ones knowledge of the Word of God does not guarantee life without a walk with the Spirit of the Word.

There comes a time in one's life that it looks like the sun is set; a time when one's cloud is plain, the world around one looks murky and one is left in the lurch; a time that one hears sound from the speaker and later discovers that it's nothing but ventriloquy; a time that one is parched and then looks afar with water ahead but discovers it's a mirage; a time to run with meteoric speed but the quagmire slows down one's speed; a time of dehydration in the desert with no luck of oasis; a time when one is skilled in speech-presentation but cannot display such virtuoso as a result of aphonia. Hmm! A time one sits outside, looks around but yet feels lovelorn and forlorn because one feels denunciated; a time when one approaches someone that one is enamoured-of with emotional suasion but what one gets is a caustic retort; a time when your despotic boss looks at the arduous task done by you with such paucity and then makes you look like the Isrealites in Egypt. It is wel...
