“if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7
This is an excerpt taken from the book “Making A Strong Christian Nation”.
God’s View of Sexual and Homosexual Sin:
God didn’t create people for sexual immorality, but for Himself. He wants His Holy Spirit in each of us. Are you encouraged that God wants to dwell with us? 1 Corinthians 6:13 teaches:
“Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.”
God created male and female. He shows us that there is a difference between the holy ways of one man and one woman lifelong marriage and the unholy ways of fornication, adultery and homosexual sin. God says that when people commit sexual immorality, they “defile My holy name” and a nation doing so is “defiled” (Amos 2:7, Lev. 18:24). Importantly, He also shows us that every sin a person “does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body” (1 Cor. 6:18). God calls for abstinence before marriage. 1 Cor. 6:9-10 says that the sexually immoral will not go to heaven, unless they repent. Anyone can repent. God says:
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
All sexual sin is forgiven by Jesus’ sacrifice. In the next chapter we share more about God’s forgiveness. Let’s now look at homosexual sin, to see what God says and to help the USA follow God. Leviticus 18:22 and Deuteronomy 22:5 say:
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”
Now that you are aware of what God says, do you see that a Christian can’t support abominations before God? Do you realize that homosexual “marriage” is rejecting what God says? If you are concerned about the consequences of sin, God tells us to call for repentance and forgiveness. The first mention of sodomy is seen in Genesis 13:13 and later 2 Peter 2:6, Jude 7 and Leviticus 18:25 warn about judgment. They say:
“But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.”
God “turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;”
“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
“the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.”
No one wants the USA judged. God and history show us that God destroys homosexual societies. Kings Asa, Jehoshapaht and Josiah removed homosexual sin from Judah (1 Kings 15:11-12, 1 Kings 22:46, 2 Kings 23:7). 1 Kings 15:11-12 shows King Asa’s love for God. It reads:
“Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.And he took away the sodomites out of the land …”
Why does God tell us all this? In Romans 1:22-31 God warns that He gives the unrepentant over to a debased mind. This should be a strong warning that we obey God. He says:
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie…”For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness… haters of God… Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Be careful you are not deceived. Some are lying about what our Founding Fathers believed on sexual sin. The truth is answered with this question: Who made the laws making homosexual sin illegal in the USA? Our Founding Fathers, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson… made homosexual sin illegal in all thirteen colonies, followed by all fifty states. Why? They obeyed God. They were modest and preferred not to say the word “sodomy” so they called the sin “a crime not fit to be named”. George Washington removed by court martial homosexuals out of the military to have God’s blessing.
You have to decide are you on God’s side and our Founding Fathers’ side or are you on sin’s side. You can’t support both. Which side are you on?

Jesus Died on the Cross to Forgive You.
No matter what sins you may have committed, Jesus’ blood cleanses you from all sin (1 John 1:7).
Will you call on Jesus to be your Lord and Savior? Also ask God for the Holy Spirit so you can live a holy life. If you are willing, God will cleanse you and forgive you because Jesus died on the cross to forgive you.
