Introduction
____________________________
We know to date 2015 there are two beliefs that say yes we can be same-sex attracted married and receive eternal life and no we cannot be same-sex attracted married and inherit eternal life.
After walking with Jesus and His Word for the last 20 years, I know this, after 18 years of being a homosexual is was not as cut and dry as saying “Jesus forgive me for being a lesbian.”
Having sought His Truth about same-sex attraction, my desires did not leave me overnight. Yet the One working “all things according to the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:1) has brought me through all my weaknesses and all my attractions.
Homosexuality and transsexualism is complex, so very complex that a Loving and Understanding God would not cast us out into outer darkness for being attracted to the same sex because His Word declares “thou shall not lie with a man as with a woman.” (Leviticus 18:22)
So what I want to say, I write in this brief booklet that I believe to be truth and truth of the Bible to bring you rest and hope in your attractions. I trust the contents will bring the knowledge of His Truth, His Great Love and Understanding of your same sex attraction, homosexuality, or transgenderism.
I want to encourage you to read this book from beginning to end for you will have The Counsel of The Spirit of Christ Jesus.
I pray you will continue to walk on and run with perseverance the race set before you, the one that is marked out for us (Hebrews 12:1).
I pray you will grow in relationship with Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as you yield your nature and receive the anointing to fight the devices of the kingdoms of darkness and views of this age. So that you may inherit eternal life with Christ Jesus in His Kingdom now and in the age to come (Mathew 7:21-23, 25:31-35; John 3:3; Revelation 5:10).
Chapter 1
____________________________________
Firstly let's establish the Biblical truth there is an existence of spiritual kingdoms of darkness that influence our lives, the world we live in, and the churches attended. 1. http://prophet-tv.dyndns.tv/books/debo/THE_WATER_SPIRIT_KINGDOM.htm
This is clearly written in scripture (Matthew 4:8-9) as those who do not follow Christ Jesus are “under the course of this world” (Ephesians 2:2) “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) “the dominion of Satan”(Acts 26:18) “a domain of darkness” (Colossians 1:13).
The angels that went with this now Ruler of this world were cast out of heaven and these have established principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness in high places and rulers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12; Revelation 12:4-9; Ezekiel 28:12-18).
Now we understand the devil is “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31). He is called the devil or Satan who deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9), and who is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4).
When we are born again, we are considered children of God (John 1:12-13) children of light, no longer to be under the dominion of darkness (1Thessalians 5:5). We read in scripture “what fellowship does light have with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Therefore, we are not to be in fellowship or agreement with the kingdoms of darkness.
Secondly, let's establish the truth that sin gives the kingdoms of darkness access into our lives being either Christians or non-Christians (1 John 3:7-9). With this comes curses of God to the children of disobedience (2 Peter 2:14) because of sin. What is sin? It is the transgression of the laws of God (1 John 3:4).
The Word writes that spirits of darkness work in the sons of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2) and wrath of God comes on children of disobedience (Colossians 3:6; Ephesians 5:6). Recall that no one gets the title of child of God unless he or she believes, receives and baptised in Christ Jesus being sealed with The Holy Spirit (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:13).
This is why we who name the name of Christ Jesus as our Lord are called to depart from all unrighteousness (2 Timothy 2:19-21). That means depart from all lawlessness or in other words from disobedience to the laws in The Word of God.
Grace is there if we transgress we can repent, confess our sins and He is just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness of curses and spirits attached (1 John 1:9; Revelation 3:19).
Thirdly, let's establish the truth that Christ did not come to annul the laws of the Old Testament unless He fulfilled them (Matthew 5:17-19, 22:40; 1 John 3:4). Christ came to ratify the Old Covenant to bring many laws into the New Covenant; a better Covenant (Hebrews 8:10; Ephesians 6:1-3; Romans 7:12; Romans 3:31). “Do we than make void the old Covenant through faith? God forbid: Yea we establish the Old Covenant.” 2. [cited in Crews, 2015]
Without laws, there is no transgression (Romans 4:15). Therefore this is why sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4) This is why, the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he or she lives ( Romans 7:1) and for through law is the full knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20).
