Christians, start talking about why homosexuality is a sin. Stop avoiding the topic. If we canât talk about it with people who disagree with us, it only says something untrue. Itâs just a sin, like all the other sins. Itâs just a twisted desire, just like all the other twisted desires. âSuch were some of us.â It put Christ in the cross, it condemns the person who sells their soul to it to eternity without Him. Donât make it any less or any more than that by avoiding the topic. The Bible doesnât treat it like a taboo topic.
Honestly so many people are deconstructing or dropping away from the faith because they donât know how to be loving and talk about how the Bible is right when it says homosexuality is a sin. So they donât talk about it, but everyone who disagrees with the Bible doesâso no truth is coming in, just lies, and no wonder that one thread unravels the silent âChristianâsâ whole faith.
Because listen, listen, marriage is a picture of the Gospel, and love is Christ. So when they twist those two things, and you decide theyâre right, everything else falls apart because theyâre all connected.
So yes, itâs too not-special-at-all, just another twisted desire, for you to be afraid to talk about it. But itâs also too important to know the truth about it, and replace the lies about it, for you to be silent about it.
Just tell âem itâs like every other sin. Your desires are twisted and you can either choose to identify with them, or you can submit them to Christ and identify with Him while he untangles the desires. You can be god of your own life until itâs time to spend eternity without Him, or you can admit Heâs God. Thatâs it. By making it âspecialâ youâre feeding into the lie that homosexuality is some special, unique, sacred part of a personâs psyche that has to be treated as such. Even if youâre against it. No, it doesnât. The Gospel conversation is the same, whether the sin they embrace is homosexuality or not.
You want to be with someone of the same gender romantically, sexually? Well, I want to turn my car wheel into oncoming traffic. The difference between me and you is, I agreed with realityâmy life isnât mine, so my desire to end it isnât right, and I wonât live by it. Iâll give it to the God who made me. You, on the other hand, arenât thereâyet. Youâre still living out the lie that you were made for you, and every passing twisted desire that doesnât line up with reality is your governing authority.
But the answer is the same. Jesus took the punishment for me, and you, committing cosmic treason against the loving God who made us to be god, ourselves, and twist up the love He invented us for. He took the punishment for all that, and He can straighten out the scoliosis of your soul. The answerâs the same. So whyâs the conversation taboo? Because Barnes & Noble put a whole celebratory bookshelf out? Because Instagram shows you reels of people wailing when itâs brought up? Get over it. Stop treating people who celebrate their sin like their sin is more powerful than whatever sin Christ saved you from.
