Sodomy is Sin [podcast]

The LORD made an example out of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah

Jude 1:7 
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh (sodomy/homosexuality), are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

Luke 17:29 
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

2Peter 2:6 
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“Saved by grace, through faith (unless you are okay with gay marriage and then you can’t be saved). Is that what the Bible says?”

REPLY:

Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear, obey His words… and those who don’t are “NOT of God.” John 8:47 …. anyone who doesn’t believe that homosexuality is sin, soul damning sin, is not a Christian (Lev 18:22, etc)…. There’s no such thing as a child of God who doesn’t uphold His written Word as final divine authority (2 Tim 3:16). “Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13

Homosexuality is sin in the eyes of a holy God who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this evil and will destroy America if those claiming to be His don’t call it what it is and condemn it with no fear of man (Matthew 10:26-28).

In their apostasy (departure from the truth) they perverted the creation of God… misusing and corrupting it, using it in ways He never intended and that is greatly harmful …. And so God turned them over to it or sent them “strong delusion” to be further entrenched in their sin, to be “entangled therein and overcome” by it (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Peter 2:20-22). Their women became lesbians and men sodomites. Disgusting corruption.

Is the Biblical Model for Marriage Essential to God’s People?

Yes.

Sodomy is an abomination and anyone who doesn’t agree with God on this matter is not saved (Leviticus 18:22).

The LORD spells out in detail what He considers unlawful sexual relations. Put on your seatbelt. Read Leviticus 18. “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) Any sex outside of a married MAN and his wife, a WOMAN, is fornication. Soul damning. It doesn’t matter what you think. Your opinion is less than zero in the eyes of a holy God. Repent now and follow Jesus or perish.

Homosexuality, sodomy, lesbianism is NOT under grace – Never has been, never will be. God doesn’t bless or justify what He calls an abomination (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1). Repent now sinner – or you are going to hell for calling your Maker a liar!

“For this cause shall a MAN leave his father and mother, and cleave to his WIFE;” Mark 10:7

A person proves they are in Christ or outside of Christ by what they do with His Word.

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to God. Any and all nations who ever accepted homosexuality have been judged, doomed. Read Romans 1. God says that sodomy is sin, is an “abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) …. I’m standing with Him. All who don’t will perish in their own corruption and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 18:22

Any questions? Sodomy is perversion, period. Abortion is legalized by mere sinful man and yet it is cold-blooded, premeditated murder, and God is going to judge every single person who doesn’t stand against it just as He will judge those who do not stand against the sin, the perversion of sodomy/homosexuality. Judgment Day is on the way – for you – ready or not.

ATTN: Just because a believer is exposing 1 sin in no way means he is negating any other sin named in God’s Word.

GOD DECIDES WHAT SIN IS, NOT YOU.

Sodomy is sin according to the very Judge of our eternal souls. You must choose between God and sinful men on this issue. God has clearly spoken and called sodomy/all homosexuality an “abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22)

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” Leviticus 20:13

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (homos), 10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10      

“For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind (sodomites), for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;” 1 Timothy 1:10 

The devil’s children claim that choosing not to bake a cake for a sodomite couple is like discrimination against blacks or anyone for their race. Is that true? No. People don’t choose to be black (their race of birth), they DO choose to be sodomites, which is sin. Sodomy, all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman, is sin.

Proof that sodomy is of Satan: “Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial (Satan), beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.” Judges 19:22

PARENTS: NEVER allow your little boys to watch or listen to an effeminate man! Protect your children!

Sodomy, effeminate men, and all homosexuality are an abomination to the LORD (Leviticus 18:22).

Be Tolerant?

Of Whom?

TOLERATE GOD by obeying His Word and NOT tolerating what He calls evil!

All homosexuality is sin. It’s an “abomination” to the LORD. (Leviticus 18:22) Shut your mouth and repent, now.

It’s amazing hypocrisy that the lesbians and sodomites can attack those who don’t agree with their demonic perversion and yet we can’t speak God’s Word about them, supposedly but NOTTTT!!! Repent now, sinner. If you’ve agreed with any sin, sinfulness, that which God condemns, you are the enemy of the LORD and going to hell with them (James 4:4). You care more about pleasing the perverts than the God you falsely claim to serve (Titus 1:16). Hell awaits every moral coward – “the fearful.” (Revelation 21:8) To agree with evil is to disagree with He who is “Holy, holy, holy,” and to be ashamed of Him (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Revelation 4:8).

ABORTION is cold-blooded murder. Being legalized by mere sinful men makes it no less vile in the eyes of a HOLY God and JUDGE whom we shall all stand before to give an account of our lives in this world. SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY is also dead wrong – it’s a sin and always will be because God is not going to change.

