I rarely post about homosexuality. In fact, I’m more likely to tell you that I’m going to ignore the question than weigh in on it. But Collin Hansen wrote something you have to read:
God can do nothing worse to sinners than grant their desires.
- How to Win the Public on Homosexuality
That’s not just about homosexuality – it’s about every type of sin.
If God gave us the unregenerate desires of our hearts we would be ruined.
An Example
If I don’t warn you about the train that is about to hit you, I am not your friend.
If God left sin alone and allowed us to throw ourselves in front of (metaphorical) trains, he would be a monster.
God’s judgment of our behavior is a mercy.
Sin, Judgment and Society
Collin Hansen correctly observes that the gay rights movement bases their argument on their natural desires.
The question isn’t whether or not homosexual lusts are genetic, learned or something in between. The question is whether they are something God has deemed a train wreck waiting to happen.
And he doesn’t want to give it to us.
What “natural desires” do you indulge which are opposed to God? Are they socially acceptable?
Me? Pride and lust. They are very acceptable in our society. I wish they weren’t.
