Romans one

 It seems to me that the arguement is that God made people Gay. This is nonsense. In the widest sense of sin, God did not make any of us sinners. Adam and Eve rebelled against god and sin entered in, it was not God, so God does not make any of us Gay. It is also being argued that God must approve of a loving Gay relationship. Bear in mind that Jesus is part of the Godhead and therefore is God. He saw to it that the bible was written and all the scriptures about the practice of homosexuality have thus far been quoted in this discussion, so I am not going to quote them all again. However Romans one puts paid to the idea that God makes people Gay. There are many people who are gay and know it is wrong and have been saved and they wrestle with it like Paul wrestled with his thorn in the flesh. Many of us including myself have our thorn in the flesh. It is also argued that God wants us in a loving Gay relationship, how could a loving God want us to be alone, well Paul was not married and neither am I. Do I blame God? No, I get on with a life of service. However, if you have no conscience and think doing homosexual acts is pleasing to God, even if it is in only one relationship then I think that you should take heed of the warning in Romans one. Far from approving of it God Gave people up to their sinful desires and therefore to his wrath as we see in the following.




God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
