Homosexuality versus Homosexuals

Dear friends, Canada fined a town $10,000 for not participating in "Pride Month and flying the LGBTQ2 rainbow flag." They accused the town of 1,300 people of violating the Human Rights Code. Both Christians and Muslims joined hands to protest this atrocity against their religious freedom. They rightly argued, "No flags were being flown for the straight people." Therefore, they were not obligated to fly the rainbow flag.[1] In sharp contrast, America’s President Donald Trump has passed a law that only identifies two genders: male and female.[2]

 

Jesus loves homosexuals, but Jesus hates homosexuality. Those who continue to practice homosexuality cannot become members of God’s family (1 Timothy 1:10). God’s Word considers homosexuality as a detestable (Lev. 18:22) sin (1 Cor. 6: 9,10), a perversion (Jude 1:5-7, Gen 19:4-5), and punishable offense (Rom 1, Lev 20:13). Therefore, pastors cannot give them membership, let alone conduct their homosexual weddings. 

 

Even natural selection did not select homosexuality as a way for the human species to reproduce. It is an unproductive, unnatural, unsustainable, perverted way of life. That is why Dr Ambedkar’s “colonial era” Constitution calls it an unnatural practice in Article 377.

“Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with 1 [imprisonment for life], or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Explanation.—Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.”[3]

 

However, India’s Supreme Court ruled against this article, citing genetic reasons for homosexual behaviors. The Supreme Court of India considered 377 “irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary” in consensual adult homosexual relationships.[4] However, 377 was active concerning “minors, non-consensual sexual acts, and bestiality.” In 2023, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) removed 377 except for the right to self-defense against “an assault to gratify unnatural lust.”[5]

 

 

Nevertheless, new research shows that sexual orientation (Hetero or Homo) may have no genetic origin. Identical twins have identical DNA but display diverse sexual orientations. One of the twins may be homo, while the other is hetero. It shows that one’s genetic makeup does not determine one’s sexual orientation.[6] Therefore, since homosexualities have no genetic or natural basis, the provisions of article 377 would still make sense. The article is still active in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Srilanka (365).[7]

 

Dr Shashi Tharoor and his liberal friends wanted to strike this article down. However, they never got the Parliament’s nod. The AAP-Congress-Communist team always says they want to save the Constitution from amendments. Then, why were they so keen to remove this article? Gandhi Parivar, AAP, and the Communist Party share Tharoor’s viewpoint. IUML, BJP, and SP wanted to uphold this article. As a follower of the Bible, carefully think before you choose the side you support.

 

The people of God left this sinful way of life 4000+ years ago. God destroyed Sodom for doing sodomy. It is not a progressive way of life. It pushes civilization backward by 4000+ years. Homosexuality is a learned behavior. Many Biblical Christians have overcome this behavior with the help of the Holy Spirit. If adulterers, thieves, and murderers cannot continue in their sinful ways of life to be a part of God’s church, how can homosexuals be allowed? God will show homosexuals mercy if they repent and stop practicing homosexuality. Jesus loves all people. He will forgive and help them to live holy lives that glorify him.

Happy Resurrection Day: The day God's love and justice defeated the devil's hatred and injustice

In a famous movie dialogue from Dabang, the heroine tells the Robinhood Police officer who proposes to her, "Thappad se darr nahi lagta sahib; pyar se lagta hai." (Sir, I am not scared of beatings. I fear love.) Love is the crucial ingredient of God's character that makes the devil tremble. Many of us assume that the devil fears holiness and loud rebukes. On the contrary, he is not scared of self-righteous people's holiness or loud rebukes of spirit-filled prophets. He fears love, genuine love. Jesus Christ defeated the devil's hatred expressed in people's rejection by his love. He came to his people, but they chose to disown him. Even so, he chose to love them more, so much more that they didn't know what he had accomplished for them upon the cross. Many people must have thought that God punished Jesus. They were right about this first aspect, but little did they know that God had laid their punishment upon him. Like sheep, they had wandered away, but, in...

Where our Hearts are not Afraid of the Terrorist into such an India lead us Lord...

Lately, a Muslim brother said to me, "Sir, there is no place for terrorism in Islam." I liked his assertion. He is so confident that Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, and Atheists did all the terror attacks in the world until now. We must acknowledge such people's knowledge of others' knowledge and their confidence in their ability to convince others of what they believe is true. I wish what he said was true. However, if you take the sheer data of how many Muslims committed Terrorism and what their percentage is in this matter when compared to other religious communities, you would be left astounded. More than ninety-nine percent of all terrorist attacks in the world were the gift of Islam.   Still, he defends the people of his religion brazenly. This conversation happened immediately after a group of terrorists brutally killed twenty-eight people in Kashmir in front of their spouses and c...

Empuraan: A Movie Review from a Hindu-Christian Perspective

Dear Empuraan, We love you. We know you intend to present something positive using negative Biblical characters. Love and justice are human needs. Perhaps it is because God created us in his image: love and justice. Your movie is successful. Your acting is superb, as always. People love your presence and presence of mind. Your message is justice through strength, that is, by punishing the wicked. Even so, the Bible says, "Delightful are the merciful. They shall receive mercy." I loved many of your quotations from the Holy books. For instance, "But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it... for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you (Matthew 10:19-20)." However, the first 10-20 minutes of Empuraan are a biased depiction of historical facts to support one faction of Kerala's thoughts. Don't forget that the Gujarat riots have a cause. Muslim people burned a train in Godhra on 27 February 200...
