Homosexuality
The truth revealed!
by James Hoskison
I recently sent my book A Sermon to remember to someone whom wrote me back saying that he was upset about what I put in my book about homosexuality.
If you see a man walking towards an open manhole do you just stand there and watch him fall? Or do you try and warn him before it is too late?!?
One of my best friends, whom I grew up with, and whom even dated my sister, went into the navy, and when he came out I was astonished to find out that not only was he gay, but that he had married another man.
Is he still my friend? Of course! A true friend does not judge a friend and evade him for his sins, he stands firm in his beliefs and offers some advice, then the final decision is that of the friend to take or leave.
Here is an excerpt from my book A SERMON TO REMEMBER, the bible verses are included so that nobody can say I am wrong.
The bible says "test all that is said to be sure it is true" how do we test this? we check the bible, so I ask you ---> do you really love the Lord? do you really want the truth? If so then read this and check the verses against your bible. "you shall know the truth- and the truth shall set you free!" John 10:10
When you pray and ask for forgiveness from the bottom of your heart, then it is truly
forgiven. In I John 1:9 The New Testament says "If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"
So again I say "Get rid of condemnation" He did not come to condemn us, but to
deliver us from evil. In John 3:17 the New Testament says "for God did not send his
son to this world to condemn it, but that the world through him might be saved".
God hates sin, but he loves the sinner, he hates theft, but loves the thief, he hates
homosexuality, but loves the homosexual, however, if you die in that sin, then he hates
what you were and all is lost.
Sin evolves in many different ways; it can be from an act of anger which causes us
to curse at someone or hit them, even our own spouse or children. It can evolve
from lust which leads to fornication, adultery and many other types of sex sins.
(You can read about the many different types of sex sins in the Old Testament in
Exodus chapter 21 to 24, Leviticus chapters 15 & 18, Deuteronomy
22:13-30,23:21-23 as well as in the New Testament which tells us time and time
again that Homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of heaven Gal 5:21).
Remember my friend that in Matthew 7:13 Jesus says "Heaven can only be
entered through the narrow gate! The highway to Hell is broad and it's gate
is wide enough for all of the multitudes who choose it's easy way. But the
gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow and only a few ever find it!"
Also in Luke 13:24 the bible says "The door to Heaven is narrow. Work hard
to get in, for the truth is many will try to enter but when the head of the
household has locked the door it will be too late. Then if you stand outside
knocking and pleading saying "Lord, open the door for us," he will reply "I
do not know you!"
By reading these two different examples that our precious Lord Jesus Christ gave
to us out of his very own mouth we see that we must walk the straight and narrow
road of righteousness in order to make it into narrow gate, or door, to Heaven.
Just because we go to Church and pay our tithes and offerings does not mean
that we are going to Heaven. You cannot buy your way into the pearly gates, you
must earn that ticket!
In John 10:1-2 Jesus himself said "Anyone refusing to walk through the gate
into a sheepfold, who sneaks over the wall, or climbs up some other way
must surely be a thief and a robber! For a shepherd comes through the
gate."
What does Jesus mean by this parable? First of all, lets examine this part of it:
"He who sneaks over the wall must surely be a thief!, for a shepherd comes
through the gate."
By this Jesus is saying that you must do all that is right in order to make it through
the narrow gate of heaven. You can't try to lie your way into heaven, because God
see's, and knows all! You can't cheat, steal, or fake your way into heaven.
Only the righteous who walk the straight and narrow road will be allowed through
the pearly gates. Only those who lived Godly lives, or Christ-like, will be allowed
through those pearly gates.
Jesus did not drink and party all of the time, no, not at all! Jesus did not curse at
someone for stepping on his toe's, nor did he fight, argue, lie, steal, cheat, gossip,
murmur and complain! Jesus Christ was without sin, and unless we do our best to
imitate him, we shall not make it through those pearly gates.
