Trying to Live Wholly Holy

a controversial piece of information, so pass by if you want.

So the deal with things in the Bible and people today, they want to find what they want to know.  I’m sure you can argue almost any case and get to the conclusion you want.  Some of the conclusions may not be firm doctrine.  Some may be hard to refute.  As in the case of homosexuality, I find that most people see what they want.  Sometimes the points of pro-gay seem hard to prove wrong. Sometimes the points fall apart easily.  Well I’m here to give my own opinion of why I believe it’s against God’s will to be homosexual.  As a lot of you know, I have struggled with homosexuality (and still do, to a degree).  I have looked up the passages in the Bible that can, even remotely, reference homosexuality.  I wanted, so badly, for homosexuality to be okay.  I wanted it to not be immoral.  I just didn’t want it to be a sin.  That would make my life so much easier if I could just prove that it was not wrong.  I looked and looked and at some points of my search, I found that I could be gay and not suffer eternal condemnation.  But soon after each time I decided that, I was pulled back to the fact (or opinion, your choice) that it’s sin.  So earlier, I said that people usually see what they want to see.  This time, I could not.  I wholeheartedly wanted homosexuality to be fine. But something just kept telling me, “No matter how much you try to make it okay, it isn’t.” So I stopped trying to find evidence that being gay is acceptable in the eyes of God.  When I try to manipulate the Word of God to make it be what I want it to be, I’ve got some soul searching to do.  And if I could not accept the fact that it was sinful, then I should just stop attending church, stop praying, stop having anything to do with God. He told me time and time again to stop trying to make His Word into what I wanted.  It took me a while to listen, but I understand.