So it now can be said that disobedience makes our actions lawlessness (Matthew 7:23). The breaking of any unfilled law from Old or New Testament brings consequences of our actions (2 Corinthians 10:6; Ephesians 5:3-6; 1 Corinthians 11:31-32) for delighting in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18).
No one can serve two masters either he will hate the one and love the other or he will be devoted to one and despise the other (Matthew 6:24). We cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons (1 Corinthians 10:21). “Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one to whom you obey? (Romans 6:16)
“Little children, make sure no one deceives you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous: 8. The one who practices sin is of the devil: for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9. No one who is born of God practices sin because His seed abides in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:8-9)
Chapter 2
____________________________________
The following statements are Biblical Truth:
Outside of our relationship to Jesus Christ we were led around by “the prince of the power of the air” (2 Corinthians 4:4) and the lust of our flesh (Romans 1:26; 1 John 2:16; Galatians 5:19-21).
Therefore, the “god of this age had blinded our minds” (2 Corinthians 4:4) to continue in our homosexual practices of fornication crossdressing and sins alike as sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8-9).
The Holy Spirit brought faith into our hearts to believe in Christ and to seek and search out the truth of our attractions; this is what you are doing now by reading this booklet. We know that all truth can be established by using The Word of God, The Bible (Romans 10:17).
When we came to Christ with our same-sex attraction and or our desires to cross dress and or be the opposite sex, we were technically born again but not fully born again. As we had not entered into the outworking of our salvation, the sanctifying of our body and soul (2 Peter 1:5-11; 1 Thesssalionans 5:23-24; John 17:17) that we actually be truly born again to secure our eternal salvation.
Truth is we become “born of The Spirit” but our birth comes by “The Incorruptible Word of God” (1 Peter 1:22-23). We are “saved by The Spirit” but the salvation comes through The Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-2). The Holy Spirit cleanses the heart yet He does this by The Word (John 15:3; John 17:17).
The Spirit of God purifies us, and this is done by “obedience to the truth” (1 Peter 1:21). He also sanctifies us, and sanctification comes by acceptance of the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13), The Word of God (John 17:17).
We are led by The Spirit of Christ Jesus, and the leading comes through God’s Word (Psalms 119:105). We walk by The Spirit of Christ Jesus when we obey The Spirits teachings (Philippians 3:16).
It is the truth to say that God does not have a plan of salvation for one person and a different plan for another person. There is not one for homosexuals and one for ex-homosexuals. His method of salvation is for both Greek and Jew, slave or bond (Galatians 3:27-29). All must obey the same plan of salvation as written in The Word as God is no respecter of persons. The Word is The Final Authority.
No one is saved unless he or she hears (Romans 10:14-15) and believes (Hebrews 11:6). Repentance is necessary (Luke 13:13; Acts 2:38) so is confession (Acts 8:37). Truth is, when it comes to conversion we must all believe and be baptized (Mark 16:16) immersed in water (Romans 6:1-5) to wash our sins away (Acts 22:16) to begin the new life in Christ (Romans 6:4).
From the time of Acts 2 all persons who believe and receive Him are to follow His plan of salvation and work out their salvation (Philippians 2:12).
Because we have been rescued from this evil age, and the domain of darkness and sin (Galatians 1:4; Colossians 1:13; Romans 6:18) as we have redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sin (Ephesians 1:17). We have all partaken of the bread of life (John 6:35) and drink the same everlasting water (John 4:13) being part of the one true vine (John 15:1) and are parts of His body (1 Corinthians 12:12-13).
He is able to complete in us the work He began (Philippians 1:6) when He set us apart for good works (Ephesians 2:10), for sanctification (John 17:17; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 2 Peter 1:2-4) and to be made in the image of Jesus Christ His Son (Romans 8:29).
Now having the power within to remain dead to sin but alive unto Christ (Romans 6:10-12) we are able to ask for His Counsel and Ability and Power to bring all residual sin structures and strongholds from our past and present to death (Romans 8:13) as we are alive in Christ (Romans 6:11; Colossians 2:13; Ephesians 2:5).
We are commanded by various laws to become truly born again. Also to be made holy by the washing of the water of The Word that He might present to Himself us, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing that we be holy and blameless (Ephesians 5:26) on the day of our appearing before Him.