You may say "I am a Christian" but are you? You can fool some people, you
may even be able to fool the Church congregation, and perhaps even the Pastor of
the Church, but you cannot fool God, whom is all knowing, all seeing!
In Jude 1:4-23 the bible says "I say this because some Godless teachers
have wormed their way in among you, saying that after we become
Christians we can do just as we like without fear of God's punishment.
The fate of such people was written long ago, for they have turned against
our only master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
My answer to them is: Remember this fact--which you already know--that
the Lord saved a whole nation of people out of the land of Egypt, and then
killed every one of them who did not trust and obey him.
And I remind you of those Angels who were once pure and holy, but
willingly turned to a life of sin. Now God has them chained up in a prison of
darkness, waiting for the judgment day.
And don't forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring
towns, all full of lust of every kind including lust of men for other men
(homosexuals). Those cities were destroyed by fire and continue to be a
warning to us that there is a hell where sinners are punished.
Yet these false teachers go on living their evil, immoral lives, degrading
their bodies and laughing at those in authority over them, even scoffing at
the glorious ones.
Yet Michael, one of the mightiest of the Angels, when he was arguing with
Satan about Moses' body, did not dare to accuse Satan, or jeer at him, but
simply said "The Lord rebuke you."
But these men mock and curse at anything that they do not know or
understand, and, like animals, they do whatever they feel like, thereby
ruining their souls.
Woe upon them! For they follow the example of Cain who killed his
brother; and, like Balaam, they will do anything for money; and like Korah,
they have disobeyed God in the hope of gain and they will die under his
curse.
When these men join you at the love feasts of the Church, they are evil
smears among you, laughing and carrying on, gorging and stuffing
themselves without a thought for others. They are like clouds blowing over
dry land without giving rain, promising much, but producing nothing. They
are like fruit tree's without any fruit at picking time. They are not only dead,
but double dead, for they have been pulled out, roots and all, to be burned.
All they leave behind them is shame and disgrace like the dirty foam left
along the beach by the wild waves. They wander around looking as bright
as stars, but ahead of them is the everlasting gloom and darkness that God
has prepared for them.
Enoch, who lived long ago, soon after Adam, knew about these men and
said this about them: "See, the Lord is coming with millions of his Holy
ones. He will bring the people of the world before him in judgment, to
receive just punishment, and to prove the terrible things that they have
done in rebellion against God, revealing all that they have said against him."
These men are constant gripers, never satisfied, doing whatever evil they
feel like; they are loud mouthed "show-off's," and when they show respect
for others, it is only to get something from them in return.
Dear friends, remember what the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told
you, That in the last days there would come these scoffers whose whole
purpose in life is to enjoy themselves in every evil way imaginable.
They stir up arguments; they love the evil things of this world; they do not
have the Holy Spirit living in them."
"But you, dear friends, must build up your lives ever more strongly upon
the foundation of our Holy faith, learning to pray in the power and strength
of the Holy Spirit.
Stay always within the boundaries where God's love can reach and bless
you. Wait patiently for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his
mercy is going to give you.
Try to help those who argue against you. Be merciful to those who doubt.
Save some by snatching them from the very flames of hell itself. And as for
others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them, but be careful that
you yourselves aren't pulled along into their sins. hate every trace of their
sin while being merciful to them as sinners."
Whoa! was that heavy or what? Lets back up a second here and recap a little of
this, shall we?
"Godless teachers have wormed their way in among you" This has been
going on since Jesus' death, and continues today. People who say that you can sin
all that you want to as long as you pray for forgiveness. They say "You can drink,
just pray the next day and ask for forgiveness" WRONG! The bible says time and
time again, in the New Testament, that drunks, and wild partiers will have NO PART
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!
Don't get mad yet, I have only just begun, so hang in here and get a little religion,
real religion!
I love you, just as Jesus does, so I must open your eyes before it is too late, and I
do believe that were running out of time quickly!
