"In the Name of JESUS I cover you with the Blood of JESUS, I bind all your demons, I cut and burn the ungodly silver cords and lay lines, and I RETURN all curses sevenfold. JESUS IS THE DELIVERER!!"

[Before we get into this, the answer is "NO". There is no "gay bashing" here. Just Scriptures and facts. JESUS loves you and wants to set you free. This can only be done through DELIVERANCE (by having your demons cast OUT in the name of JESUS.]

To find the answer to this often asked question, we need to go back to the Creator's plan and purpose for man. We will see what He made, why He made it, and how He made it. Did He consider it good, and was He pleased with that which He created?

Genesis 1:26-28, 31 - 26. God said, Let us [Father, Son and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over every thing that creeps upon the earth.

27. So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28. And God blessed them, and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it [with all its vast resources]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.

31. And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good--suitable, pleasant -- and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

When God created mankind, He made them in His image: MALE AND FEMALE! Their purpose was to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it together.

God especially created for man a woman who would be his helpmeet, walk by his side and bear him children. Woman is not to be beneath or over a man but is to walk by his side. When God set forth His plan for mankind in the very beginning, He created everything that was necessary for life on our planet.

Since God is the same yesterday, today and forever, how could He change His established plans and begin creating homosexuals and lesbians? (which He calls an abomination).

Genesis 2:18, 22-25 - 18. Now the Lord God said, It is not good [sufficient, satisfactory] that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet [suitable, adapted, completing] for him.

22. And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man, He built up and made into a woman and brought her to the man.

23. Then Adam said, This [creature] is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of a man.

24. Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

In Genesis 2:24, God laid down another foundation. A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. This was given before there was a mother and father, so it was important to God that He establish the family as male and female.

As time went on, and man began to multiply upon the earth, man became so depraved that God decided to destroy all mankind.

Genesis 6:5-7 - 5. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was on evil continually.

6. And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart.

7. So the Lord said, I will destroy, blot out and wipe away mankind whom I have created from the face of the ground; not only man, [but] the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air, for it grieves and makes me regretful that I have made them.

God destroyed everything except for one man and his family. All the animals that He saved were male and female.

Genesis 9:1: God pronounced a blessing upon Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth."

How can lesbians and homosexuals be fruitful and multiply? They cannot reproduce naturally. They must either adopt children, or else marry, have children, divorce, and sue for custody of those children. What a terrible thing to do to children in order to fulfill one's own selfish lusts.

Another reason God put male and female together as partners was because of the way they were created for sexual union. The human male and female face each other in intercourse. They can see eye to eye, touch mouth to mouth and touch one another freely. In the animal kingdom, the female has her back to the male. Beasts cannot see each other, or touch freely. The male is holding on to the female's back, and she is standing on her feet in a bent position.

Homosexuals have sex in the same manner as animals, (front to back or oral sex), rather than in the natural way of God's creation. Lesbians must resort to oral sex, or use artificial methods of intercourse, in order to obtain satisfaction. Ezekiel 16:46-53 describes women having affairs with one another.

Romans 1:26, 27 - 26. For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one.

27. And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burned out, consumed) with lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution."

In Genesis 13, the story is told of Lot choosing Sodom as the place he wanted to live. Sodom was very wicked and sinful in the eyes of the Lord, for the men of that city burned in lust for one another.

In Genesis 18, God was about to destroy Sodom. Abraham asked the Lord not to destroy the city if ten righteous men were found there. Only Lot, his wife, his two daughters and their husbands, were found to be righteous. God then sent two angels to warn Lot to leave the city.

Genesis 19:13, "For we will spoil and destroy [Sodom], for the outcry and shriek against its people has grown great before the Lord; and He has sent us to destroy it."

The men of Sodom wanted Lot to send out the two angels so that they could know them intimately through homosexual acts. If God made homosexuals and is pleased with them, why would He destroy them? God speaks very strongly against homosexuals and sexual sins in Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination. (See: I Cor. 6:9-10).

29. Whoever commits any of these abominations shall be cut off from among [his] people.

Leviticus 20:13, "If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense -- perverse, unnatural, abhorrent and detestable; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Why would God say such a thing about something He created, if He created it that way and for that purpose?