Chapter 3
____________________________________
It is the truth to say if we do not follow His plan of salvation as His Word is Truth we do not have real salvation.
Jesus warned us there are many ways of salvation and many other Christ’s who will come using His Name and or another anointing saying follow me this is the way walk in it (Matthew 24:5, 11, 24; 1 Timothy 4:1).
There are many false ways written as doctrine and by denominations that claim the way of salvation and eternal life.
Truth can be found that we are not saved just because we prayed a sinner’s prayer, or by confessing and believing Jesus is real, or by taking Jesus into our hearts.
This is not according to the overall truth of His Word and especially if we do not follow in the Spirit of The Word and or The Spirits teachings (1 Corinthians 12:13), His specific plan for eternal salvation that our name be not blotted out (Revelation 3:5).
As Jesus said, “every plant my heavenly Father planted not shall be rooted up” (Matthew 15:13). Therefore, if you obey a different gospel, you will not be saved (Galatians 1:8-9, Matthew 7:21).
This is confirmed where we read a sign and a wonder or a miracle in His Name does not give witness that the spirit behind such things is Christ Jesus’s Spirit (Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
Jesus said He was not associated with those who drank a different spirit and who taught a different gospel (2 Corinthians 11:4) or who did signs and wonders and cast out devils (Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 13:27).
He tells us in 1 Timothy 4:1 that there are doctrines of devils not of The One Spirit we are to drink (1 Corinthians 12:13). “Many will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own liking, and will turn away from listening to the truth...” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Truth is He will not accept another gospel, another path of salvation other than what has to be sought out and found written within the Truth, the Word and given by The Spirit of Christ Jesus. For we that worship Him are to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24).
The Word is our instruction manual on how to worship Him. How to serve Him, how to be holy, how to be purified and sanctified. How to follow Him, how to obey Him and how to know Him. And how to be dead to sin, how to overcome the world, the flesh and the devil and remain alive in Christ.
The instruction manual will answer any question and we are expected to have a love of This Instruction Manual that we do not become deceived, that we are not handed over to any delusion any false way of salvation (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11).
“Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:14). Five wise virgins and five foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-2). Many are called, and few are chosen (Matthew 22:13-14).
“Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.” (2 Peter 1:10).
To be in Christ is to be part of the Body of Christ, part of the Church, who holds fast the teachings of Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 12:12-14). As we have believed, repented we are to be baptized into Him in such a way that it is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me. So that He infuses a new life and a new power to overcome sin, the world and the devil, to know Him and His will and His ways (Ephesians 4:4-5) to follow after Him.
We are to become begotten through the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23) to be in study of the Word (2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2:15), even to test and approve all things by the Spirit and The Word (Romans 12:12; 1 John 2:27). The Spirit and The Word must bear witness (1 John 5:7; Hebrews 4:12-13), NOT inner voices!
There is only one faith (Ephesians 4:5) delivered to the saints (Jude 3) the doctrine that is learned (Romans 16:17) the sound teaching (1 Timothy 1:10) and the good doctrine (1 Timothy 4:6).
When we deviate from Truth it becomes another gospel and can lead to damnation (1 Timothy 1:9-10; Romans 1:26-27; Matthew 7:13-14; John 14:6; Matthew 25:41). These false doctrines have the spirits attached, and one can become seared in the conscious for following deceiving spirits and things taught by demons (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
Truth is we are to follow the way of salvation written in His Word or our salvation is not real (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38, 22:16; Galatians 3:27; 1 Peter 3:20-21).

Chapter 4
____________________________________
Sanctify them by Your Truth, Your Word is Truth” (John 8:31-32). “When The Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all the Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.” (John 16:13).
The laws in the Law shows us what sin is and it is laid down for sinful ones as all sin is lawlessness (1 Timothy 8:1-10). The Word writes the standard, and the knowledge of sin is the law or written laws of His righteous requirements for us to live by in His Kingdom.
“Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”
1 John 3:4
“All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death.” 1 John 5:17
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law,” 1 John 3:4 (KJ)
“What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary; I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET.”
