====An LGBT Defence Misses a Biblical Point====
&quot;Now  the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no  pleasure in him&quot;<br>

Living for Jesus isn’t easy. His moral standards are high. If we want to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). For Christ, the cross literally meant giving up everything, even His own life. He denied His own will to do the will of the Father. God expects no less from us.
(Hebrews  10:38).<br>

<strong>Preface</strong><br>
+
In truth,  only two kinds of people inhabit this planet-- those who are&nbsp;<em>for</em>&nbsp;Christ and  those who are&nbsp;<em>against</em>&nbsp;Christ. Jesus said,&nbsp;&quot;He that is not  against us is on our part&quot;&nbsp;(Mark 9:40). The Apostle Peter wisely  observed,&nbsp;&quot;Of a truth I  perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that  feareth Him, and worketh Righteousness, is accepted with Him&quot;&nbsp;(Acts 10:34, 35). On one hand, Christ's  adversaries are commanded,&nbsp;&quot;Repent ye, and  believe the Gospel&quot;&nbsp;(Mark 1:15); but, on the  other, to the Saints, who may be presently undergoing difficult times and  circumstances, the Apostle Paul  said,&nbsp;&quot;Stand fast in the  faith, quit you like men, be strong&quot;&nbsp;(1Corinthians 16:13). Strength comes in the believing of  those words from God.&nbsp;&quot;In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth  rise up and walk&quot;&nbsp;(Acts 3:6). The Epistle  of James promised,&nbsp;&quot;Draw nigh to God,  and He will draw nigh to you&quot;&nbsp;(James  4:8). And, to that testimony, the Apostle Paul added,&nbsp;&quot;If God be for us, who can be against  us?&quot;&nbsp;(Romans 8:31).&nbsp;<em>If  we are doing right, then we should never quit.</em>&quot;Now the just  shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure  in him&quot;&nbsp;(Hebrews 10:38).<br>
+
<br>
+
<strong>Right Doing is Righteousness</strong><br>
+
<br>
+
Right action  flows from right willing or the willingness to do right. That is Righteousness.&nbsp;&quot;Little children, let no man deceive you:  he that doeth Righteousness is righteous, even as He is Righteous&quot;&nbsp;(1John 3:7). When we are actively trusting&nbsp;&quot;Jesus Christ  the Righteous&quot;&nbsp;(2:1), then we are&nbsp;&quot;clothed with Righteousness&quot;&nbsp;(Psalm 132:9), and we may rely that His promised Spirit is  working in us&nbsp;&quot;to will and to do of His good pleasure&quot;&nbsp;(Philippians 2:13). In  fact, we may fortify ourselves that so long as we still have the slightest  willingness to do right, the Almighty will breathe strength into us by His  Spirit.&nbsp;&quot;And I will put My  Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My Statutes, and ye shall keep My  Judgments, and do them&quot;&nbsp;(Ezekiel 36:27). What an  amazing amalgamation of the Sovereignty of God with the Free Will of man!&nbsp;&quot;My Father worketh hitherto, and I  work&quot;&nbsp;(John  5:17)! When you feel yourself ready to give up, pray for the mercy of God--&nbsp;&quot;uphold me with Thy Free Spirit&quot;&nbsp;(Psalm 51:12). Since God&nbsp;&quot;cannot deny Himself&quot;&nbsp;(2Timothy 2:13), in that He faithfully chooses the right, He  will always choose those who choose the right, as well, i.e.,&nbsp;&quot;Blessed are they that keep judgment, and  he that doeth Righteousness at all times&quot;(Psalm 106:3). Even when He will soon  judge the Earth, He chooses the right in that He seeks His own highest good and  the highest good of His moral creatures.&nbsp;&quot;Thus will I magnify  Myself, and sanctify Myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations,  and they shall know that I am the LORD&quot;&nbsp;(Ezekiel 38:23).&nbsp;&quot;The LORD is known  by the Judgment which He executeth&quot;&nbsp;(Psalm 9:16).&nbsp;&quot;When Thy  Judgments are in the Earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn  Righteousness&quot;&nbsp;(Isaiah 26:9).<br>
+
  
<strong>Giving Up on God is Not Our Right</strong><br>
+
Although Christ’s moral demands in Scripture are difficult to follow, we’re still required to obey Him. Some people, however, want to change the demand. Instead of either submitting to or rejecting the Bible’s requirements, they want to change them. Advocates of pro-gay theology take this approach. Although Scripture clearly prohibits homosexual behaviour (Lev. 18:22, Rom. 1:26–27, 1 Cor. 6:9, etc.), they claim it only opposes abusive, exploitive, or coercive homosexual sex acts such as gang rape, master-slave sodomy, and pederasty. Homosexuals today don’t engage in such abusive acts. Their relationships are loving and consensual, we’re told. Therefore, the biblical prohibitions don’t apply to them.
  
