Sodomy

     Leviticus 18:22-28; “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

23 “Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

24 “Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

     In the Old Testament, homosexuality was called sodomy. It was when a man slept with a man or a woman slept with a woman. It was wrong then and is wrong now. It states pretty clearly that that is not okay, but people nowadays tend to think that it is okay. Let me tell you. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. What he said was wrong and detestable in his sight before will always be that.

     Now, I have some friends who are homosexuals, or sodomites, and it is hard to know how to act around them sometimes. It also says in the Bible that, it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.  Matthew 9:12. It would not seem right to shun someone just because he sins differently that you. I am friends with those kind of people because they are people just like you and me and I hope to be an example of Christ in their lives. That doesn't mean you should agree with their choices. You should not. That is what Phil Robertson has been talking about.  Don't compromise your rights. James 4:17; So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. You also should not make them your best friends because then they are more likely to influence you more than you influence them. Jesus did not make tax-collectors and murderers his best friends, but he still loved and cared for them. Be wise in all you do.
