On homosexuality …
Homosexuality is obviously a man made desire, not a God created natural reality. There shall be no homosexuality amongst believers. Believers are called to live life at a higher level. Amongst humankind, the prevailing and overriding behavior shall be agape love and respect for each other. The same sex marriage between a same sex couple is therefore also not a God created natural reality. As you can clearly tell, the sexual parts don’t quite fit. The purpose of same sex marriage is supposedly to claim equal status as heterosexual marriage between a man and wife for the purposes of superannuation (retirement benefits), social security payments and the disposal of deceased estates – the practical and pragmatic aspects of lives. Though homosexuality is wrong in God’s sight, the Lord judges long-term faithful relationships more favorably than short-term casual promiscuous relationships.
Homosexuality can be triggered by absent role models, or abuse from a parent of the opposite sex. Could homosexuality be confused with strong mateship between members of the same sex? Strong friendship between members of the same sex is OK. As human beings, we also need intimate relationships. Somewhere along the way, a strong friendship is mistaken for a strong sexual attraction and the relationship is sexualized.
The word marriage is a sacred biblical concept of and a reserved word for a life covenant between a man and his wife before God, to be terminated by death.
On abortion …
In a world where sin is rife, the notion of abortion – the termination of a human fetus – permeates the consciousness and the conscience of an overpopulated planet. Abortion begs an answer. In black and white terms, the termination of a life based on human decision is wrong in God’s sight. In practical and pragmatic terms of life, it is a decision that the individual mother has to make based on her relationship with God. In order to do this, the individual mother is assumed to have a close and thriving relationship with God. The termination of a life – a human fetus – has to be based on God’s decision according to God’s counsel, not human decision. Who but God knows His purposes for this little life, yet unborn in its mother’s womb?
On divorce …
As a moral guide, the bible states that unfaithfulness (Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9) is the only grounds for divorce in God’s eyes. The Lord has revealed to me again in order for me to pass on this message to you. Sexual abuse and physical abuse is to be considered as evidence of unfaithfulness between man and his wife because of Ephesians 5:33 and is grounds for divorce. Having said that, all relationship challenges can be healed when they are surrendered to God. Ask God to breathe new life into and revive your ailing relationship. He is more than able.
May the grace and peace of Abba Father the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
