My Son Is Gay So Now It Is Okay?

My Son Is Gay So Now It Is Okay?

Ohio Senator Rob Portman has decided that his opposition to “gay marriage” is not something that should be embraced. "I've come to the conclusion that for me, personally, I think this is something that we should allow people to do, to get married, and to have the joy and stability of marriage that I've had for over 26 years. That I want all of my children to have, including our son, who is gay," said Portman. Portman further explained that his son told him that “he was gay, and that it was not a choice, and that it's just part of who he is, and that's who he'd been that way for as long as he could remember.” (cnn.com)

Senator Portman’s “change of heart” and the continued promotion by all things from the liberal press seem to give more legality and acceptance to homosexuality. This is headline news when someone accepts the perversion of sexual deviance rather than expounding upon those who oppose the desecration of the bond of marriage as God created. The ironic tragedy of these kinds of promotions is likened to a man shooting holes in his boat and believing that with each shot he will make his world a better place. With each removal of the character of God in our society will only bring ruin and tragedy. History is the template to examine to see this is true.

Our country is in a sinking ship with the tide of time washing over the sides filling it with the immoral desires of those who want freedom and liberty to do as they please. The lie portrayed by the “father of lies” (John 8:44) is that homosexuals are born that way because God created them to have that desire. It is easy to explain away the perversion of the flesh as simply a fulfillment of a natural cause within a person as if God intended there to be a relationship of the same sex. Biologically that is nonsense because the human body of both male and female was created to be compatible. Paul defined the perversion of homosexuality as “dishonor their bodies among themselves …  vile passions … exchanged the natural use for what is against nature … men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due” (Romans 1:24-27).

Why is it that homosexuals are “born that way” but this does not apply to pedophiles, murderers, serial killers, rapists and so forth? Only the homosexual is born that way it seems. But then this makes God a liar because if God created the homosexual and then turns around and condemns it in scripture (Romans 1:21-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Galatians 5:19-21) then God has lied. If God has lied then the whole of the Bible is a lie and our faith if futile and “are of all men the most pitiable” (1 Corinthians 15:19).

Belief cannot be measured by the actions of our children. If Senator Portman really believed homosexuality was wrong before is not certain. But to have a “change of heart” because now his son has proclaimed his perversion does not change the leopard’s spots. The Supreme Court, President of the United States nor you or I will change the mind of God. His word is established in Heaven and man cannot change that. The mercy of God and grace of God is extended to all men including those who pervert the natural use of the body. Who we are is who God wants us to be!
