Sin is Sin

Leviticus 20
13 “If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.”


I know that folks want to try to twist Scriptures to make them say what they want them to say, and I know that keeping things in the proper cultural context are also crucial. However, what is fuzzy or culturally confusing about this verse? Nothing. Yes, there are other passages from Leviticus 20 that are absolutely unique to the culture of that day and time, but homosexuality is NOT one of them. Since God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then it is only logical that He feels the same about homosexual behavior in 2009, than He did when Moses penned these words in Leviticus. Love the sinner, hate the sin. I pray that those caught up in the sin of homosexuality will repent and turn towards God. I pray that all of us sinners will repent and turn towards God. I am so glad that God forgives the sins of a repentant sinner!