Romans 7:7
“So how do we know what a sin is? We measure it against a written law. Therefore, if I being a man lie with a man as with a woman I am breaking a law that says “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination” To add here both of them have broken this law and broken the first law that joins man and woman together as one flesh.
To understand what the Gospel and the Letters write we need to see how the Old interprets the New and the New interprets the Old and reveal the relationship between that content and its content. The Old Testament interprets the Biblical tradition practiced in the New.
The New will point to the laws in the Old Testament, in particular against practices of homosexuality and sexual immorality – remember 2 Timothy 3:16-17 all scripture is used for righteous instruction Hebrew teach this also.
In the Law, there are various laws against homosexuality and incest and adultery and bestiality but are there any laws written down in the New to say,
“You [masculine] shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”
Leviticus 18:22
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Leviticus 20:13
No, but the New does read, if we are led by the flesh and or are walking in the flesh we are under law made for sinners and all acts of unrighteousness (Romans 7:7; 1 Timothy 1:8-10). The New is pointing to the laws in the Old Testament.
The New is telling us if we are led by the flesh and Galatians 5:19 lists sins of the flesh as adultery, fornication, lustfulness and things alike. These things alike are, homosexual acts and homosexual fornication and the effeminate. Therefore, we will come under laws that will be measured up against our works of the flesh. Our actions have consequence for breach so we will receive “the due penalty” written in Romans 1:24 and Ephesians 2:20 becoming cursed children due to spirits of darkness at work for our disobedience (Ephesians 5:5-6; 2 Peter 2:14; Romans 2:8).
We cannot deny that there are laws that tell us what transgression we have committed whilst being led by our sinful flesh. These laws are carried over and are within this Priesthood this New Blood Covenant.
“But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.” Galatians 5:18
“… the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20. Idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fighting’s, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21. envyings, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21
So of course if you are controlled by The Spirit of Christ Jesus you will not be acting out in fornication or lying with a man as with a woman or vice versa laying with a woman as with a man.
You will have proven Truth, studied to show yourself approved. You will be drinking from the Truth, The One Spirit, not the false teachers and prophets and doctrines of devils having itching ears to suit your lustful self.
“And we know that the Law is good, if anyone uses it lawfully; 9. Knowing this, that law is not laid down for a righteous one but for lawless and unruly ones, for ungodly and sinful ones, for unholy and profane ones, for slayers of fathers and slayers of mothers, for murderers, 10. For fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave traders, for liars, for perjurers, and if any other thing opposes sound teaching. “ 1 Timothy 1:8-10
Recall,
“It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away then a little bit of the law to fail and or lapse.” Luke 16:17
His laws are still operative even though we are in this Covenant dispensation. They are not written in the Gospel’s or the Epistles as they are unfulfilled laws from within the Laws writings and other books of the Old Testament. There is no need to rewrite these particular commands in the New Covenant writings because,
“all Scripture is God breathed is profitable for doctrine and instruction in righteous living.” 2 Timothy 3:16 NASB
As many have stated to understand what the Gospels and letters proclaim, we need to see it against the background of the Old Testament.
Therefore to understand what Paul meant by walk in The Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16), and evident written lusts are idolatry, uncleanness and fornication and things alike such as homosexuality. We need to read the laws in the Old Testament against lust, uncleanness, homosexuality and fornication and sodomy.
Recall what the New Testament, New Covenant writes in Ephesians 5:5-6:
“For be knowing this, that every fornicator, or unclean one, or covetous one, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.” Ephesians 5:5-6
As many writers have said that The Old Testament is not an outdated document, or of no use to us in the Messianic Priesthood Blood Covenant. Because Paul rejected the Old Testament Law as a means of salvation and righteousness, he did not reject the Old Testament as irrelevant but he quoted, referred and applied and taught from it within his teachings. These scriptures were what they used before Paul’s teaching letters had circulated, and they still used the Old Testament, yes every book.
“What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary; I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET.”
Romans 7:7
“We do not nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.” Romans 3:31
“But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, and for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men/women and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,” 1 Timothy 1:8-10” 1. [Sourced from Malligan, 16:2014]
Chapter 5
____________________________________
Now it is established in Chapter 4 (See also appendix 1) that homosexuality is a sin and is a transgression of the law we cannot stay a practicing homosexual. Or cherish or retain the image of darkness and believe we will receive eternal salvation. As in, I am a celibate gay and or lesbian and or transgender Christian.
