When God is Made the Servant of Lesbian Lust

A recent front-page story in our local newspaper hailed the upcoming wedding of two lesbian women in our county who are travelling to Canada for their ceremony. The younger of the two women boldly declared, "How can love ever be wrong? I think God would take up a fight for me on that one. He’d be on my side." Would He? In a recent article written for my congregation, I examine the difference between biblical love and unbridled lust. Is God really in favor of lesbian love?

I guess it's not just cheap drugs you can get in Canada.

“How can love ever be wrong? I think God would take up a fight for me on that one. He’d be on my side.”

Says one of the two lebsians.

Worshiping a God of their own making.

Didn’t God create those two women, knowing they were going to fall in love?

[ecomcon]

The point is that it is sinful lust, not love.

[utherdoul]

I personally think god automated the process a few hundred thousand years ago and he just puts his head in his hands and drinks heavily when he sees the mistakes.

[Vision]

Probably not. And until he speaks again, I’ll go with his past work.

[svcw]

It is my experience that homosexuals do not know the difference between love and lust.

[Vision]

That’s because sin has dulled their senses.

[svcw]

Very good point.

[sirchtruth]

Didn’t God create those two women, knowing they were going to fall in love?

Yeah, So what? Are you implying your ignorance about God's character, or are you just plain ignorant about what God expects from his creation?

[Eagle Eye]

He also gave them free will and the opportunity to know and do what is right.

[tomkat]

I tend to agree with some version or other of your theory.

He/She/It did some really outstanding self-sustaining cosmologic and macro-mechanical stuff,
but this whole humanity thing seems to have needed s'more beta testing prior to realease . . .

[stuartcr]

Then sustitute sinful lust for love...didn’t God know what they were going to do, and He still created them?

[stuartcr]

I don’t believe that God makes mistakes.

[stuartcr]

You don’t believe that God knows His creations are going to do?

[stuartcr]

Of course I do not know God’s character, I’m just a man, with beliefs.

Are you saying you know the character of God and what He expects from His creations?

[stuartcr]

Do you believe God has a plan for each of us that He creates?

[tioga]

God does not make mistakes, we do. It is called sin. Jesus came to earth and died on a cross to cover our sins.

[stuartcr]

If God created us with a plan for each of us, knows what we are going to do, and cannot make mistakes...then how can anything we do, not be part of His plan? and not be what He infallibly knows we are going to do?

[William Terrell]

From all the observable evidence, God creates human beings with challenges to be overcome by faith and the strength from faith, thereby growing and becoming a greater expression of His creation.

In the case of psychological problems, like the tendency toward homosexuality, it's easy to see they're merely challenges to be dealt with, not alternative states of being; the tendency is antithetical to the God's paradigm for physical mammals, observable by anyone in material reality.

Except, of course, by some of those who find it easier succumb to the trials rather than experience the sacrifice necessary to grow beyond their lusts.