Is that a loving Father, to create homosexuals and then curse them for being so? No, God did not create homosexuality; it comes from satan, and the demon of FATHER REJECTION is the root cause of it. Nevertheless, homosexuality can be stopped and dealt with. Homosexuals can be DELIVERED from homosexuality. There is HOPE.

The verse last quoted states that "their blood shall be upon them". The AIDS virus is found in the blood and passed to others through the blood. AIDS is a curse from God, and man has not been able to find a cure and probably never will.

How can we know that God is not pleased with the homosexual life style today? Just because it is the 20th century, does this change God's mind about this perverted life style.

Leviticus 20:23, "You shall not walk in the customs of the nations which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I was wearied and grieved by them.

Leviticus 20:26, "You shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine."

This is a clear instruction that we are to be different and separate from all that the world believes and calls "normal". Many people in authority do not know how to help people inclined towards homosexuality and can provide no answers that will free them; therefore, homosexuals have had to justify their life style and try to be "good" homosexuals.

I Corinthians 6:9, 10, "Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality...will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God."

Homosexuality is now being accepted by many as a third alternative life style, but that is not the way that God created man. This life style is demonic, demoralizing and a strong deception from satan. It will bring the CURSE OF SODOM upon America as well as all those who are involved in this sinful life style. Between the homosexual movement and the millions of babies aborted each year, we are standing on the brink of a great judgment from the hand of God.

Deuteronomy 22:5, "The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord your God."

Are not those mocking God and blaspheming His Word who say that He created the homosexual and agree that the life style is acceptable?

Examine the animal world. It has stayed sexually pure as it was created -- male and female -- not male/male and female/female. The only perversion of species has come through the hand of man. Many animals mate for life, and only death separates them. The male and female share the responsibility of their offspring's care. Man is not one with the animals, earth or trees, as some believe. We can learn from the animals regarding the family unit and how it is run.

The animals mate for reproduction purposes only. They protect and cherish their young. Human babies have lost all value, in the estimation of many people. They are throw-away inconveniences. We are at a point now where animals are more important than human babies. We save the whales but kill the babies!

How much more perverse can the world get, and still remain? The cry in God's ear has to be like that of Sodom. The atmosphere gets more violent and vulgar as time goes on. When hearts become hardened to killing (whether the unborn, the old or the sick), then man has sunk to a new low.

There has been much research done on many of the major diseases of our time. The AIDS virus has come from the perverted life style of homosexuals and drug addicts. (The curse is in their blood). They need help. They need to be taught that their life style is an abomination to God and how to come out of it. They must come to understand that homosexuality is not an alternative life style but a perversion.

AIDS research has no more rights to financial help than do other diseases. Cancer, MS, MD and other killer diseases also need money for research. At least the latter diseases have not come from a life style that offends God.

The disease of AIDS is spreading rapidly because homosexuals will not change their life style. They are even trying to spread it into the heterosexual community so that more money can be appropriated for seeking a cure.

God desires all lesbians and homosexuals to be free of this life style. He loves them and died for them, but the sexual perversion is an abomination to him. He will destroy those who will not change. If you know of anyone that is a homosexual or a lesbian, I urge you to share this information with them. Let them know that there is another choice -- the choice to come out of that life style. IT CAN BE DONE. Here are the necessary steps:

1. Call upon the name of the Lord for forgiveness.

John 3:16. For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only-begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish -- come to destruction, be lost -- but have eternal (everlasting) life.

John 3:18. He who believes on Him (JESUS)...is not judged (he incurs no damnation). But he who does not believe is judged already; (he has already received his sentence).

John 14:6. JESUS said to him, I am the Way the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

Romans 3:23. All have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives.

Romans 5:6. While we are yet in weakness -- powerless to help ourselves -- at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.

Acts 2:21. And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 2:38. And Peter answered them, Repent...and be baptized everyone of you in the name of JESUS Christ for the forgiveness and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 16:16. He who believes...and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

2. Find a [MINISTRY] that will work with you in coming out of the homosexual community. [MAKE SURE THEY ARE PRACTICING DELIVERANCE ON A DAILY BASIS. ETDC] If they know you are sincere and teachable, they will take the time to help you.

