A Stand Against the Gay Life-Style and the Reasons Why!

Suggested by: RLC

It is very surprising to hear in the news recently that a religious group has legitimized the gay life-style in their church by appointing an individual openingly practicing that life-style to a high leadership position. It is surprising because the Bible is considered the Word of GOD for any Christian church. Yet this church is proposing the blatant disregard of what they consider the Word of GOD. Why does the Bible state that the gay life-style is an abomination (additionally Leviticus 18:22 as well as other Bible verses)? The answer may seem to be somewhat long, but please bear with me.

Writings on this web site have stressed over and over that the Bible's purpose is not to give us a set of rules that we follow ignorantly. Instead its purpose is to give us the reasons for such rules by teaching us what we need to know to understand the purpose they support (their intent). GOD did not create Man to be a computer that obeys a set of instructions that run when called to do so. For this reason, everyone should understand why the gay life-style is worthless to any society.

The heart of Man contains what we love. To love we must give something value for a particular purpose; then we give what we value life through us. To love anything we must recognize qualities it has that make it capable of serving the purpose we desire. We then learn how to utilize what we value in accomplishing our desired purpose. Once this is accomplished, we begin expressing the qualities we love in life situations to accomplish (manifest in the physical reality) the purpose we desire. If the purpose we desire is all or in part GOD's purpose, then this process is called spiritual growth--receiving the gift of eternal life.

Now it should not be too difficult to see that it is the relationship between the masculine and feminine aspects (see the aspects of an individual) with in us that produce the spiritual growth. Without both aspects, there is no soul! The feminine aspect desires a new purpose. The masculine aspect understands the laws that govern relationships in the physical reality. The masculine aspect begins creating the relationship in the physical reality that will satisfy the feminine aspect's desire. When the relationship is complete, the feminine aspect determines whether or not the relationship does in fact satisfy the desire. If so, the spiritual Seventh Day is reached, and the love for the relationship becomes a part of our heart. Essentially, a new life-style has been conceived. This life-style can now mature until capable of contributing in higher spiritual relationships used to form even higher relationships--producing the spiritual growth and filling our heart with eternal life. All living relationships must express both the male and feminine aspects to be of any value in a higher relationship.

It is important to realize that this physical reality (manifestation) is determined by and representative of spiritual relationships. The spiritual relationships are of a different nature than the physical relationships, though. Consider the numbers on a piece of paper used to solve a complicated mathematical problem. The relationships of those numbers represent understandings that the individual manifesting them loves to some degree. Essentially; it took many seven step spiritual growth cycles to develop the understanding necessary to solve the problem. All manifestation represents a corresponding spiritual activity (expression), which is manifested as a life-style (see below) in the physical reality.

Life-styles: Our heart contains many "life-styles"--the way our Spirit manifests the desires of our heart. Two people can attempt to accomplish the same purpose in different ways; therefore, they each have different life-styles for that particular kind of purpose. The maturity of any life-style is determined by the level of purpose we can manifest (or the level of sophistication and strength of the resulting relationship). The purposes we desire reveal our "life-styles" as we work toward manifesting the desired purposes in the way determined by our particular life-style. Ideally, each life-style will contribute to a higher physical relationship in positive and relationship strengthening ways. In this way we have families, churches, states, countries, and the world--each capable of forming a higher unity. There are individual life-styles that strengthen the higher relationships, and there are those that weaken, or take away from, the same relationships. Each individual should desire with all their heart the highest relationship possible and work within any smaller relationships in a way to strengthen the highest relationship possible, of which the smaller relationships are a part.

In the Bible, the highest spiritual relationship possible for the created reality is Christ the Omega--GOD's Purpose; and Man in unity is Christ's body. If many individuals work together toward a common purpose of producing automobiles in the physical reality, their spiritual life becomes the spiritual body of the automobile company; and the company is manifested as any living entity can be. Even in this case, there are masculine and feminine aspects at work that make the company a living entity to all external living relationships. In the same way Man in unity can pursue the purposes of Christ in the correct way--becoming the body of Christ. Now if we, as individuals, are working to satisfy the good needs of society through our job or other types of relationships in the correct way (life-style), aren't we also contributing to the unity of Man and, therefore, the body of Christ. Consider Jesus's statements about those who take small responsibilities seriously being given much greater responsibility after Judgement Day (Matt 25). Consider how Daniel worked in a corrupt nation in good ways and grew spiritually while surrounded by evil.

