A Love Story on Homosexuality
This is a love story. Once upon a time... Years ago at many competitions I attended, I couldn't help but notice a couple that danced so beautifully together that I was so touched. I rated them almost top in the Latin division, second to a famous couple. Him and his wife I could see were up and coming champions. It was a beautiful family with 2 lovely daughters and a wonderful son. Then he chose to enter into a homosexual lifestyle and left his wife and children. Many years went by with him still a master in the ballroom dance field with teaching and performing with other new partners.
Lately I've been visiting him in the hospital. He's only in his 40's and it made me want to cry when I first saw him in intensive care. He had multiple tubes hooked up to him and I saw blood on the side of his mouth. His toes and hands were bluish black and his eyes rolled while in intensive care. He may lose some of his fingers and toes. Sometimes he is very cognizant and answers questions. Sometimes he can't speak or respond. The doctors removed his spleen. He's been in the hospital several times but this last visit has been about 2 weeks. The HIV has compromised his immune system causing him to be attacked by other diseases.
He has been receiving visitors including some of his students and truly loving friends. His best friend is such a devoted Christian who has constantly looked out his needs. Even his ex-wife and children are visiting him in the hospital. His father who was very upset with him leaving his wife and children, would not see him but recently changed his mind and started visiting him. His current lady dance partner has visited him daily for the last 2 weeks even though she's extremely busy with her husband, children and work. She is one of the most loving born again Christians I have seen. She comes into the room and up to his bed side asking him how he is today, telling him she loves him and calling him sweetie pie. I've seen her massage his feet and provide truly TLC from above. His close dance friends are born again Christians who also constantly visit him and pray for him.
The good news is that he made his peace with God just recently
while on life support system. He asked Jesus to forgive his sins and be his savior. Finally,
the doctors decided to pull the plug. Then, this
young man in his forties, lost his battle and passed away because of complications
with HIV that he had contracted when he choose to live a homosexual life style.
Unfortunately, sometimes we still suffer from the consequences of our sins. If my good dance friend had not left his wife and chosen the homosexual life style, I doubt he'd be dead now of HIV complications! Sometimes the truth hurts. Beware the kisses of an enemy but savor the rebukes of a friend. If a loving father tells his children not to play in the street, maybe it's for their own good. The child might say "if you love me, you'll let me do what I want". Perhaps an enemy of the child might tell them that if your father loves you, he would let you do what you want because a loving father wouldn't tell you that's wrong.
The God of the Bible says homosexuality is wrong. But he also says sex outside of marriage is wrong. He also says lying is wrong. But we all do wrong things. That's why we need a savior, Jesus Christ. Even if we go to church and are perfect we need to be saved. But no one can be perfect. Does anyone obey the 10 commandments? Well there are over 600 commandments we are supposed to follow. That's why God Almighty died for our sins. Mother Theresa did wonderful works. But even she did not get to heaven on her good works. She also needed Jesus as her savior.
God pleads with us: "Why must you die? I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Turn from your sins that I may save you." A loving God shows us what's right and wrong. It's up to us to choose right or wrong, life or death. Some say that God loves me and accepts me as I am; that a loving God understands. But the Bible teaches that one who loves God will obey His commandments: John 14:21..."Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me."
Sometimes the truth hurts. Do you want to know the truth? Do you want to know the truth about HIV? What about safe sex? Fact: Do you know that condoms or rubber gloves have microscopic holes called pores? These pores are the size of 5 microns. Do you know the size of HIV virus? One tenth of a micron! Do you know how long the HIV lives outside the body? One week on a dry surface. Two weeks in a liquid! The chlorine in swimming pools will not kill it! If you don't believe this I suggest you look at the evidence and get a copy of a book AIDS: What the Government isn't Telling You, written by Dr. Lorraine Day, M.D., Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital. She has operated on more AIDS patients than any surgeon in the country. (click here for The Truth About AIDS)
The Old and New Testament teach what is right and wrong. A
loving God tells us homosexuality is wrong. Some say they were born a homosexual
and God made them that way. It's true we are all born sinners, not that God made
us that way, but because we are given free choice and our nature is to do wrong
things. Look at a child. They naturally are selfish and grab their toy and say
mine! They must be trained to do the right things. God does not contradict
Himself in the Bible. He would not make someone a homosexual if He condemns
homosexually and would judge the person and execute them for this sin! Read for yourself what the Bible
teaches: Leviticus18:22..."Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is
detestable." Leviticus 20:13..."If a man lies with a man as one lies
with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to
death; their blood will be on their own heads." 1Corinthians
9:6-10..."Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of
GOD? Do
not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral ... nor homosexual offenders ...
will inherit the kingdom of God."
Again, and over and over again, God pleads with us: "Why must you die? I take no pleasure
in the death of the wicked. Turn from your sins that I may save you."
So if you do want His help, if you do want Him as your personal Friend &
Savior, then click on: Lord Jesus!
I want you as my friend & Savior!
May God bless you!
