Is it OK to be a Gay?

First of all, for those who got offended with the picture, "I'm Sorry."
Some people came to me and asked if it was OK to be gay; my answer to this question is “Yes, it is OK to be gay.” Now before you go out there quoting me, just listen up to what I have to say.
God will not burn gays, God will not hate gays, and God will not stop loving gays. God however does not agree with this life style. We cannot judge gays because of their life style. In I Corinthians 6:9, Paul writes, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders” (NIV). Notice that homosexuality is number 5 on the list that includes:

Sexual Immoral: Pedophilia, S&M, Bukkake, Animal Sex, Creampie, camel toe, A2M, Milf, Gangbang, BDSM, etc… if you are familiar with any of this terms, you are most likely to be sexual immoral person.

Idolaters: you do not need to bow down to an image to be idolater. The Catholics are shameless though. They worship anything but Jesus. Jesus is just a greater God then all the other images, the Catholics even changed a little bit the 10 commandments, so it would be acceptable the fact that they worship idles and Gods. Even in my church (Seventh day Adventist) that proclaims to follow the 10 commandments, people still worship idols. That is because you do not need to worship and man-like image, people nowadays worship their money, their car, their job, their boat, their new flat screen TV, their girlfriend, and the list goes on. Just pay attention, people will protect, talk about it, share ideas about their gods.

Adulterers: Jesus says in Matthew 5:32 that, “But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.” So if we look around, with a rate of divorce of 50%, there are a lot of idolaters around us. Just look at Hollywood, to them, marriage and divorce happens more often then you blink. Millions of weddings are performed in Las Vegas each year, and many of them have to basis or fundament.

Male Prostitutes: this is getting more and more common nowadays; they even made a movie (and a sequel) about the subject, where a man is hired as a gigolo. Kids and parents that see the movies, and laugh at it, start to see it as a wrong act but acceptable.

Homosexual Offenders: this is plain as straight “gay people.” More and more you hear about them, there are movies, sitcoms, singers, politicians, bishops, pastors, and parents that are gays.

This whole thing reminds me of the story of Sodom and Gomorra, and the end will be the same…

So before you go out there pointing fingers on gays, look at yourself first. God hates the sin but loves the sinner, I think it is Ok to be gay but it is not OK to give yourself into your desiers.

If for some reason you are gay and you really feel you need to change, let me tell you something that might help. When Paul wrote this message, guess to whom he wrote it? On I Corinthians 6:11 it says, “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” So some of the people that Paul is speaking here were gays.
Some people might argue that being a gay is genetic and once you are gay, you never comeback. I won’t argue with that, however if a sex offender that struggles with pornography, if he/she asks God to help him/her, God will help, and even if the temptation is there, God will give victory to that person. Even if adulterer feels tempted to do it again, but he/she asks God for strength, God will help that person. If a male prostitute that gave his life to God, and changed lifestyles because of it is suffering because he is not make as much money as he was before, even if the temptation is there, God will also be there.
I can understand that gay will feel attracted to someone with the same sex, however, that person does not need to sin, if that person asks God for forgiveness, and asks God for help, He will provide the help you need. Satan will still tempt you, and you may loose some battles, but you will definitely win the war.

Good post mostly. It sounds like you'er lecturing people though. Do you have any faults? Do any of these things affect you? Or are you the stereotypical "perfect Adventist"?

Do you remember to pray for gay Adventists? Do you know any yourself?
Or do you just talk about them, shake you rhead and thank God you're a heterosexual?

That's a big thing in the SDA church. Few of them have any real problems in their lives.
They have almost perfect life trajectories.
