Your Question and Comment(s): I'd like your opinion on whether or not it is a sin to be gay. Of course rape, molestation, adultery, etc., is wrong, but is it wrong to be in a loving relationship? Straight preachers say it is and gay preachers say it's not. Thanks.

My Response(s): I want to thank you for visiting my web site, and submitting your question and comments. I pray that God the Holy Father in heaven will bless you in understanding His holy word. Let me say, it appears that you have concluded that all "straight preachers" will preach against homosexual behavior and all "gay preachers" will preach for homosexual behavior. While this may be true, the problem with this kind of thinking is that it will hinder you in finding and accepting the truth of God’s word. For it appears you have already decided in your mind that whatever answer a person give to you its base on "their own opinion" and not from rightly dividing the word of truth, the word of God (2 Timothy 2:15). Yes, the Holy Spirit warns us to not be wise in our own opinion (Romans 12:16).

Having received the so-called opinions of others, you ask for my "opinion" also, as if what I say to you would "only" be my opinion and nothing more. Well, as a minister of Christ Jesus, I am not free to give you my own opinion on whether or not being a practicing homosexual is a sin. I can only give you what the word of God says concerning the practice of sexual relations with members of one’s own sex, homosexuality. And you, yourself must either accept the word of God or deny it or try to justify your on sins by it. Nor can I enter into this endless debate over spiritual things, which are clearly known and the word of God is very clear on this matter. I mean there are some things that are debatable, which is a left to your faith (Romans 14), but the sin of practicing homosexuality is not one of them.

Now, I find it to be curious that you would mention the sins of "rape, molestation, adultery" as being wrong when your question is about the sin of homosexuality. I mean, are you comparing these sins with homosexuality? Are you saying that if a person commits these sins then they have no right to condemned homosexuality? For comparing your sins with those of others is not wise. The question here is not if someone else sins then you, yourself have a right to sin also. The question is, is practicing homosexuality a sin? All sexual immorality is a sin. The answer to this question is not my opinion, but it is the word of God, and the answer to your question is the practice of homosexuality is sin.

Yes, there are many that will not accept God’s word on homosexuality because they seek to justify and continue their own sinful behavior. Even their spirit tells them it is wrong, yet, they still resist this knowledge because they "feel" what they do must be right because of "love", or is it lust.

Therefore, I exhort you to answer your own question. For the Holy Spirit has clearly answered this question, if indeed you have the Spirit of Christ living in you then you should be able to answer your own question. Judge for yourself. In the near future, I will upload an article on this subject of homosexuality.

But for now, below are Holy Scriptures that clearly shows practicing homosexuality is a sin:

First, we go to Leviticus 18:22 which, says, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination" (NKJV). Yes, the Holy Scriptures tells us that sex with a member of your own sex is an abominable sin before the Holy Father in heaven. There is no debate as to what "lie with" mean, for the Holy Spirit gives the answer to this in the same verse.

Now, even in the so-called "true Bible", which the so-called "mainstream religious" community believe is the only so-called "true Bible". The King James Version (KJV) says the same thing in Leviticus 18:22 (KJV)… "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination". I mean, do you not believe the Holy Spirit in this verse in the Scriptures?

In Leviticus 20:13 (NKJV) the Holy Spirit says, "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them". Here again, the Holy Scriptures is very clear on this matter nothing here is left for debate. It is not left to any man’s opinion about this matter.

Yes and all professing Christians must agree that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of its sin of homosexuality, hence the name "sodomite" is derived. Again, I say unless the god of this evil and adulterous world, the evil one has deceived you. Homosexuality is sodomy. For in Jude 1:7 (NLT) it is said, "don't forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil". See also Genesis 19:4-9, for here it is clearly said the men of Sodom wanted to have sexual relations with the angels who had visited them in the town in the form of men.

Again, I say examine the word of God in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) it is also said, "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God". The Holy Spirit is again very clear here saying, "nor homosexuals, nor sodomites" will "inherit the kingdom of God". There is nothing doubtful about these words.

Let us not so quickly forget the New Covenant saying of the Holy Spirit in 1 Timothy 1:9-11 (NKJV). For in these verses it is said that "knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. Yes, if this word of the gospel is veiled to you then you must resist the desires of your own flesh (2 Corinthians 4:2-5).

Finally, I ask this question in response to your question asking, "is it wrong to be in a loving relationship?" Is it wrong when two people who are not married commit adultery but they are in a "loving relationship" with each other? Or is raping someone or committing child molestation right when the person committing such acts believe they are in a "loving relationship" with the person? In your answer you will find the answer to your own question. For the fact that someone claims to "love" the person they are committing sin with do not nullify the sin. Else all sinners could declare their love for any person or animal because of their "loving relationship". For they hope to avoid the judgment of God, because their own human spirit knows that "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Hebrews 10:31 NKJV).

Therefore, you should fear God, in this you will gain understanding of His holy word. Resist all desires to act upon your sinful nature, for is a shameful thing to even speak of such things as being right because of your feelings of this so-called "loving relationship" (Romans 1:26-28). Yes, the Spirit says for us to resist all forms of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). I exhort you to meditate on these things, which I have said to you for they are spiritual things, and God is faithful He will grant you understanding. Amen. Praise God.

In Christ love,

Ron Davis, minister of Christ
