Homosexuality Is Sin

Recently, I have posted a portion of the story about Richard Cizik who was a spokesman for the National Association of Evangelicals. He supported gay marriage and was forced to resign from the NAE. Onenewsnow reports the following regarding a homosexual group coming to Cizik's defense:

The nation's largest homosexual activist group is rushing to the defense of the ousted Washington lobbyist for the National Association of Evangelicals.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) says the National Association of Evangelicals "lost its credibility as a religious organization that professes to teach the gospel" when it "forced" Richard Cizik to resign his position as vice president for governmental affairs. Cizik angered many conservative evangelicals earlier this month when he told National Public Radio that he was "shifting" on the issue of same-sex "marriage" and now supports homosexual civil unions. (See earlier article)

In a statement, HRC says it is "encouraged by the growing number of religious leaders such as Rev. Richard Cizik who are looking with fresh eyes at scripture's requirement and wrestling with what justice for their lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender neighbors means."

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says when you are an evangelical leader and you are being praised by the Human Rights Campaign, "you know you're in trouble."

"When you've got HRC praising your theology from a gay perspective, that's a very bad sign. Obviously, Human Rights Campaign wants to redefine the Bible. They don't want homosexuality to be a sin anymore, and they're looking for anybody, especially well-known Christians, to start changing the biblical view of homosexuality," he contends. "That's what Cizik did. He was wrong to do it. He had no biblical basis for doing it."

LaBarbera adds that he is praying that Cizik repents and returns to a biblical view of homosexuality.

I say that the HRC is wrong; the NAE gained some credibility when Cizik was forced to resign. Homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible. If you don't believe that the Bible is God's Word to man then this argument means nothing to you. However, if you believe the Bible is true, then you must admit that homosexuality is an abomination before God. Those that supported candidates this past November that support gay rights, I leave to God who is far better able to deal with you than I. I believe the church must make a firm stand against all homosexual rights. This includes any right that is reserved to married couples. If the right sought to be obtained is granted only to married couples (one man one woman), then it should be exclusively for those married couples. This would exclude heterosexual couples living together as well as homosexual couples. This may seem harsh to those who do not believe the Bible is God's Word; however, to those of us who love God's Word, we know that He knows best and His judgment is perfect. He has forbade this activity and called it sin and so should we.