3. Be willing to be taught how to walk, dress, talk and act. YOU must change your old ways.

II Cor. 5:17. Therefore if any person is (ingrafted) in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away. Behold the fresh and new has come!

4. Begin to mix with heterosexual couples that can show you how to act and relate to people of the opposite sex.

5. Love and forgive yourself, and believe that God loves and forgives you, too!

Romans 13:9. "You shall love your neighbor as (you do) yourself": not in a prideful way, but knowing that God created you in His image, and that He wants you to love and accept yourself.

Isaiah 45:22. Look to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

6. (THIS ONE ADDED BY ETDC.) Seek DELIVERANCE from someone that is capable to drive out your demons. THIS STEP IS VITAL!

ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURES ON HOMOSEXUALITY

For whom the law and punishment were decreed. What they will be doing in the last days.

Proverbs 6:13: He winks with his eyes, he speaks by shuffling or tapping with his feet, he makes signs [to mislead and deceive] and teaches with his fingers.

I Timothy 1:10: [For] impure and immoral persons, those who abuse themselves with men, kidnappers, liars perjurers and whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching and sound doctrine.

II Timothy 3:3: [They shall be] without natural (human) affection (callous and inhuman), relentless -- admitting of no truce or appeasement. [They will be] slanderers -- false accusers, trouble makers; intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.

II Peter 2:7-22

I Thessalonians 4:7: For God has not called us to impurity, but to consecration [to dedicate ourselves to the most through purity].

Jude 1:7: (The wicked are sentenced to suffer) just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns, which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity, and laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.

Jude 1:18-19: They told you beforehand. In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers -- who seek to gratify their own unholy desires -- following after their own ungodly passions.

It is these who are (agitators) setting up distinctions and causing divisions; merely sensual [creatures] -- carnal, worldly-minded people -- devoid of the (holy) Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.

Romans l:24-27: Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, abandoning them to the degrading power of sin.

Because they exchanged the truth of "God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen -- so be it.

For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one;

And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burned out, consumed) with lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.

Ephesians 5:4-5: Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God].

For be sure of this, that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous -- that is, who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain -- [for] that [in effect] is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

SCRIPTURES HOMOSEXUALS PERVERT

The Scripture must be "rightly divided". When a person twists scripture, to make evil good and good evil, he perverts the Word to his own destruction.

II Peter 3:16. "There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures."

The following Scriptures are those which homosexuals commonly pervert:

Genesis 2:18. God created a "help meet" for him [Adam]." This help meet was not another man, as homosexuals contend, but "a woman" v.22.

I Sam. 18:1-4; II Sam. 1:26. David said that Jonathan's love was "wonderful, passing the love of women". To contend that such devotion and commitment make them homosexuals is a perversion of God's Word.

Ruth 1:16. Ruth's pledge of loyalty to Naomi is twisted to contend that they were lesbians.

Romans 1:26-27. The term "natural function", referring to sexual union of men with women, and women with men, is reversed to mean that it is unnatural to have sex with a person of the opposite gender.

I Timothy 2:7-15. Paul's teaching on the woman's role of submission is made grounds for accusing Paul of being a homosexual.

II Cor. 12:7-9. Paul's "thorn in the flesh" is interpreted to signify that he was a homosexual. "God's grace was sufficient to help him deal with homosexuality."

I Cor. 7:32-33. Homosexuals twist this passage to say that Paul taught against marriage. They make marriage a sin, and justify homosexuality as no more of a sin than would be a marriage between a man and a woman.

John 13:25; 21:20. JESUS and John are made out to be homosexual lovers because John laid his head on JESUS' breast at the Last Supper.

WARNING!!

I Peter 3:17. "Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons]."

I Corinthians 6:9. Do you now know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in HOMOSEXUALITY,

6:10. Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.

6:11. And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord JESUS Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.

GET SAVED, AND GO THROUGH DELIVERANCE!!