When we are tempted to cease from doing right, we are tempted to give up on God, e.g.,&nbsp;&quot;he that believeth not God hath made Him a  liar&quot;&nbsp;(1John 5:10). We have no more right to give up on  God than an employee has to disobey a lawful order from his employer.&nbsp;&quot;Servants, obey in all things your masters  according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness  of heart, fearing God&quot;&nbsp;(Colossians 3:22). Neither should we feel that children obeying their parents is anything but what  is expected by God and ourselves.&nbsp;&quot;Children, obey  your parents in the LORD: for this is right&quot;&nbsp;(Ephesians 6:1). In fact, we have no right to feel that we  have done anything but our duty, when we did not give up on God.&nbsp;&quot;So likewise ye, when ye shall have done  all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we  have done that which was our duty to do&quot;&nbsp;(Luke 17:10). That  God is pleased with our faith and right doing is evident by His Word, i.e.,&nbsp;&quot;without faith it is impossible to please  Him&quot;&nbsp;(Hebrews 11:6), and by His rewards, e.g.,&nbsp;&quot;Blessed is the man that endureth  temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the Crown of Life, which the  LORD hath promised to them that love Him&quot;&nbsp;(James 1:12).<strong>But</strong>, His punishment for unbelief,  disobedience, and wickedness demonstrates His displeasure for our not doing or  ceasing to do what we know is right, i.e.,&nbsp;&quot;Therefore to him  that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin&quot;&nbsp;(James 4:17).&nbsp;&quot;8&nbsp;But unto them that are contentious, and do not  obey the Truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,&nbsp;9&nbsp;tribulation and  anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of  the Gentile&quot;&nbsp;(Romans 2:8-9).<br>
+
Pro-gay theology advocates are missing the Bible’s point. It doesn’t matter why you might engage in a behaviour, only that you do. In other words, what Scripture prohibits is the behaviour of homosexual sex, regardless of why you engage in it. For example, it doesn’t matter if you’re curious about homosexuality and you just want to experiment. Homosexual sex in that case is prohibited. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man in a prison population and the only sexual outlet is another man. Scripture forbids homosexual sex in that case as well. It also doesn’t matter if you experience same-sex attraction, even if you were born that way. Homosexual sex is off limits in that case, too. What Scripture prohibits is homosexual sex, no matter your reason for engaging in it.
  
<strong>God's Spirit and Promises Keep Us From Giving Up on Him</strong><br>
+
Consider another sexual sin, the sin of adultery. It doesn’t matter why you might find yourself in an adulterous relationship. It’s a sin no matter how you got in bed with someone who’s not your spouse. If you’re married to person A, person B is off limits. Person C, D, and E are also off limits. They’re off limits for any reason. It doesn’t even matter if you “discover” that they’re your soul mate. Sex with anyone other than person A is sexual sin. Period. That’s because according to the Genesis account of creation, when it comes to sex and marriage, it’s about one man with one woman becoming one flesh for one lifetime. Adultery and homosexuality violate that design.
<br>