Will GOD accept less than perfection? Why should HE? HE has a billion billions of years to accomplish perfection if necessary. Is HE going to give Christ an imperfect body? I am certain HE won't. Whether HE accomplishes this through rebirth after rebirth, or some other way, it really doesn't matter. Perfection will be the final result!! Therefore, it is very important for us to desire purposes that contribute to the long-term unity of Man and express the life-styles that serve that body accordingly.

All that is good contributes in ways to produce growth and strengthening of the relationship. Smaller relationships have the ability to contribute to higher relationships, and etc. One necessary factor in the strength of any living relationship is the ability to reproduce the smallest relationship forming the foundation of the higher relationship as needed (i.e. the family). For us that is a man and woman producing children. Our body parts also have ways of serving the highest relationship possible, and to knowingly use them for purposes other than the highest purpose for which they were created is definitely a sin. This sin weakens our society; and as any society accepts (legitimizes) the resulting life-style that society will grow weaker and weaker.

The masculine and feminine spiritual aspects within each of us are only suppose to have one child--that part of Christ we were created to be. There are many life-styles we should express though to be that person. Each of these life-styles begin small (are born) and then develop as we grow in the abilities we were created to have. In a sense, each of these life-styles are like physical children in that each must be carefully nurtured to fully develop. This spiritual view of an individual is mirrored by the family structure in the physical reality. Consider this concept carefully because it is the reality of the way of GOD's Creation. To consider any other form of family structure is truly an abomination because it eats away at the very foundation of a healthy society.

The claim that individuals are born to manifest certain aberrant life-styles is ridiculous. A child molester has a preferred life-style also. Is he/she born that way? No, he became what he is through incorrect choices just as we all do when we desire purposes that result in life-styles that detract from eternal purposes. All of us do have relationship weakening life-styles; but, hopefully, only through ignorance rather than rebellion. If ignorance, then GOD will eventually reveal the truth to us, and that life-style will become worthless to us.

We only have two choices in life--contribute to the body of Christ or the body of Satan (all life that is not of Christ). The Bible clearly tells us that the body of Satan will eventually be destroyed. For now, it is necessary for that spiritual body to live so that the wheat may not be destroyed along with the tares (if you destroy the individual or group of individuals because of a recognized evil life-style, you destroy the good life-styles in them as well). In the end, the separation will be made and the tares will be destroyed while the wheat is saved. When we recognize that we do have false life-styles in our heart as well as good life-styles, the truth in this parable becomes apparent. Since we will eventually lose any worthless life-styles, it is important that they not be the center of who we believe we are. If they are that important, we will die when they are destroyed--i.e. all will be taken away from him who has little (parable of the talents and etc.).

The highest purpose for body parts used to initiate the reproductive process is very apparent. Therefore, using those body parts improperly in relationships for a similar purpose is nothing more than rebellion against GOD. It matters not that the same individual has many beneficial life-styles as well as the gay life-style. This in no way justifies the gay life-style--legitimizing it. All detrimental life-styles must stand on their own and be condemned without mercy along with any individual or organization that promotes that the life-style has any value at all. The gay life-style has no value in any society and is totally worthless in the body of Christ!! Neither is there a race of individuals called "gay" in the same sense as we might call a black or white individual of the black or white race; it is only one of many possible life-styles that contribute to the body of Satan. Such statements are nothing more than Satan attempting to "masquerade as an angel of light". With a hope for repentance, may any individual or organization that works in anyway (actively or through inaction) to legitimize this worthless life-style receive some serious consequences in this life, by the direct intervention of GOD, before they definitely receive the final consequence in the next.

Individuals believing they are currently prone to practice the gay life-style should live in the same way as all unmarried individuals should live--in total abstinence of intimate relationships until they grow spiritually and are capable of forming a properly legitimized (by GOD) male-female family unit that is the foundation of any strong society.
