What does the Bible say about being Gay? For real!
Long story short, it can be explained 2 ways...First the easy way...
1. marriage is described as 1 man, 1 woman. Period. No more no less. Now any sex out side of marriage is adultry.
So if you CANT marry a gay lover because you are commiting adultry every time. Gay or not, single or married. If it aint with your spouse... its a sin.
This one is the complex one.
2. Ok, above in the 1st question Jesus answers in Matt 15, with what is in an evil heart? an unclean heart gives murder, adultry, sexual immorality, theft, lying, slander.....
Now he was addressing Jews in this conversation.
So what is Sexually immoral to Jews?
Go back to the Torah and in it you'll find Leviticus 18 and the sexual dos and donts. So Jesus himself upheld the previous law and reenforced it. That a man laying with a man like a woman is bad. Period. Or his mother, sister, dads wife Ect...
Well what if im not a Jew can i be gay?
No, it goes for gentiles too.. Our goal it to strengthen our relationship with God and live for him and break free from chains of lust that trap us.
People and some Pastors like to twist the Scriptures to
1.Justify thier cause
2. Pad thier wallets or
3. For status....I mean there is a plethora of reasons but in the end they will be held accountable.
Well, what can we do if we are gay? Dont act on it. We are all tempted by what we want. Period. Someone may be an alcoholic but dont drink. They fight the urge everyday, can almost taste it, can remember the feeling of comfort it gave. Don't put yourself in a position to repeat it.
They avoid the bars and old friends who drink. The old friends may say they are being stuck up but nope, they are looking out for themselves. We have New Life when we come to Christ. New Hope, New Love and in life friends will come and go. So dont be disparraged when your old friends guilt you then reject you altogether. You have to surround yourself with folks who will hold you accountable and "sharpen" you. Not tear you down.