It is a false doctrine to believe we can be married as a gay man or a lesbian woman or transgender person. Regardless of denomination, doctrine or worldly opinion. His Truth is absolute and can be found as absolute not fact. Truth can be found if you seek, and if you ask you will most assuredly find ‘The Truth’.
Is your salvation real? Yes, but only if you are not an adamant confessing or practicing gay, lesbian, or transgender Christian. If you are confessing, you are a gay, lesbian or transgender Christian you have to want the desire to know the truth and become a Disciple of Him and His Word.
Does He understand where you are at? Absolutely and will give grace, mercy, understanding into your life. His healing and restoration He will bring; therefore all sin structures to death that fortify homosexuality and or your transgenderism. Even if that takes many, many years as it will take years and years.
People can make false claims that practicing Christian gays, lesbians, and transgender persons will inherit eternal life. Yet Jesus does not say this in His overall teachings, Himself being The Word.
Jesus has never had a power problem, neither has He ever said all things were not possible to those who follow as one of His Disciples. Especially in the pursuit of becoming His spiritual king and priest.
The beauty is, you can come to Him as you are, yet you are to be willing to change according to His plan of working out your salvation your sanctification to abide in Him.
Today there is proof that He transforms and can bring to death all sin and change a heart that was same-sex attracted to a heart of a king and a priest.
His Word is an ongoing reminder that Salvation is fought for and no matter who we are we have to pick up a cross and deny ourselves daily to follow after Him to ensure our election is real.
May this booklet bring repentance, forgiveness and the beginning of a walk of restoration healing and transformation? May you come to the place you speak off your former self and start to embrace in His Power and Love to receive the identity in His Word?
May you receive newness of His life and drink from His One Spirit until you know that you know you have received eternal salvation.
Be blessed and be a Blessing.

Scripture will always prove scripture no matter how incorrectly it has been translated, omitted or added to or how smart the Devil is.
1 Timothy 1:10 reads “whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine” and we know “all scripture is profitable for teaching for training in righteous living” as 2 Timothy 3:16 declares pointing back to what is written in the Old Testament as law as probations.
The laws written for homosexual intimacy, in one of the books of the Law Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22, homosexual activity is written as a transgression, for He writes:
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Again in Leviticus 20:13 “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.”
Sexual sins are also in the books of the law for it is written “You shall not commit adultery” Exodus 20:14; and we read Jesus refers to this in Matthew 19:18, Romans 13:9; James 2:11. Sexual activity outside of marriage is forbidden thus considered unlawful, so is prostitution 1 Corinthians 6:15–18, incest Leviticus 20:11–21; 1 Corinthians 5:1–2, and bestiality Leviticus 18:23; 20:15–16 the scriptures reveal the written laws, the acts are forbidden making these acts unlawful.
“For not the hearers of the law are just with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:13
“Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:4
“What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary; I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET.” Romans 7:7 (NASB)
“We do not nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.”
Romans 3:31
So how do we know what a sin is? We measure it against a written law therefore if I being a man lie with a man as with a woman I am breaking a law that says “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.” Leviticus 20:13
“But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.” Galatians 5:18
“And we know that the Law is good, if anyone uses it lawfully; 9. Knowing this, that law is not laid down for a righteous one but for lawless and unruly ones, for ungodly and sinful ones, for unholy and profane ones, for slayers of fathers and slayers of mothers, for murderers, 10. For fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave traders, for liars, for perjurers, and if any other thing opposes sound teaching. “
1 Timothy 1:8-10
“all Scripture is God breathed is profitable for doctrine and instruction in righteous living.”
2 Timothy 3:16 (NASB)
“It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away then a little bit of the law to fail and or lapse.” Luke 16:17
“So indeed the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.” Romans 7:12
Romans 7:13 continues to say:
“Then that which is good, has it become death to me? Let it not be! But sin, that it might appear to be sin, having worked out death to me through the good, in order that sin might become excessively sinful through the commandment.” Romans 7:13
Continuing on we read of Christ Jesus sexual whole as written in Genesis 2:22-23. “And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.’