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” Leviticus 20:13

If you are a man and not attracted to women, you have a problem – with God. If you are a woman and not attracted to men, you have a problem. This is not to condone lust whatsoever and yet, it’s natural for men and women – male and female – to be attracted to each other. That’s exactly how you and I got here friend….. keep it balanced!

God made men and women, like Adam and Eve, to be be attracted to one another, in sanctification, that is and ultimately in marriage. Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. It’s important to state this I believe, because of the filthy lies daily perpetrated upon the minds of people in this late hour, where the abomination of sodomy and lesbianism is promulgated as a legitimate, “alternative lifestyle.”

Being effeminate is sin.

Being a pansy is perversion.

An Effeminate Spirit

by Britt Williams

Psalms 12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

According to the Scriptures, the effeminate shall not inherit God’s Kingdom.

• Inherit:  {Greek} klay-ron-om-eh’-o, To be an heir to, to obtain by inheritance.

We often quote 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 to prove that men who commit such sins will not go to heaven, and so it is.  However, more accurately, this passage teaches that such sins are contrary to the nature of the redeemed life.  Remember, Jesus said…

Luke 17:20-21  …behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Men who commit these sins are clearly not part of the family of God; not in life, nor in death.  If there is no heaven in the soul, there can be no heaven in eternity.  Only heirs have a claim to God’s inheritance. Now, the word effeminate conjures up an image of the sissy.  Of course, this is not inaccurate but it’s not a perfect or pure definition.  So, what is an effeminate spirit?

• Effeminate:  {Greek} mal-ak-os’,  Soft (used only three times in the N.T., only here translated effeminate).

It’s that cowardly, weak, spineless, gutless, and mamby-pamby spirit that permeates our culture and has even crept into the professing church. It’s that attribute of the heart that refers to the plain declaration of God’s Word as just “too hard”.  Sadly, ours is a generation saturated with an effeminate quality, marked by moral softness, particularly among men.

• Effeminate:  {Webster’s} The softness, delicacy and weakness in men, which are characteristic of the female sex, but which in males are deemed a reproach.  Having the qualities of softness to an unmanly degree. Tender, womanish, or weak.

In the Kingdom of God, women have a very important role, but God is looking for men to lead the church.

Ezekiel 22:30  And I sought for a man…

A weak pulpit will always produce a weak and soft church.  If the leadership of the church is weak and indecisive, so will be the men and consequently, the entire church. With such compromise, the professing church is left vulnerable in the extreme. Biblical Christianity requires a rugged spiritual determination.  In the first chapter of Joshua we see the characteristics required to lead God’s people into the land.  No doubt, God wants these attributes in leadership because He desires them in all.

Joshua 1:6-7 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

All throughout the Bible, we see many kindred charges given to those who are called to inherit the promises.  For example, in the N.T., we are exhorted to…

1 Cor. 16:13  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Ephes. 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Such exhortations require us to cast off an effeminate spirit and walk in the power of the Holy Ghost, as God’s commands can only be fulfilled through God’s Spirit.  In this article, I want to contrast the prevailing, effeminate spirit, with the specific requirements of this charge in Joshua and prove there is an effeminate spirit which has infiltrated the professing church..

FIRST, WE ARE ADMONISHED TO BE STRONG

Joshua 1:7a  Only be thou strong…

But the effeminate, are feeble and weak.

The church of today stresses the weakness of the flesh while the N.T. church focused on the strength of Christ.  We used to sing “standing on the promises” but today they sing “We Fall Down”.  Today, misguided ministry seeks to soothe men in their sins while it encourages them to be content with weakness. Think about it, has there ever been a time when there is so much comfort given to spiritual weakness/failure?

Philip. 3:18-19  …whose glory is in their shame

The charge is not “be strong”, but rather, “you are irreparably weak, even under grace, and God does not expect more”.  Listen to an excerpt from Wesley’s comments on the effeminate mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9:

“Those who take up no cross, endure no hardship.”

-John Wesley

2 Tim. 2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

When King David committed to Solomon the responsibility of building God’s house he said…

1 Chron. 28:10  Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

In this charge, we see the same key elements as we read in Joshua.

1 Chron. 28:10  Take heed…be strong, and do it.

Ironically, nothing is more resisted in our times than a gospel that demands that people hear, be strong, and do. Our generation recoils at moral responsibility like oil resists water.  Of course, the Bible clearly teaches we are weak in and of ourselves.  We must be careful not to deny this Scriptural truth.  However, those that truly recognize this and humbly submit themselves to Christ will enjoy His divine and heavenly strength.

2 Cor. 12:10  …when I am weak, then am I strong.

A gospel that fails to promote Christ as all-sufficient Savior and strength for every trial and test of faith is effeminate in nature.

WE ARE CHARGED TO BE COURAGEOUS

Joshua 1:7b  Only be thou strong and very courageous…

While an effeminate spirit is riddled with fear and unbelief.

