Over the years of my Christian walk, I have had to come to terms with my thoughts on homosexuality for two reasons: 1/ What is spoken in the Scriptures, i.e., the Bible, and 2/ What are the causes of homosexuality?

When I come away from the Sacred Scriptures, I see looking at me square in the face, a God Who above all things, is at the center of His Being, Agape, and a most merciful God beyond measure! With these understandings, and of course this is not exhaustive in my mind, we as His children, must ourselves come away from our study of the Sacred Scriptures, with that same character, for the Plan of Salvation teaches us that we are given salvation in a moment in time, in our acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior from sin, and Lord and Master of our lives, however, only those who are constantly in the process of becoming more like Him in character [i.e., constantly walking a winning Sanctification -- see Revelation 3: 5: "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."], can actually be brought into the Kingdom of Heaven, and continue our eternal lives upon the Earth Made New! This must be the motivation within our Christian walk, not a hoped for Kingdom, not eternal life, not anything other than becoming so much like Jesus in Character, we can be trusted to be taken into Heaven, by the Creator God! Remember we are told in Nahum: "What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time" (Nahum 1: 9, KJV).

Regardless what we desire to speak of, our characters which are to be of agape, must always be shown in our comprehending a topic, and our summary upon that topic, having considered all of the pros and cons, thus arriving at a conclusion which both expresses as well as exalts the True Character of God. This can only be done by our usage of His criteria [that which is between Genesis 1: 1 and Revelation 22: 21], that all things needed for mankind to become even as He is in character, is used to bring about any and every conclusion! This is the only hope for us as children of God, for we are warned that if we add or subtract from the criteria, we shall be found unworthy to live eternally, AND worthy of the curses the Scriptures hold for evil-doers.

There is a perfectly stated concept which the Apostle Paul uses from within the Book of Romans: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit [There is but one Way to be found worthy for Heaven, and that is to walk after the Spirit, and not after the flesh! Flesh {Greek, sarx}, here, means that I am a person who is only and always interested in the things of this world, and hence we have the ability to use the word 'humanistic' here as we use the word 'flesh,' to identify those Paul is trying to identify in human life]. 2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus [There are two laws being spoken of in this single verse, meaning as I see things, two axioms: First axiom: The Law of the Spirit of like in Christ Jesus, i.e., anyone in whom the Spirit of Christ lives, will be accepted into eternal life; his/her name shall not be blotted from the Book of Life {Revelation 3: 5 above}, because this number 1 axiom] hath made me free from the law of sin and death [Second Axiom: All come into the world, able to be happy with how this world's polity continues, because Adam's sin at the tree, has made all his children more apt to seek selfishness than to seek selflessness, the latter, being the character of the one from Earth who walks in the First Axiom]. 3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh [What the torah could not do, in pointing out what we SHOULD DO, was to give us the power to do what we should do, i.e., live as we should live being the children of God. Truth was, we were not born as God's children at all, but children of the first Adam, who gave his allegiance to Satan, hence, in him, we too have thus given our allegiance to Satan], God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh ['in the likeness means not exactly like sinful flesh, and as I have studied this point for thirty-five years, I have found this can only mean, Jesus was not exactly sinful flesh, for only one reason: He DID NOT SIN, whereas all others have sinned in sinful flesh!'], and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh [I.E., EVEN THOUGH BECOMING SIN FOR US, BECAUSE JESUS DID NO SIN IN SINFUL FLESH, HE THEREFORE FINALLY DESTROYED THE LAW WHICH SAID THAT IF YOU COME INTO THIS WORLD IN SINFUL FLESH, YOU MUST SIN! This law again as I see it, had to have been the basis for Lucifer's claim against the Throne of God, for in order to obscure his real reason for rebelling [coveting the place & title of the Son of God], Lucifer called down the character of God, by casting doubt on His Law, telling the angels they all must continually be slaves to God, by walking in His Law. If he were god, Lucifer said, he would allow all those of the angelic realm, to be free! This ploy not only succeeded in taking down one third of the angelic realm, but the same lie at the Tree, brought down Eve, and her husband, Adam, causing all the world to know nothing of true freedom, for James the Lord's half-brother, calls the Decalogue, the 'law of liberty' {see James 1: 25 & 2: 12}, thus showing us that Satan is the one who causes all to walk in slavery not in freedom. This comprehension allows us to see what happened at the Throne of God, i.e., by looking at what occurred at the Tree, and following the words of Romans 8 as we do here, we are able to see what happened in Heaven]:

4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us [Firstly, we see here, there is righteousness in following the law; our problem however, is that we find it easier to walk in opposition to the law, than to walk according to the law. This, i.e., walk according to the law, Jesus did, that the righteousness of the law might in our receiving Him, be fulfilled in us!], who walk not after the flesh [humanism], but after the Spirit [allowing the Spirit of Christ to be the Ruler of our human lives, rather than wanting 'self' to reign in this life!]. 5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6: For to be carnally minded is death [for any human to allow the 'self' to rule their sinful flesh, they will only and forever know, this life about us, which at its best times, we still know trials!]; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace [To allow the Spirit of Christ, rather than the 'self,' to rule our sinful flesh in this world, will bring about our being chosen 'in Him,' for an eternity of living, in a Land that is only peace and agape!]. 7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against God [THIS IS THE POINT! Humanism, our living for this life alone, blinds us to the things of God, AND the things of God, are found, only in following after His Law, and this is the way unto everlasting life, and can only be found in His Sacred Scriptures, thus being in obedience to them, because 'self' has been denied, and the Spirit of Christ rules us here and now! This life, therefore, has been given up, that we might partake of the eternal life, which is then ours, by FAITHfully following after His Word!]: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be [Humanism is the problem in all sin! Only in obeying the word of God, do we show, that we are worthy 'in Him,' to have an eternity of life, that shall be more wonderful than our greatest wishes!].
8: So then they that are in the flesh [that walk in this life selfishly] cannot please God.
9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you [AGAIN, the point: If the Spirit indwells you, you are not living your own selfish life here on planet Earth, but rather you are allowing that 'the self' is put in abeyance, so that the greater life might be sought after and found!]. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his [Again, this speaks to the truth of all the words here, from verse one to nine: Only the Spirit-filled, and self-emptied individual, belong to God!]" (Romans 8: 1-9, KJV, emphasis & notations mine)!

It is simply a truthful look into these Two Laws, which shall allow the homosexual to see, whether she/he is selfishly involved with this world alone, or that she/he is desirous of an eternity of living with God! ONLY ONE LIFE CAN BE LIVED of the two, thus if a selfish life on planet Earth is lived, that individual has given away his/her right to eternal life! All that needs be asked, is this self-evident question: "What would occur, if the whole world were homosexual?" Rather than everyone standing and laughing and screaming "The whole world would finally be happy!" the truth is told in these words which alone are true: "The human race will eventually become extinct!" This is as far as we can go therefore, without hurting an individual, in coming to the conclusion concerning the homosexual lifestyle. It cannot be godly due to the extinction of mankind locked into the actions, and thus the only choice for truth, is that homosexuality is an enemy to mankind, and must be avoided at all costs! Only those whose reason in deciding other than this is selfish, shall indeed call the opposite!
