Homosexuality
THE SNATCHING AWAY OF THE SAINTS, OR THE RAPTURE.
Some people think homosexuality is the unpardonable sin talked about in scripture. Many Church pastors and ministers teach that, and warn their congregations to run from it. However they don’t seem to realize that Jesus himself addressed this issue in Luke 17:34-35.
These two verses of scripture are referring to the act of homosexuality. First Jesus brings our attention back to the day’s of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. Sodom’s sin of homosexuality was judged by God and deemed unfit to be allowed to even exist at the time. Which gives us a pretty clear picture of how God felt about homosexuality. Next He takes us directly to the subject at hand when he declares, “34 I tell you, on that night two men will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”(Luke 17:34-35) At the time Jesus made this statement the term used to describe sexual intercourse was the word “grinding”, and sometimes “grinding at the mill” is used with the same meaning. If you go to the trouble to study this you’ll see that those two terms were used to identify the act of sexual intercourse for hundreds of years.
Notice however they are NOT being judged for the act in this instance, but by Faith in the blood of Jesus. The evidence of that in each case is one each were taken up to be with Lord in his Kingdom. So this in my opinion clearly depicts that we are only judged as to whether or not we've put saving FAITH in Jesus Christ alone. Because Jesus took away ALL our sins at the cross, so they will never be counted against us.
Let me be clear here, Jesus isn’t suggesting we take up homosexuality, because the act is an abomination to God. Homosexuality should be avoided for many reasons, not the least of which God calls it SIN. And he doesn’t condone sin ever. But He is showing us the only thing that mattes is FAITH in his Son. To the praise and Glory of God. This life is all about Jesus and what he did for us, not whatever it is we want to believe we are DOING or NOT DOING for Jesus. Like the same God that created the universe and everything in it that was created, including mankind needs help his creation. Those among us hoping to earn their salvation through obedience to the law or good works done through the energy our own flesh will be greatly disappointed when Jesus say’s to them, “Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' (Matthew 7:23)
In God’s economy, sin is sin. He isn’t like man, with varying degrees on sin. Some being worse than others. If you break a command, you are guilty in God's eyes of breaking all the commandments, because Christ isn’t grading on the curve and the punishment for all sin, regardless of what it is, is always death. But what did Jesus do with ALL man’s sins, plural? He took those sins upon himself, and died in our place at the cross. So ALL of man’s sins have been judged, the verdict was guilty, the punishment was death and Jesus took the death we deserved upon himself, and paid the price for ALL our sins, ONE TIME for EVERYBODY.
Why do you suppose satan has such and easy job of convincing the so-called Christian world the exact opposite of that truth? Making us believe every time we sin, some how we need more forgiveness? How nuts is that? Listen people, as long as we are in this body of sin and death we will never stop sinning in this flesh. God said that the flesh will never please God and neither can it do so, and that the flesh counts for NOTHING. So if you want to really stop sinning, you’d have to die. Death pretty much stops sin in it’s tracks.
So what does a guy do when he finds himself sinning again? The answer is, cry out to Jesus and say, “THANK YOU JESUS FOR DEALING WITH THAT SIN ON THE CROSS AND TAKING ALL THE PUNISHMENT I TRULY DESERVED, IN MY PLACE AT THE CROSS. I WILL THANK YOU AND PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME “FOREVER” FOR YOUR SACRIFICE FOR ME, AND YOUR RESURRECTED LIFE LIVING IN ME!” Rather than the usual, insults directed at God the Father and God the Son Jesus. By suggesting he forgive you again, when Hebrews 9:22 states, “In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with BLOOD, and without the shedding of BLOOD there is NO FORGIVENESS. ” Yet what man made denominational churches is saying is WHAT JESUS DID FOR US MEANT NOTHING, SO TELL JESUS YOU WANT HIM TO DO IT ALL AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THEY WANT TO WATCH. Man made churches teach us to confess our sins, and ask Jesus to forgive us over and over again, never putting an end to Jesus sacrifice. Making sure we never comprehend that Jesus "PAYED IT ALL, IT'S FINISH. They are putting Christ sacrifice on the same level as that of bulls and goats that merely covered sin till the next time. If all God wanted to do was cover sin temporally, he had a system in place that did just that, called "the animal sacrificial system" through the Levitical Priesthood, repeated constantly, day after day. Jesus could have stayed in heaven if that were getting the job done.
