The Adamic Sin contaminated all humans except Christ. Diseases, deformities etc. Are also results of our cursed bodies.

That brings up another thorny issue. Homosexuality as a "choice" is one thing. However, genetics can confuse sexual identity as well! These persons are the most complex and should NOT be confused with persons who CHOSE the life. Genuine Genetic homosexuals must trust Christ for their Salvation and their sanity. Every ones walk with Christ is personal and God gives GRACE! The most important thing to say to God to keep from GIVING HIM UP is this...LORD, you know my failings. But in spite of MY failings I will Always Declare YOU ARE RIGHT AND HOLY! FOR BETTER OR WORSE I THROW MYSELF ON YOUR MERCY. AMEN.

This declaration from your heart will help you to cling to God when OTHER CHRISTIANS SAY "YOU" HOMOSEXUALS are Not Worthy. GOD is able and willing to keep you SAVED if you declare HIM to be RIGHT. Christ Died for you, those Christians did not. Satan wants you to abandon God, because Satan wants to drive you insane.

One day our flesh will no longer be at odds with God's Spirit [in] us. Because as Paul says when this flesh goes back to dust, we will receive our SINLESS GLORIFIED BODIES! ALLELUYAH!!!

I think it is wrong for any one of us to sit in judgement of others no matter what. Matthew 22:36-46

Ava's comment on 2015-02-23 05:34:45:

Michaela...to be saved is to be redeemed, to be snatched from the jaws of hell by our Saviour. Think of it as a person out at sea drowning or in the deep end of a pool, then a lifeboat or someone comes by and pick them up out of that state or someone caught in a burning house, then a firefighter comes to their aide. It is just like that with Jesus, once you have accepted Him wholeheartedly as Lord and Saviour that is to put away all sin, He will abide in you and you will be a changed person. No one can serve two masters St. Luke 16:13 , so you must choose to either walk with Christ or live in sin. If you choose the sinful path homosexuality - being gay , then 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Galatians 5:19-21 Romans 1:18-32, makes you aware of the fact that you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Choose wisely and turn from the ways that displeases God and seek after Him, He will deliver you from sin.

Eileen's comment on 2015-01-04 08:54:14:

Yes, I do believe that homosexuality is a sin. The Old and New Testament are against it. It is clearly stated,yet people are trying to change the scriptures to make them say what they want them to say. God loves the sinner but hates the sin. When a person comes to Christ, they have to repent. If you were a prostitute, you can not stay a prostitute,or a murderer etc. we all have to repent. There is no Such thing as a Christian homosexual. Don 't be deceived. God gives us the power of the Holy Spirit to help us to change. We are new creations, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.

Laodicean era started in 199. In this warm period people of the church are effeminate and sodomites!!! It means that they are spiritual Sinners in their relationship with GOD. Self worship and Elite worship for Cheap economic credits make them Backslidden believers. Church elders must take precautious efforts against it. Preach the Gospel. Damn prosperity blasphemy.

I love the bible I am a follower of Christ I believe Corinthians . I believe the bible and god

KM Charanga's comment on 2013-12-08 18:57:56:

Is it possible to resist all the sins without being filled with the HOLY SPIRIT?
If no, how do I submit myself to GOD? Can I submit to Him unrighteously?
Because I am afraid without true submission, being filled with the Holy Spirit if fairly impossible.
Please help.

Joe's comment on 2013-08-20 09:26:12:

I am responding to Terrance's comment / question
which is : "Is homo***uality really a sin?" Yes-
it most certainly is a sin. I truly sympathize that you are struggling with it , and it is joyful
that you believe God will deliver you from it in the future . Rejoice , because Christ declared that He will NOT turn anyone away who comes to Him . If you seek forgiveness , healing , and a new life - go to Christ with a penitent heart , and He will not turn you away !!! You are NOT alone , Terrance !!! MANY people struggle with all
kinds of sins , including ***ual immorality . I do
too - but I know that God is reforming me , and will complete a work He has begun in me . I have the same hope for you as well ...!! Don't take the sinful state for granted , but do remember the
theif on the cross who was forgiven ALL his sins and promised by Christ that he would be in paradise with Him that very day ... !! God bless you , Terrance !!!

Paul's comment on 2013-03-10 10:26:59:

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you, James 4:7.

Terrance's comment on 2012-11-17 11:45:45:

Is homosexuality really a sin? I have been trying to change but I really struggle with it, I know one day God will deliver me from it.
