~ Celebrate Diversity ~
People Say
~ “Celebrate Diversity” has
become a battle cry largely of the gay community. After all there’s nothing wrong with the gay
lifestyle—we should celebrate it in Gay Pride Parades and events.
God
Answers ~ “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is
an abomination! Nor shall you mate
with any animal, to defile yourself with it.
Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is
perversion! Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all
these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit
the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its
inhabitants” (Leviticus 18:22-25).
“If a man lies with a male
as he lies with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination” (Leviticus 20:13).
The
Significance ~ “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural
use for what is against nature. Likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for
one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in
themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God
in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things
which are not fitting” (Romans 1:26-28).
“Do you not know that the
unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will
inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
