IT IS SIN NOT AN ACT OF NATURE   LEVITICUS 20 :10-21 (NLT)   10 “If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the man and the woman who have committed adultery must be put to death.    11 “If a man violates his father by having sex with one of his father’s wives, both the man and the woman must be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.    12 “If a man has sex with his daughter-in-law, both must be put to death. They have committed a perverse act and are guilty of a capital offense.    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.    14 “If a man marries both a woman and her mother, he has committed a wicked act. The man and both women must be burned to death to wipe out such wickedness from among you.    15 “If a man has sex with an animal, he must be put to death, and the animal must be killed.    16 “If a woman presents herself to a male animal to have intercourse with it, she and the animal must both be put to death. You must kill both, for they are guilty of a capital offense.    17 “If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his father or his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a shameful disgrace. They must be publicly cut off from the community. Since the man has violated his sister, he will be punished for his sin.    18 “If a man has sexual relations with a woman during her menstrual period, both of them must be cut off from the community, for together they have exposed the source of her blood flow.    19 “Do not have sexual relations with your aunt, whether your mother’s sister or your father’s sister. This would dishonor a close relative. Both parties are guilty and will be punished for their sin.    20 “If a man has sex with his uncle’s wife, he has violated his uncle. Both the man and woman will be punished for their sin, and they will die childless.    21 “If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has violated his brother, and the guilty couple will remain childless. LET ME SAY THIS THAT GOD DOES NOT HATE THE PERSON THAT HAS SINNED BUT HE HATES THE  SIN ITSELF  How many times have we heard it said by someone who is having a relationship with the person of the same sex "I cannot help it this is the way God made me." That is a lie from the pit of hell and originated by satan himself to destroy people. It is not an act of God it is a SIN, there is nothing else to call it. The sexual sins of this world have been justified in every way possible. There was a song years ago by a country artist that said I don't want to have to marry you I want our love to be free the way God meant love to be, But you show me anywhere in the bible where it says it is ok to have a relationship (sexually) between a man and woman if they are not married, it is called adultry plain and simple and according to God's word it is a penalty of death. Let’s don’t  say this just because it is in the old testament does not mean it does not apply today God never changes his mind or his word.  Sin that was sin in Moses and Abraham's time is still sin today.  Satan would like nothing better than to bring down and destroy everyone he can. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because you have been saved that you live the way you want to and everything will be ok, if that where the case we would not need an advocate with the Father.  Jesus is that advocate if we sin we need to ask forgiveness and if our heart is sincere God will forgive us and then we must forgive ourselves.  I know this is not popular preaching but this is what God has laid on my heart. I will close with two thoughts God hates sin (it is a stench in his nostrils) but he loves the sinner. in 2 Peter 3:9 it says 9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. THERE IS A HEAVEN TO GAIN AND A HELL TO SHUN. Let me make it clear that we should not shun anyone in sin but love them as God does for you the only thing God hates is sin not the sinner. In the old testament people guilty of sexual sins where put to death. Whether it be sin of a sexual nature or any other nature the result will be the same the wages of sin is death.  Please do not let satan tell you that because you got saved  years ago that it is ok to indulge in the world’s pleasures, God said HOLINESS is my standard for living and that is what he meant.  Not to the left or right but straight down the middle.    Father as we come to you once again we are grateful that we can approach your throne of grace, may we always have the wisdom to know the tricks and deeds of the enemy and give us the strength to stand against them. In Jesus name I pray, Amen May God Bless You