This related article comes from the Christian Prophecy magazine, "MIDNIGHT CALL", SEPTEMBER 1993 ISSUE, 4694 Platt Springs Road, West Columbia, SC 29170.

"SODOMITES LOSE 30 YEARS OF LIFE

A study of 5,200 obituaries over five years, in 16 homosexual newspapers, plus dozens of other studies, show that homosexual conduct reduces life expectancy by 30 years.

A report, "Homosexuality, A Public Health Problem", by Raphael Kazmann shows the average age of homosexuals dying with AIDS is 39. The average age of homosexuals dying of all other causes is only 41. In an astonishing result, the study showed only 1 percent of homosexuals lived to be 65 or older.

The report indicated five things are contributing to their early deaths:

1. SUICIDE

First, suicide is epidemic among homosexuals. Their suicide rate is 60 times as high as the general population. While they have labeled their lifestyle as "gay," many prefer death rather than to continue living in it. USA TODAY reported Massachusetts will launch what supporters say is the first state health and suicide prevention program to help gay youths. The cost of the program will be $200,000. Gay youths, the report states, are two to three times more likely than other teens to attempt suicide." (USA TODAY, Jan. 29, 1993, p.3A)

Homosexuals say this is a result of religion and society in general denouncing their life style. Such charges hardly seem reasonable. Our society viciously denounces the racists of the Ku Klux Klan without raising the Klan suicide rate.

2. DRUG ABUSE

A second factor in the short life expectancy of homosexuals is drug abuse. Men practicing sodomy are three times as likely to have alcohol or drug abuse problems. This leads to an increase in heart, lung and liver failure as well as an increase in accidental deaths.

3. AUTO ACCIDENTS

Raphael Kazmann's report gave highway fatalities as a third factor. Homosexual deaths in auto accidents are 45 times greater than in the heterosexual community.

4. DISEASE

The fourth factor shortening homosexual's lives is disease. Homosexuals are 14 times more likely to have had syphilis; 23 times more likely to contract some venereal disease; and thousands of times more likely to contract AIDS. Lesbians are 19 times more likely than heterosexual women to have had syphilis; twice as likely to suffer from genital warts; and four times as likely to have scabies.

The homosexual political agenda expands the number of health related deaths. Homosexuals have strongly opposed society's traditional right to report AIDS and trace potentially infected partners. After seven years and more deaths than the Vietnamese war, the American Medical Association finally called for contact tracing of AIDS patients. That just means telling a sex partner that their partner has the disease. But that interferes with "privacy" and so homosexuals continue to oppose tracing. So AIDS continues to destroy tens of thousands in the homosexual community.

5. MURDER

The fifth factor in the premature deaths of homosexuals is murder. "Homosexuality, A Public Health Problem," reveals the ratio of homosexual men murdered (one in 200 deaths) was 50 times that of the general population.

The intelligent attitude toward homosexuals should be the same as the intelligent attitude toward tobacco users. Both have a life style that is going to kill them, prematurely robbing them of many years of productive life. Both have a powerful addiction. Both derive pleasure from their practice. Both resist efforts to get them to stop their practice. And both are deserving of all the compassion we can muster. The poor people are killing themselves.

The thinking members of American society are working to discourage smoking, toxic pollution and high fat diets for the simple reason that they reduce human life expectancy. Yet none of these threats reduces life expectancy as much as homosexual conduct. Therefore, thinking members of society must work harder to discourage homosexuality [rather than toxic pollution, smoking, and high-fat diets.]

And in light of this new knowledge, isn't it easier to understand why God opposes homosexuality? It kills the very creatures He molded in His own image and gave life to them.

--The Moody Adams Report, May 1993

The Sodomite sin against his own body is an extremely grave one because man was created in the image of God. Moses wrote the clear command of God regarding homosexuality, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22).

Then he gives the reason why the nations that occupied the Promised Land died or were expelled, "For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you." (Verses 27-28).

During the time of the law, death was the punishment for such vile practices, "For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people." (Verse 29).

Is there hope for homosexuals and lesbians who have sinned against their own bodies? The New Testament gives a very clear answer, "...him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37) and 1st John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.""
