confused...?

Question

i know people say that being gay is wrong and that interacial dating is wrong because the bible states it. so does it actually say in the bible that these 2 things are wrong? if it does please tell me where i can find it in the bible. or just anything relating to it in the bible

Answer 1

Everything which God tells us in the Bible is not always spelled out in black and white. But as far as being gay, I believe that God makes it very clear to us that it is wrong. If you remember the story in the Bible concerning Sodom and Gommorah, they were everyone completely destroyed, and it was mainly because of people being gay, as we call it. As far as interracial marriage is concerned, I do not believe that God looks at the color of your skin, but He looks at the heart. As a matter of fact, if you will study the story of Moses meeting his wife in the Old Testament, she came from a land that was mainly black people. And also, I know that one time I asked God about this matter, because I had two great friends who were in love; one black and one white; and the answer that He gave me, was that the black people were his people, just as the whites are. He created us all. If you will seek God's direction, I am sure that He will give you the right answer; for He is not a God of confusion, but of peace.

Answer 2

At Acts 10:34 and 35 the Bible tells us that God is not partial concerning people of different nationalities or races and we are to immitate him so we would want to be color blind as well. This would extend to the marriage arrangement. The only requirement for Christians is to "marry only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). Therefore, we would not want to marry someone who has not dedicated his/her life to God. Romans 1:26 and 27 and 1 Corinthians 6:8 tell us that practicing homosexuality is wrong and that those who continue to do so will not inherit God's Kingdom.

Answer 3

Here are a couple of in depth books that I'm sure will help you in your quest, friend.
There is a very popular book entitled "Strong's Biblical Concordance" that will help you locate anything anywhere in the Bible.
Another great book, a "Greek Lexicon" will help you to decipher the Greek translation for yourself.
My personal favorite is "Vines Expository dictionary of Old and New Testament Words".
Knowledge is power.
I hope this helps you my friend.
Take care. : )

Answer 4

I don't know about interracial relationships but here is scripture on gay relationship 1 Corinthians 6:9 What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men,

Romans 1:26,27- That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which is due their error.

Answer 5

Dear Confused - homosexuality is wrong because it is a sinful lifestyle that people choose to live in that God has said is against the nature he has created. God also designed us to love one another and as he created nature to stay within their own, it is only natural that we too should desire to stay within our own, maybe not because of our love for one another, but because of our love for offspring, our families, and love is to be selfless, and if it going to create heartache then we should abstain from it. Before any of this can be overcome though, we must realize that by our very birth we are born into hell and that is eternal separation from God, which is not his desire for us, but it is the wages for our sinful nature. That is why their is a time in our life where we get confused and realize that we need something, that something we need is Jesus Christ and as we accept him as the only begotten son of God, then he puts a spirit within us, the Holy Spirit, that allows us to accept or deny Christ. If we deny him, then we have placed ourselves into eternal separation, if we accept then we have placed ourselves into eternal life with God in heaven upon our mortal death. I hope this discourse, even though lengthy, has been quite helpful to you and if you have questions, please feel free to email me. Deanna

Answer 6

The bible is the devil

Answer 7

what bible are you reading???...or are you listening to what someone TOLD you the bible said...as the caveman said..do a little research....

Answer 8

Your not going to find what you just said in the bible. why? It's not there.

What you will find is. What you described is wrong for Christians. If your not a christian this is not meant for you. your already condemned by the Word of God, for being "lost", not for being "gay".

No where in the bible does it say: Lost or unbelievers CAN'T be gay and live this life style. Period.

I want you too listen too me real careful. OK?

NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE YOU ARE GOING TO HELL FOR BEING GAY. YOU HEAR ME?

If you are, then the bible is a lie. There is no "repentance for you.

There is no place in the bible a gay person can show me they are a christian. There are abundance of scriptrures that says gays are NOT chritians. Christians DO NOT go to hell. ok? Gays will NOT inherit the new kingdom. How can a gay be a christian and NOT inherit the kingdom? Your right, they can't. They are living a false sense of salvation.
No wonder you are confused. I have seen christians throw scripture around like frisbies. They simply don't know what they are talking about, unfortunatly.

Gays are NOT condemned to hell like they tell you. The bible specifically says: They will not inherit the kingdom. (You might ask, this is the same thing). NO. it is NOT the same thing. If you were condemned to hell, there is no chance of repentance. As long as your alive, you can repent and inherit the kingdom WHEN you die. ok?