Has the dinner bell rung yet? Is it time to  quit? Has God officially authorized us to stop doing our duty? Was it not our  understanding to keep our&nbsp;&quot;hand to the plough&quot;&nbsp;(Luke 9:62)&nbsp;until the LORD takes us Home, as He  did Enoch?&nbsp;&quot;And Enoch walked  with God: and he was not; for God took him&quot;&nbsp;(Genesis 5:24). When we are tempted to give up on God, then  we need to immediately avail ourselves of the Exceeding Great and Precious  Promises of God, that have been specifically designed for just such  temptations.&nbsp;&quot;Whereby are given  unto us Exceeding Great and Precious Promises: that by these ye might be  partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the  world through lust&quot;(2Peter 1:4).&nbsp;, to see how God has  magnificently designed His Promises to fit our every conceivable circumstance  and thereby sanctify and further prepare us for our future Heavenly vocations.]<br>
+
Spiritual first aid begins by pouring in as many Promises of the Word of God as  we can reasonably find.&nbsp;&quot;As thy days, so  shall thy strength be&quot;&nbsp;(Deuteronomy 33:25).&nbsp;&nbsp;of our website would be a good place to start. Couple a good  Promise with a computerized cross reference search, such as the Treasury of  Scripture Knowledge used by the Online Bible &nbsp;and&nbsp;, and you will be able  to find even more Promises.]&nbsp;Especially  find one Promise that the Holy Spirit can recall to your mind. For example, the need for the&nbsp;&quot;meekness and gentleness  of Christ&quot;&nbsp;(2Corinthians 10:1), especially when you are provoked by  those that despise your testimony, may call forth the Promise that preeminence  with God goes to those who primarily defend Him and not self:&nbsp;&quot;the last shall be first, and the first last&quot;&nbsp;(Matthew 20:16). The&nbsp;&quot;meek and lowly in heart&quot;&nbsp;Christ&nbsp;(Matthew 11:29)&nbsp;is<em>always</em>&nbsp;the Promise, the Pattern. and the  Example that&nbsp;&quot;ye should follow  His steps&quot;&nbsp;(1Peter 2:21).&nbsp;&quot;He was oppressed, and He was afflicted,  yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a  sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth&quot;&nbsp;(Isaiah 53:7).&nbsp;[More  about meekness may be found in the&nbsp;<br>

Again, you may not think of your bouts with impatience, haughtiness, fearfulness, etc. as anything more than something that you have under control;  but, why do you keep repeating the same pattern of failure?&nbsp;&quot;Are ye so foolish? having begun in the  Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?&quot;&nbsp;(Galatians 3:3). Isn't that the same as giving up on God by  fits and starts?&nbsp;&quot;He that trusteth  in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be  delivered&quot;&nbsp;(Proverbs 28:26). It is not enough to know that you should not do something&nbsp;<em>or</em>&nbsp;that you should do something,&nbsp;<em>but</em>&nbsp;you need the assistance of the Holy  Spirit to help you do what God says you are able to do but won't succeed in  doing until He intervenes.&nbsp;&quot;And I will put My  Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My Statutes, and ye shall keep My  Judgments, and do them&quot;&nbsp;(Ezekiel 36:27).&nbsp;[See our editorial, &quot;, to see how Divine  Sovereignty providentially needs not overpower our Free Will to insure our obedience.]<br>
+
Modern pro-gay theology advocates argue that the Bible knows nothing of loving, consensual homosexual relationships. Even if that’s true, it doesn’t matter. The Bible prohibits homosexual sex, regardless of why you might engage in it. It categorically prohibits same-sex relations of any type and for any reason.
 +
 
 +
Similar reasoning is used to justify being transgender. I argue that Scripture teaches that humans are supposed to identify with the gender that is consistent with their biology. If you’re biologically male, then you should identify as male. If you’re biologically female, then identify as female. Every time the Bible addresses people crossing gender boundaries, it speaks negatively of it.
 +
 
 +
For example, Deuteronomy 22:5 says, “A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” The purpose of this prohibition is to maintain the distinction of the two genders established by God in the Genesis account of creation (e.g. Gen. 1:27 “…male and female He created them”).
 +
 
 +
To sidestep this moral demand, some claim that Deut. 22:5 is merely about cross-dressing and doesn’t address a person with a transgender identity. Again, this misses the point. The Bible isn’t saying that cross-dressing is prohibited unless you have a bona fide transgender identity. It’s not talking about your beliefs about gender or claimed identity. What it prohibits is a certain behaviour—trying to look like the sex that you’re not.
 +
 
 +
Even the context doesn’t help those who are attempting to reinterpret the biblical text. The verse before Deuteronomy 22:5 is about helping a neighbour's donkey and the verse after prohibits killing a mother bird. There’s no exception made for a transgender identity or any other motive. The verse simply entails an unqualified prohibition against trying to appear like someone of the opposite sex.
 +
 
 +
It’s important to recognise what people who are attempting to reinterpret the biblical text are trying to do. They want to sidestep the moral demands of Scripture which, let’s face it, is something every one of us is tempted to do to justify our sin. As Christ said, anyone who wants to be His disciple must deny himself and take up his cross. That means giving up our own will, and that’s not easy to do. God hasn’t left us, however, to muster up the strength on our own to do His will. He has given us the Holy Spirit to help us in our weakness. With His strength, we can deny ourselves and do the will of the Father.

