Homosexuality

No doubt, a lot of people would say yes to the above question.

After all, it is referred to as an abomination in the Bible.

( Leviticus 18:22 ) However, there are lots of other things that are also listed as an abomination to the God who created this earth and mankind. Eating certain foods, a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness, one who sows discord among brethren, a false scale or balance, charging interest, and oppressing the poor and needy are some of the things listed as an abomination to the great Creator God.

So on the one hand, ANY SIN, whether listed as an abomination or not, no matter how small or big, if not repented of and covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, will get you the death penalty of the second death. So in that sense, ALL SINS are equal. BUT, if the question is, "Are there different CONSEQUENCES for different sins in this life?", then the answer would have to be YES! The consequences for shoplifting are not the same as armed robbery. Some of the consequences of homosexual behavior are quite serious, such as a much higher risk of disease, higher rates of suicide, and much shorter life spans.

Now some people may say, "What about the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that God destroyed?" Wasn't that because of homosexuality being a worse sin? Well, not exactly. The reasons God destroyed those two cities are found in Ezekiel 16:49-50. They are listed as: pride, fullness of food, abundance of idleness, and neither did they strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. Then verse 50 says, "And they were haughty and committed abominations before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit." Did you notice that a lot of the things listed are some of the same things listed above that are considered abominations? You can’t help but notice that the things listed in Ezekiel don’t seem to be that bad in themselves. They had a lot of food and an abundance of idleness. Sounds a lot like the United States of America today!

However, it started with pride. Pride says, "I don’t need you, God, I can get along fine without you." Pride says, "Look what I HAVE DONE." Perhaps the beginning of all sin is pride. These people had FORGOTTEN GOD and when that happens you start down a road that leads to all sins being accepted and practiced. The OPEN ACCEPTANCE of homosexual practice is usually one of the last sins to be done, which means that if you find a society that does accept and practice homosexuality, you can be sure that just about EVERY OTHER SIN HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AND IS BEING DONE! So it wasn’t just because of homosexuality, or that homosexuality is a worse sin, that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. It was because of ALL THEIR SINS, which included homosexuality, the last sin to be accepted.
