SEXUAL PERVERSION
In our treatment of the subject of sexual immorality it is necessary that we consider sexual perversion. It isn't just confined to the scum of society but there are many educated, intelligent people from refined social backgrounds that practice some form of sexual perversion. Some doctors, psychiatrists, teachers and even some churches and ministers are approving of it under the guise of civil rights and human liberty. Many feel that this issue shouldn't be addressed at all for fear of adding to the hostile environment.
Despite the cultural climate in which we leave, this issue must be addressed according to the word of God. God laws are always for our good. Although man may see them as restricting but in the end, only obedient to the word of God can bring true freedom. We address the issue out of God's love for the perverts to bless and help them. Much of our society has embraced many perverted sexual practice that are considered in the Bible as abominations to God. Homosexuality is among the list of deviate or abnormal sexual practices however, there are many other practices that can be included as well. Pornographic, pedophilia, prostitution, bestiality, phone sex, and computer virtual reality sex, just to name a few of them.
“know ye not 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”. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Although the Bible doesn't detail each and every one of these sinful acts, it does clearly speak out about many of them. Any deviation from God's original plan for sex between a married couple is still a sin in God's eyes. The main reason we call these things perverted is because they are unnatural and scripture clearly tells us those who do such things are committing abominations.
“You shall not lie with mankind, as with
woman kind: it is abomination”
Leviticus 18:22
Homosexuality is also referred to as the sin of sodomy. This reference comes from an account in the Bible of two exceeding wicked cities, Sodom and
Gomorrah, which the Lord destroyed. Sodom was known for its rampant homosexuality and unrestrained sexual lust. When the lord sent angels to warn Lot who lived in the city that it was about to be destroyed, the men of the city actually wanted to rape the Angels! (Genesis 13:13) “But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly”. In the Old
