If denominational leaders don’t follow the Bible’s directives against homosexuality, what is the next sin its devotees want legalized, protected and accepted? Take your pick of the lists in Mark 7:20-23, Romans 1:29-32, I Corinthians 5:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21, Colossians 3:5-10 and Titus 3:3, 9-11—and they don’t exhaust the behaviors God will not tolerate in his people.
However, everyone committed to them without repentance don’t want to hear them proscribed. So where will the three denominations listed draw a line not to be crossed by their members on the threat of punishment from God? Rest assured, friends, God condemns all sin whenever practiced without repentance. As he forgives all sin admitted by his people when repented. But to sin and call it virtue simply because we insist it IS, piles one sin on another in our lives. Church leaders must take their choice: either lose their soul as well as their service by letting people, not God, determine what’s acceptable behavior; OR, please God by remaining faithful to Bible teaching, however much their members object! One fact is certain: the Church, and its Christians, alone exist in society as the organism authorized and deputized to both KNOW and FAITHFULLY preach Christ’s everlasting Gospel. And…unless we remain faithful to that purpose, we have abandoned our reason to exist. For as merely a social group, we have nothing to offer society that other organizations don’t already, and do a better job of it. The stark reality facing church leaders: either be faithful to God’s WORD, or lack the reason for our existence, leaving humanity without a Standard of truth and behavior, with each person his own deity. Be assured, that’s the condition God drowned in water Genesis 6-7. Do we want him next to incinerate us? II Peter 3:10. Fini
