The document discusses the moral implications of homosexuality, indicating it as a sin and a choice rather than an inherent trait. It critiques the lack of teaching on marriage and purity in society, suggesting that societal acceptance of same-sex marriage has rapidly changed due to lobbying by the LGBT community. The author calls for prayer, education, and advocacy against the normalization of homosexuality, emphasizing the importance of biblical teachings on the subject.

1. A battle for the ages
By
Brian Birdow
Sermon text: Romans 1:26-32

2. A lack of teaching
• When parents and society as a whole fail to
teach about the sanctity of marriage and to
keep one self pure of fornication then
whatever pleases the flesh men and women
will do!
• A lack of teaching often results in
experimentation!

3. Our Nation!
• 37 states have legal same sex marriage!
• This is a far cry from 15 years ago!
• Majority of Americans were against same sex
marriage. But the LGBT community has so lobbied
and influenced people that many sadly see no
reason as to why they cannot marry like to
heterosexuals.

4. Our Nation
• Supreme court ruling expected to handed
down in June of 2015>>>>next month in
regards to homosexuality and should it be
legal!
• Remember ROME it self decayed!

5. Cause of Homosexuality
• Some say I am born this way.
• Psychological aberations
• Hormonal imbalance
• Genetic problems (Chromosome variations)

6. Are people “born” homosexual?
• God created man in HIS own image (Gen.1&2)
• Man was created without sin
• If man were created by God as a sinner in
God’s own image, logicallylogically this would mean
God is a sinner and therefore is no longer
GOD!

7. SIN
• Homosexuality is a sin
• Sin is a choice
• Not an inheritance
• If sin were an inheritance there would be
no justice, there would be no GOD!

8. Researchers say….
• Pritchards study of male homosexuals found
a normal compliment of X Y chromosomes in
every case! (Journal of Medical Science)
• American Psychiatric Association voted to
remove homosexuality from its list of mental
illnesses.

9. Researchers say….
• Masters and Johnson concluded that homosexuality
for most persons is neither physical nor an emotional
illness nor a genetic disorder, but rather is a form of
learned behavior.
• Dr. Jerry Bergman stated “It is not understood exactly
what learning produces a gay sexual orientation, but
because this behavior is learned, quite possibly it
could be learned from other homosexuals.

10. GOD
• Homosexuality is not viewed as a medical
issue; rather it is a moral problem in the
sacred Scriptures!
• Genesis 19
• 2 Peter 2:6-8

11. God and homosexuality
• Leviticus 18:15-22
• Galatians 5:19-22
• Revelation 21:8
• Romans 1:26-32

12. Romans 1:26-32
Sodomy is characterized as:
a) The result of VILE passions
b) A perversion from the natural to that which is
against nature (God created us a certain way!)
c) Lust causing males to burn females and females
for females
d) Unseemliness
e) Error that was due recompense

13. Matter of Rights
• It is my private life! Stay out of it!
• Not true they lobby and promote and want to
teach our children!
• Some say “The rights of all must be
protected”.

14. Matter of Rights
• Do you want you’re the teacher of your child to
promote bestiality or incest? Should those who lobby
for incest be denied the “rights” to teach children?
What would the homosexual say?
• It is not just public acceptance they want! TRUTH: If
you think I am a sinner because I am a homosexual
you are hateful!
• Remember>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hate speech is a
crime!

15. What shall we do?
TEACH THE GOSPEL MESSAGE!
• 1 Corinthians 6:9 Know you not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of
God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind,
• 1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.

16. What shall we do
• 1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of
you: but you are washed, but you are
sanctified, but you are justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
• Acts 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the
synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his
house; and many of the Corinthians hearing
believed, and were baptized.

17. What can we do?
• Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray
• Fast, Fast, Fast, Fast
• Write our rep. Call our rep.
• Teach & inform others of what is going on!

18. PRAYER
• 1 Timothy 2:1-3 I exhort therefore, that, first
of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
• For kings, and for all that are in authority; that
we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.
• For this is good and acceptable in the sight of
God our Savior;
