1 SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY vs. GOD S WORD What Jesus said about Sodom and Gomorrah Taylor E. Hoynes, Jr. All Scripture from NASB (New American Standard Bible) unless otherwise noted. WHAT DOES GOD S WORD SAY ABOUT SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY LBGT ACTIVITY? There is so much confusion about homosexuality with the Leftist Main Stream Media and now even our government teaching about this. Even in the Christian/Judeo community there are some beliefs and even teaching that is contrary to Bible, God s Word. (*See note below) Here is the teaching from His Word in the Old Testament and New Testament and warnings from God about teaching false doctrine. There is no truth that when one chooses to practice homosexuality that he or she cannot come to know God s Truth and come out of that lifestyle. There are thousands of men and women who have accomplished this through His Word and acceptance the real Truth about homosexuality. You may or may not accept this Truth, but it does not alter what God s teaching and the revaluations about any sin and its consequences. * [BEWARE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE SITES based on SOCIALISM based on LIES based on BIBLE VERSES TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT-From the DEVIL The FATHER of LIES BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS Behold I Am Against The Prophets-the lord declares- Who Use Their Tongues & Declare The Lord Declares Jer 23:31 Beware Of Cafeteria Christianity i.e. Socialist Theology LIBERATION THEOLOGY Christian Marxist Theology America s Real Crisis: The Question of Who, or What is our Authority The basic tenets of their philosophy are TOLERANCE and they preach and teach a Gospel of perversion. That we all must accept homosexuality and homosexual marriages even in the church and that there is no hell. They teach Social Justice i.e. Social Inequalities, redistribution of wealth; it is a Godless Socialist Theology.] Jesus said, I Am The Way, The Truth And The Life, No One Comes To The Father But Through Me John 14:6 Know The Truth And The Truth Will Set You Free John 8:32

2 Do You Not Yet See Or Understand? Do You Have A Hardened Heart? 18 HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? Mark 8:17,18 Do Not Think That I Came To Abolish The Law Or The Prophets; I Did Not Come To Abolish, But To Fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I Say To You, That Unless Your Righteousness Surpasses That Of The Scribes And Pharisees, You Shall Not Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven. Matt 5: Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will a know them by their fruits (behavior, deeds).. Matthew 7:15,16 YES GOD IS LOVE, BUT GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE AND WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever. 9 Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; Hebrews 13:8,9 The Christian Judeo TRUTH from God s Holy Word (NASB Version): OLD TESTAMENT Genesis 19:5-8 5 and they called to Lot and said to him, a Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may 1 have relations with them. 6 But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7 and said, Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8 Now behold, a I have two daughters who have not 1 had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them 2 whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the 3 shelter of my roof. 19 a Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death. Exodus 22:19 22 a You shall not lie with a male as 1 one lies with a female; it is an abomination. Leviticus 18:22 23 a Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to 1 mate with it; it is a perversion. Leviticus 18:23 13 a If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. Leviticus 20:13 15 a If there is a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal. Leviticus 20:15

3 16 If there is a woman who approaches any animal to 1 mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. Leviticus 20:16 17 a None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, b nor shall any of the sons of Israel be a cult prostitute. Deuteronomy 23:17 21 a Cursed is he who lies with any animal. And all the people shall say, Amen. Deuteronomy 27:21 22 While they were 1 making merry, behold, a the men of the city, certain 2 b worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have 3 relations with him. Judges 19:22 24 And there were also a male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel. 1 Kings 14:24 12 a He also put away the male cult prostitutes from the land, and b removed all the idols which his fathers had made. 1 Kings 15:12 46 And the remnant of a the sodomites who remained in the days of his father Asa, he 1 expelled from the land. 1 Kings 22:46 7 He also broke down the houses of the a male cult prostitutes which were in the house of the Lord, where b the women were weaving 1 hangings for the Asherah. 2 Kings 23:7 Proverbs 5 warns about adultery and the wife as a woman only; 15 Drink water from your own cistern, And fresh water from your own well. 16 Should your springs be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? 17 Let them be yours alone, And not for strangers with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. 20 For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner? 21 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths. 22 His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin. 23 He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray. NEW TESTAMENT IS A REVELATION OF OLD TESTAMENT: THE GOOD NEWS : ROMANS Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

4 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. Romans 1:22 thru 28 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (HOPE FOR ALL SINNERS) 9 realizing the fact that a law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and b rebellious, for the c ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and d profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 1 and 2 a immoral men 1 and b homosexuals 1 and c kidnappers 1 and d liars 1 and e perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to f sound teaching, 1 Timothy 1: Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. 7 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. 8 Yet in the same manner these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties. Jude 5-8 No Longer Even Mental Disorder Trustees of the American Psychiatric Association have ruled that homosexuality would no longer be considered a mental disorder in the association s official manual. The landmark decision, passed by unanimous vote of the 19-member board. Good News For All: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 that whoever believes may in Him have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be

5 saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. JOHN 3:14-18 Warnings 18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. 20 He who testifies to these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Rev 25:18-20 SODOMY What Jesus said about Sodom and Gomorrah 14 And whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. Matthew 10:15 Matt. 11:24; 2 Pet. 2:6; Jude 7 20 Then He began to reproach the cities in which most of His a miracles were done, because they did not repent. 21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 Nevertheless I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You shall b descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. 24 Nevertheless I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You shall descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. Matthew 11:23 24 Nevertheless I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. Matthew 11:24 12 I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Luke 10:12 same as Matt10 29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Luke 17:29 WARNING: to all who corrupt and cause a child harm and to stumble in any way: 1 New American Standard Bible (electronic edition.) (Mt 10:14). La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation. 2 New American Standard Bible (electronic edition.) (Mt 11:20 24). La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation.

6 Jesus said, but whoever causes one of these little ones (children) who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! Matt 18:6,7 Second Coming Foretold 22 And He said to the disciples, The days shall come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, Look there! Look here! Do not go away, and do not run after them. 24 For just as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it shall be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; 29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let not the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house go down to take them away; and likewise let not the one who is in the field turn back. 32 Remember Lot s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to keep his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life shall preserve it. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left. 35 There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken, and the other will be left. 36 [ a Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left. ] 37 And answering they *said to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Where the body is, there also will the vultures be gathered. 3 New Testament 29 And just as Isaiah foretold, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left to us a posterity, We would have become as Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah. Romans 9:29 6 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly thereafter; 2 Peter 2:6 7 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. Jude 7 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:8 FALSE GOSPEL Perversion of the Gospel 3 New American Standard Bible (electronic edition.) (Lk 17:21 37). La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation.

7 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed (gk: anathema). 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed (gk: anathema). 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. Gal 1: Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed ; and no one can say, Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:3 You can find more information about this subject and what the American Pediatrics Association has made available as well as the CDC at: Under the Christian Material Tab ######
