Jesus came to live the will of His Father, not do away with it.
John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Jesus came to promote His Father's on to others.
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Some will say that Jesus didn't teach against same sex relationships.
Let us go to the Scriptures for our answer to this statement.
What does the will of the Father say about homosexuality?
Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
The will of the Father says male and female are meant for each other, not men with men or woman with woman.
Did Jesus confirm this? Yes He did.
Mark 10:6-9 But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,and the two shall become one flesh so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Did Paul promote the will of the Father? Yes He did!
Acts 20:26-27 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.
What did Paul teach regarding homosexuality?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
So we can see from the Scriptures that Jesus did in fact teach that man and woman were created to be together, not man with man or woman with woman.
We must also understand that temptation is not sin because we know Jesus was tempted in all areas just like we are and yet He was without sin.
Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Temptation is when we desire to do things that are against the will of the Father.
What if we give in to a temptation?
First of all it's not what if we give in to temptation, but rather, when we give in to temptation. When we fall into sin, as a child of God, it will bring conviction and conviction will lead to confession and confession cleanses the soul.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 2:1-3 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
The problem today is not the fact that we fall into sin, the problem is that we are not calling sin sinful. We have come to the point in life were evil is good and good is evil.
Isaiah 5:20-21 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Remember, God calling something sin is not what makes it sinful, it's sinful because it distorts morality, destroys life and ruins relationships so God calls it sin. Even if God didn't judge sin, sin would still carry these consequences.
When Jesus comes back He is coming to remove all things that cause people to sin and all those who practice a lifestyle of sin.
Matthew 13:41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
God, at this very moment, is preparing a people for this day.
John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Jesus came to promote His Father's on to others.
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