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24
This is the premise of marriage and His plan and purpose for male and female “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27
Genesis 2:18 God said “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” [female]
Matthew 19:4-6 “And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH’? Romans 1:26-27
Now we know that sexual intercourse with man; and man and woman and woman is not the same as that is with man and woman and neither can they obey the very first command to multiply and fill the earth in His original marriage covenant, that reveals a Patriarchal Covenant.
“For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function (that is what God established in Genesis) for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own person the due penalty of their error.”
Paul, who was anointed and moved by The Holy Spirit, speaks in 1 Corinthians 6:9 that homosexuals and the effeminate - male with male and the fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders … will inherit the kingdom of God.”
We also know that sexual relations out of wedlock is fornication therefore homosexuality in fornication. Acts 21:25 commands us to abstain from fornication therefore it is sin and again what is sin according to 1 John 3:4? A transgression of His laws thus all sin is lawlessness measured against The Word of God the laws of God.
“Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.” “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” KJ
1 Corinthians 6:17-20 writes that fornication and every sin which man/woman does sins against his/her own body, did you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit you are not of yourselves brought with a price then glorify God in your body.”
Therefore this sin is the dishonoring of our bodies thus Romans 1:24 writes “God gave them up to uncleanness in the lusts of their hearts, their bodies to be dishonored among themselves, who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator...”
“For be knowing this, that every fornicator, or unclean one, or covetous one, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.” Ephesians 5:5-6
“… the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20. Idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fighting’s, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21. envying’s, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21
Romans 13:13-14 “Let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the weapons of the light. 13. Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in carousing’s and drinking; not in cohabitation and lustful acts, not in fighting and envy. 14. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ do not take thought beforehand for the lusts of the flesh. “Therefore, I say this, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk the ways even as also the rest of the nation’s walk, in the vanity of their mind;” Ephesians 4:17
“For God’s wrath is revealed from Heaven on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, holding the truth in unrighteousness,” Romans 1:18
“…but to those even disobeying the truth out of self-interest, and obeying unrighteousness, will be anger and wrath.” Romans 2:8
“…having eyes full of an adulteress, and never ceasing from sin; alluring unsettled souls; having a heart busied with covetousness; cursed children;” 2 Peter 2:14
“Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false…because they refused to love the truth.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 10
“Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:14 (KJ)
“…separate the precious from the vile...” Jeremiah 15:19
“…touch no unclean thing you who bear the vessels of the Lord.” Isaiah 52:11
“…it is not everyone who keeps saying to me ‘Lord, Lord’ who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the man who actually does my Heavenly father’s will.’ “In ‘that day’ many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we preach in you name, didn’t we cast out devils in you name, and do many great things in you name?’ Then I shall tell them plainly, ‘I have never known you. Go away, from me, you have worked on the side of evil!’” Matthew 7:21-23 (Phillips Modern English)
“If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32
“Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” John 17:17
“But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” Hebrews 5:14
“clinging to the faithful word according to the teaching, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching, and to convict the ones speaking…” Titus 1:9
“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;” Ephesians 5:11
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2
“But I say, walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16
“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son…Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Romans 8:29-30
“…if perhaps God may give them repentance for a full knowledge of the truth, 26. And they may awake out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him, so as to do the will of that one.” 2 Timothy 2:25-26
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 RSV
“And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given to us an understanding that we might know the true One and we are in the true One. In His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the life everlasting. 21. Little children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.” 1 John 5:20-21
“Watch yourselves, that we may not lose the things we worked out, but that we may receive a full reward. 9. Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one abiding in the teaching of Christ, this one has the Father and the Son. 10. If anyone comes to you and does not bear this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him. 11. For the one speaking a greeting shares in his evil works.” 2 John 8-11
“…examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or do you not yourselves know that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are reprobates? 2 Corinthians 13:5
“Earnestly study to show yourself approved to God, a workman unashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
“And the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and as He taught you, abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27
“And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica; for they received the word with all readiness, daily examining the Scriptures if these things are so.” Acts 17:11
“Test all things, hold fast to the good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