Alot of preachers will hold back the truth, there are certain touchy subjects that
they prefer to leave be, so as to not upset anyone or hurt any feelings, I mean God
forbid they tell the congregation the truth and have them get up and leave, never to
come back again.
What they do not realize is that by being kind they are killing you! I know how
they feel, I have been there myself, afraid to tell someone who asks the truth, afraid
that they won't be able to handle it and they will return to Satans playground, but I
gently give my input, so as to try and tell them the truth, and then, the choice is
theirs.
You may have noticed that the end of Jude there said "Save some by
snatching them from the very flames of Hell itself!" well my friend, that is what
I hope to do here.
Lets cover one subject at a time, and if you disagree, send me a letter and we will
talk about this.
If once Holy Angels are awaiting punishment for turning to a life of sin, then do
you think we are going to slide by without a scratch? Of course not!
Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? Because of Homosexuality, wild
parties, and many other disgusting sins. In fact, the men of Sodom used to rape
other men, Hence the term "Sodomy".
I have heard of Gay marriages, taking place in modern day churches, God help
the ignorant priest whom bound that vow! It would be better for that priest, if you
want to call him that, because in God's eyes I can guarantee you that he is NOT!
It would be better for that man whom married the homosexuals in a church of God if
a stone were tied around his neck and he was drowned in the ocean.
It would be better for him if he were not even born!
In Matthew 18:6 Jesus warned against those who cause his children to stumble,
he said "But if anyone causes one of these to stumble, it would be better for
him if a rock (millstone) were tied around his neck and he were drowned in
the depth of the sea."
These wanna'be Preachers that say Gay rights, and Gay marriage is all right are
liars and the truth ain't in them! By allowing such weddings they are sending out a
message to the world that it is acceptable, when in fact it is not!
Am I prejudice? NO! One of my best friends that I grew up with, and in fact dated
my sister and was like a son to my parents, went in the navy and came back gay. I
love him with all of my heart, but he will be getting a copy of this book!
I must try and snatch him, as well as any others who are willing to listen to the
truth, from the fiery pits of hell!
In I Corinthians 6:9-10 the New Testament reads "Don't you know that those
doing such things have no share in the kingdom of God? Don't fool
yourselves! Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshipers,
adulterer or HOMOSEXUALS, will have NO SHARE in his KINGDOM. Neither
will thieves or greedy people, drunkards, slandermongers, or robbers."
HELLO! Are you still with me? I thought so, because a real Christian wants to
know the truth, and I praise you for your patience.
If you have a friend or a loved one that is a homosexual, then I suggest that you
either send them a copy of this book, or read that bible verse to them, or one day
soon they may be asking you from the hot, flaming pits of hell why you did not warn
them!
Now, for the next issue; I have heard that there is a local church that put in an
alter for White Witchcraft. Are we like totally losing our freaking minds or what? In
Deuteronomy 18:10-13 God said "There shall not be found among you anyone
that makes his son or daughter to pass through the fire, or that practices
divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts
spells, or who is a medium or spiritualist or who consults the dead. Anyone
who does these things is detestable to the Lord." Now I do not know what
bible that church is using, but if it is a King James Version, then I suggest that they
go out and buy a new one because "THAT ONE IS MISSING A FEW PAGES!"
And remember that Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I have come to
destroy the laws of the old testament, or to cancel them, but to fulfill them!"
He did not come to change the old laws at all, and every one of them is still as
important as it ever was.
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it!
And speaking of a dirty job, what is all this fuss about all of our President's having
several affairs? never mind their personal life, why are they backing Gay rights?
Have they no sense of loyalty? perhaps they should read the bible themselves,
seems it would keep him out of alot of whitewater! OOP's , he he, hot water, yeah,
yeah, that's it!
This world is falling apart at the seems and nobody seems to have enough
courage to put people in their place! We might be able to buy a little more time if we
get it together!
I even heard that it is wrong to pray in public schools! yeah, that's the ticket! The
heck with the big guy up there who protected this country through two world wars,
and desert storm, who needs him? I DO! That's who!