But God said, no, I’m going to send my Son, and offer him up ONCE and for all, taking AWAY the SINS of the whole world FOREVER. But man being lead by the lies of satan, pretend like animal sacrifice is still in play and this time Jesus is the new sacrificial animal being offered, and he is going to have to offer himself up every second or so, so man in the flesh can feel good about himself. Well, how good does God feel about that do you think? Here’s the answer to that question;
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Huh, guess he’s not to thrilled with our confessions and continual unbelief is he? So what’s this deliberate sinning he’s talking about here? Well what he had revealed a few verses before, which was, “17 Then he adds:
"Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more." 18 And where these HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. (Hebrews 10:17-18)
That’s the truth we are sinning against when we continue asking for what in Christ we’ve already been given. And NO, Christ it not going to die again or deal with your sins again, period! Which is why he cried out from the cross, “IT IS FINISHED”. What can we conclude the from the one time he did die for sin? We’ve been cleansed of all our unrighteousness once and for all time. Which should bring us right back to the paragraph above, where we are thanking and Praising God for the forgiveness he HAS provided with his very own blood.
So yes, all sin has been dealt with once and for all, which clears the decks for the real problem with mankind which sin is merely a symptom. Man’s real problem is he was born DEAD, and in need of LIFE. Notice how Death is a somewhat larger problem then the fact that we sin on a regular basis? The fact is, we were all born in Adam, Spiritually dead, separated from the Life of God, which is what death truly is in a spiritual sense. Because of Adam’s sin, we were all born as Adam had become when the Spirit of God departed from him. God said on the day you eat thereof you shall surely DIE. Well, Adam didn’t die a physical death that day, since he lived nearly a thousand years after he was evicted from the garden. But he died a spiritual death when the Life of his creator left him. We were all born in Adam, separated from God, spiritually dead and in need of Life.
God came to earth not merely to take away sin, as important as that was, but to restore what we had lost in Adam, that being the spirit of God living in us. So Jesus came to earth, to invade the life of every believer, and restore us to true humanity. Jesus wants to live his LIFE in and through his us. If we but come to real faith in Jesus. And what it is he did for us, in his death for us that took away our sins, his burial which is the proof of death, and HIS resurrected Life on the third day. Considering the alternative, I’d say that was a small price to pay for all HE has done for us. It doesn’t get any simpler or easier than this people, because Jesus did it all for us, and left nothing for us to screw up. Is that good news or what? We are out of the equation, Jesus did it ALL, and left nothing to chance, if we believe in the Son he loves.
So I implore you on Christ behave, be reconciled to God, because he loves you perfectly. Stop worrying about all the stuff you think you have to give up to please God. The only thing that pleases God is “FAITH IN HIS SON”. Stop listening to the enemy of your soul, trying to get you to place faith in yourself, and whatever it is you think your doing. God’s not that interested in what your doing. He said, this is my beloved SON, in whom I am well pleased, LISTEN TO HIM. Man is obsessed with himself, but God is obsessed with His Son, Jesus Christ. It's time we become obsessed with Jesus as well, because Life is all about Jesus, he is our Life, and there is Life in no one else.
So take your pick people, you can continue to worship at the foot of the pretend church of man, or yourself, or you can come to faith in Jesus The Christ and live, because of his great love for YOU. Life's all about choices. Come to Jesus by faith, or remain spiritually dead. Nobody cares for you like Jesus. Believe and live... Amen?
------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES -------------------------
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ, FOREVER! Through Faith in Jesus!
10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so they might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