Though giving up on God is an option, why  entertain it?&nbsp;&quot;He which hath  begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus  Christ&quot;&nbsp;(Philippians 1:6). What  is the value of a Promise for your perseverance, unless you believe it?&nbsp;&quot;6&nbsp;But Christ as a Son  over His Own House; whose House are we,&nbsp;<strong>if</strong>&nbsp;we hold fast the confidence and the  rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end...&nbsp;14&nbsp;For we are made partakers of Christ,&nbsp;<strong>if</strong>&nbsp;we hold the beginning of our  confidence stedfast unto the end&quot;&nbsp;(Hebrews 3:6, 14). May  the God&quot;Who  worketh all things after the Counsel of His Own Will&quot;&nbsp;(Ephesians 1:11)&nbsp;magnify  Himself in keeping us from giving up on Him, in that&nbsp;&quot;He is able even to subdue all things unto  Himself&quot;&nbsp;(Philippians 3:21).<br>

An LGBT Defence Misses a Biblical Point

Living for Jesus isn’t easy. His moral standards are high. If we want to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). For Christ, the cross literally meant giving up everything, even His own life. He denied His own will to do the will of the Father. God expects no less from us.

Although Christ’s moral demands in Scripture are difficult to follow, we’re still required to obey Him. Some people, however, want to change the demand. Instead of either submitting to or rejecting the Bible’s requirements, they want to change them. Advocates of pro-gay theology take this approach. Although Scripture clearly prohibits homosexual behaviour (Lev. 18:22, Rom. 1:26–27, 1 Cor. 6:9, etc.), they claim it only opposes abusive, exploitive, or coercive homosexual sex acts such as gang rape, master-slave sodomy, and pederasty. Homosexuals today don’t engage in such abusive acts. Their relationships are loving and consensual, we’re told. Therefore, the biblical prohibitions don’t apply to them.

Pro-gay theology advocates are missing the Bible’s point. It doesn’t matter why you might engage in a behaviour, only that you do. In other words, what Scripture prohibits is the behaviour of homosexual sex, regardless of why you engage in it. For example, it doesn’t matter if you’re curious about homosexuality and you just want to experiment. Homosexual sex in that case is prohibited. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man in a prison population and the only sexual outlet is another man. Scripture forbids homosexual sex in that case as well. It also doesn’t matter if you experience same-sex attraction, even if you were born that way. Homosexual sex is off limits in that case, too. What Scripture prohibits is homosexual sex, no matter your reason for engaging in it.

Consider another sexual sin, the sin of adultery. It doesn’t matter why you might find yourself in an adulterous relationship. It’s a sin no matter how you got in bed with someone who’s not your spouse. If you’re married to person A, person B is off limits. Person C, D, and E are also off limits. They’re off limits for any reason. It doesn’t even matter if you “discover” that they’re your soul mate. Sex with anyone other than person A is sexual sin. Period. That’s because according to the Genesis account of creation, when it comes to sex and marriage, it’s about one man with one woman becoming one flesh for one lifetime. Adultery and homosexuality violate that design.

In this video we expose the pagan Trinity. We answer the questions - Is the Trinity doctrine in the Bible? Why do Christians believe in a Trinity? We also give amazing facts and proof that the Trinity is a false doctrine. In exposing the Trinity lie one must be willing to take a clear and unbiased look at the Bible and Christian history. It's amazing how the facts regarding the pagan Trinity are so numerous and overwhelming. The history of the Church can be eye-opening. Why does the Roman Catholic church believe in a Trinity? Why do Protestants believe in a Trinity? Where did the false Trinity doctrine come from?

When Demons Are Real!

Do you have a ministry or a business
Do you have a called of God ministry where your whole purpose is to "feed the sheep", and God supplies your needs, or do you have books, tapes, videos, etc. that you SELL for a "donation", or just outright SELL, and your buyers supply your needs?

There is nothing wrong with being in business and selling things. However, if you are a church or any kind of "ministry", you may want to check your motive for how you are conducting the work of the Lord.

Remember the money changers in the temple where JESUS turned over the tables and threw them out. They were selling things in the "CHURCH".
(God made it quite clear to us that we were not to charge for anything, that HE is our source.)
