Can Homosexuals Be Transformed Or Anyone Else?

I have watched in amazement how the issue of Homosexuality has taken over a whole bunch of discussion in our culture in America.  So much so that, even in the United Methodist Church (Yup! I am a Christ Follower who happens to be a Methodist.) we battle over this issue all the way up to General Conference, where Church policy and polity is made.

Some call folks "haters" who describe this sin as the worst of the worst; meanwhile the name callers who call folks "haters" frame homosexuality as a civil right, and call others "bigots" (Not to mention the afore mentioned "haters") who believe it is sin.

Let me make this clear.  It don't matter what we mere humans decide... PERIOD!  In the end,  we all are going to stand before the Creator. He will most definitely sort all of us out.

So where does the ole SoJourner stand on this.  I believe scripture is clear regarding ALL sin, and it does NOT exclude homosexuality.  I believe that a Savior has come to forgive all sin for those who turn from that sin, and who turn to THE Savior: who forgives, redeems, sanctifies (makes us holy), perfects us, transforms us, gives us access into the holiest place and sprinkles us from evil guilty consciences (See Hebrews 9:12-10:24.)

Traditionally homosexuality has been regarded as sin.... like for over 4000 years or more.

Experiencially I have read the Bible regarding the power of transformation, and I have experienced it myself.  Empirically I have watched people change from homosexuals transform, over a period of time, to overcome this sin that has ensnared them, just as I overcome the various sins that ensnared me. God did it.  God does it.  I just get the benefit, and so can anyone else :o)

So, it's reasonable to me to NOT support the new view that has been  (over the last 5 decades) that says this is a civil right and not a sin.  I do not support the view that rewrote the various DSM's (the Bible of the shrinks :) that seem to change with the culture. I do support the right of homosexuals to reject the transformational reparative therapy, but I sincerely believe everyone who wants to be delivered from this sin should be given every chance possible.

Here is some information for those who might be seeking such help:


My goal as A Christ Follower is for all who read this to be.... 

Blessed 2day... Especially 2day and Every day.
And 2 Experience The
Powerful

Grace Of God

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