In the light of what has been said, let's consider the outcome of practicing sin. Multitudes think that
walking an aisle, signing a card, and sending one's photograph for baptism constitutes a salvation experience. Soothed and salved by such religious pilgrimages to the altar or prayer room, they continue
the practice of every abominable degradation known.
Regardless of their decadent lifestyle, all is well because, once upon a time, they made a beeline to the altar. Unfortunately, all they gained by it was "exercise," not an "experience. " The "move" made, the practicing sinners rest in an unexperienced experience and they will die as unconverted converts. How deceived they are! How sad they will be at the judgment when Christ cries, I NEVER knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:23). As I say such convicting truth, I realize that some sin-laden world lings are angry. They are crying, "Christian liberty, Christian liberty." Ah, but Christian liberty is never a driver's license to steer one's life into the pathways of sin! Others lament, "We are under grace and thus are able to do anything and everything." Ah, but grace does not allow for a
lifetime of disgrace! The "Apostle of grace" dogmatically teaches this. This is not open for opinion.
Strange as it may seem to some, Paul's "grace" message concerning sin is identical to John's "legalistic"
discourse about iniquity. Why not? God wrote all of the Bible. He used Paul, John, and others -- even their personalities and vocabularies -- but He guided every word into place ( 2 Peter 1:21). As a result,
Paul, as well as John, makes it clear that one cannot love sin, desire sin, chase sin, live in sin, and check into a sinless heaven. Though any Christian can commit any sin at any time, Paul nevertheless concludes that there must be evidence of a "new nature" constantly battling against an "old nature" if one has been born again. No evidence -- no experience with God! It's that simple.
This is so, because the Spirit of God becomes "grieved" ( Ephesians 4:30) and "quenched" ( 1

Thessalonians 5:19) when believers sin. The believer, in turn, shares the grief produced by the indwelling Spirit. Then, if he continues in sin, he is "spanked" spiritually ( Hebrews 12:6) and may "die" prematurely ( 1 John 5:16), going home "ashamed" ( 1 John 2:28) and suffering the loss of all rewards being saved as by fire (1 Corinthians 3:15). It is foolish, to teach that Paul's "grace" proclamation allows one to live in sin. If this alone can't at least capture one's attention, something is bad wrong.
If, at this point, one is still unconvinced, Paul's following warnings should settle it once, for all, and forever.(IF a person is seeking Truth). Hear him in 1 Corinthians 6:9,10: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not [SHALL NOT. That's right, shall not!] inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators [premarital sex experimenters and "trial marriage" proponents], nor idolaters, nor adulterers [extramarital flingers and swingers], nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind [homosexuals], Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards [social tipplers who tipple one too many], nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Paul again warns in Ephesians 5:3-7: But fornication [premarital sex], and all uncleanness, or covetousness [love of materialism and filthy lucre], let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.For this [you] KNOW, that no whoremonger [immoral sex practitioner], nor unclean person [smutty jokester], nor the covetous man, who is an idolater [money lover], hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. [None? None!] Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things [sins] cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore
partakers with them. No doubt about it. Depraved, debauched, decadent practitioners of sin inhabit the
lake of fire for all eternity ( Revelation 21:8).
One more judgmental alarm is sounded by Paul in Galatians 5:19-21. He says, Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT [What? SHALL NOT!] inherit the kingdom of God. Such
grammar is so simplistic and understandable that further comment is unnecessary. It all convincingly says, he that practiceth sin is of the devil.
Does all this mean, then, that practicing sinners have no hope? Perish the thought! God loves sinners and sent His Son to Calvary's cross to shed His blood for a world of wicked inhabitants. This blood, which flowed so freely from a love-filled Savior, cleanseth from ALL sin ( 1 John 1:7). Because of it, a great number of Corinthians described in 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 as fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners were eternally forgiven as verse 11 proves. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. This is what the "second birth" did for them
and will do for you today if you receive Christ. Remember, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

The entire book of Romans is written for Christians.

Rom.Ch.1
26) 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:

27) 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
28) 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;

29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32) 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.When God inspired this to be said , He closed it with a PERIOD. He didn't leave it with a question mark as to be opened for opinion.



Good Question.
