Gay & Christian?

first the bad news- Romans ch 1, 1 Corinthians ch 6 and Jude (Jesus' Brother) read them - please;

By Thomas Brooks 1669
One Sin allowed, wallowed and tumbled in!

To Turn from some sins - but not from all, is gross hypocrisy!
One sin stripped the Fallen Angels of all their glory!
One sin stripped our First Parents of all their dignity and excellency!
One Fly in the box of precious ointment, spoils the whole box.
One Thief may rob a man of all his treasures.
One Disease may deprive a man of all his health.
One strong Tornado may blow down and blow away all a man's comforts.
Just so - one Sin delighted and wallowed in, will make a man miserable forever!

One sin allowed, wallowed and tumbled in, is all sufficient to deprive a man forever of the glorious presence of God! In the Law, the person who had but one spot of leprosy in any part of his body was accounted a leper, although the rest of his body was sound and whole; and accordingly he was to be shut up, and shut out from the society of the people of God, Leviticus 13. Just so - one sin, one leprous spot, allowed and beloved - will forever shut a man out from the glorious presence of God!

One sin wallowed in, will as certainly deprive a man of the blessed vision of God, and of all the treasures, pleasures, and delights which are at God's right hand - as a thousand sins! What can be the outcome of this, but ruin and damnation?

It was a sore vexation to King Lysimachus, that he lost his earthly kingdom for one drink of water. O Sirs! it will be an everlasting vexation to such, who for one lust shall at last lose not an earthly kingdom - but a heavenly kingdom!


finally the good news -  Are you a Sinner? Christ died for Sinners; Believe on Him for Justification: 
Romans 5:6 & 8-10 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. 

I Corinthians 6: 9- 11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,  nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