There is no need to take courage if there will be no opportunity to fear.  When we follow Christ, the enemy will oppose and attack our resolve and will offer one occasion after another to entertain fear…

2 Tim. 4:16  …no man stood with me, but all men forsook me

To follow Christ is no benign, flowery journey, but it is a path that leads directly into conflict.  There is no such thing as a Christianity void of spiritual warfare.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet avoid confrontation are people who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its waters.”    -Frederick Douglass

Every man who bows the knee to Christ will rise to look the devil and his crowd directly in the face. Remember, Christ came to deliver us from sin, but Satan and dead, sin-excusing religion comes in an attempt to deliver us from Christ.  Now, in the natural, a sissy is someone who avoids confrontation and who shuns a fight, because he is intimidated by conflict. Such forfeit the right to be called “men”.  Likewise, those who avoid the good fight of faith are unfit for heaven…

Rev. 21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

• Fearful: {Greek} di-los’, The timid or faithless.

In this hour there is a wholesale refusal to contend for the faith.  The gospel preached today produces men who grow squeamish when faced with battle and who faint at the sight of spiritual blood. However, the Holy Ghost has never backed down from a challenge from the devil.  I can’t fathom how men can read the N.T. and suppose we can live and preach this gospel free from opposition.  The true gospel strikes at and exposes the very animosity of sinful man toward God (it brings out the worst in sinners). The effeminate fear the rejection of the world. This fear is what spawns today’s crossless, bloodless gospel that is, sadly, gutted of its divine authority.

“The new cross encourages a new and entirely different evangelistic approach. The evangelist does not demand abnegation of the old life before a new life can be received. He preaches not contrasts, but similarities. He seeks to key in to public interests by showing that Christianity makes no unpleasant demands; rather, it offers the same thing the world does, only on a higher level. Whatever the sin-mad world happens to be clamoring after at the moment is cleverly shown to be the very thing the gospel offers, only the religious product is better. The new cross does not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gears him into a cleaner and jollier way of living and saves his self-respect. The Christian message is slanted in the direction of the current vogue, in order to make it acceptable to the public.” 

-A.W. Tozer

The popular concept that teaches that we must appeal, impress, or otherwise imitate the world to win the world is unbliblical:

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

• Conformed: {Greek} soos-khay-mat-id’-zo, To fashion alike or fashion self according to.

WE ARE CHARGED TO TAKE HEED TO GOD’S WORD 

Joshua 1:7c  …that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law

But an effeminate spirit either ignores, rejects, or otherwise disesteems God’s Word.

If we are to embrace God’s Word it will indeed require strength and courage.  The most unpopular words among professing Christians today are God’s Words.  One of the greatest battles of the Christian life is to overcome religion’s perpetual but subtle assault on obedience to God’s Word.

Matthew 23:13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Dead, sin-loving religion will always resist the will of God while the mark of the true Christian is a dogmatic zeal for the Scriptures.  Show me a man who genuinely loves God’s Word and I will show you a man who utterly hates anything contrary to God’s Word.

Psalm 119:104  Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

However, in this hour there is a moral laxity and softness that translates into a high tolerance for the grossest of sins. A genuine hatred for sin is often seen as extreme, drastic, bigoted, or fanatical. 

WE ARE COMMANDED TO DO

Joshua 1:7d  Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law….

Nevertheless, the effeminate insist they can’t, when in fact, they won’t. 

Luke 11:28  But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

The gospel preached today grants men an unbridled license to sin and yet proclaims that they are still under the love of God.  Sadly, the prevailing thought in this hour is that men can be born-again and yet remain unchanged.  However, this is a lie, the Bible is still true, if we hear and refuse to do, we are not liberated or enlightened, we are deceived.  The effeminate professors of Christianity are like the servant entrusted with one talent but who hid it in the earth out of fear.

Matthew 25:25  And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

They leave obedience to God, but God says, “you should have used what I gave you.”

Matthew 25:30  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

FINALLY, WE ARE TOLD TO BE STEADFAST 

Joshua 1:7e  …turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

But an effeminate spirit is moved by the slightest external pressure.

The genuine Christian is inspired from within by the indwelling spirit while the hypocrite is moved from without.  The only other time the Greek word translated “effeminate” in 1 Corinthians 6:9 is in the gospels…

Matthew 11:7-8  And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

Softness is not part of the heavenly adornment: King’s courts are for diplomats and court jesters, not prophets.  Generally, worldly high places are reserved for  delegates but dungeons are made for disciples.  The river reed swaying in the wind often gives a false indication of the direction of the river’s current.  The effeminate are moved by the wind of opposition, tribulation, and persecution, but soldiers for Christ are steadfast.

1 Cor. 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

We must avoid this effeminate spirit at all cost.

-B.W.
