What is a Sodomite?
A sodomite is a person who practices sodomy--a homosexual. God's word doesn't use
such terms as "homosexual," "gay," and "lesbian." Some might argue that a sodomite
is nothing more than an inhabitant of Sodom, but God uses the word "sodomite" in
reference to homosexuals long after the ancient city of Sodom is destroyed (1 Kings
14:24; 15:12; 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7).
Isn't it more proper to refer to sodomites as "homosexuals" and "gays?"
No, because God refers to them as "sodomites." "Homosexual" is a neutral technical
term, while "gay" is a nice term that the sodomites have invented for themselves. Due
to the constant brainwashing tactics of Hollywood and the Media, "gay" has been
adapted by most everyone as the proper title for these people. To be "gay" is to be
"merry" and "joyful." To be a "sodomite" is to be wicked and sinful (Gen. 13:13). So
"gay" is certainly NOT the proper title. We are warned in Isaiah 5:20 that God is very
displeased with people who apply good words to evil things: "Woe unto them that call
evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Drunkards are not "chronic alcoholics,"
fornication is not "pre-marital sex," and sodomites are not "gay."
How do we know for certain that sodomy is a sin?
Because God's word declares it to be a sin, over and over again. The very first time
"Sodom" occurs in the Bible God sends us a sound warning: "But the men of Sodom
were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly." (Gen. 13:13) In Genesis
18:20, we are told that the sin of Sodom is "very grievous." Then in Genesis 19:4-7
we read of a case where the Sodomites seek sexual relations with a total stranger!
Shortly after this incident, God destroys their entire city because He couldn't find even
ten righteous people dwelling there.
Later, in the book of Leviticus, some very sharp warnings are given about sodomy.
Leviticus 18:22 says, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination." Then Leviticus 20:13 says, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth
with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put
to death; their blood shall be upon them." Webster defines an "abomination" as
"extreme hatred" and "detestation." That's how God feels about sodomites.
Hundreds of years later we read that sodomites are in the land and they are
committing "abominations" (1 Kings 14:24). King Asa, a good king over Judah,
did "that which was right in the eyes of the Lord" when he "took away the sodomites
out of the land" (1 Kings 15:11-12). Several years later there were still some
sodomites left in the land, so King Jehoshaphat, the son of King Asa, also did that
which was RIGHT in the eyes of the Lord by taking the sodomites OUT of the land (1
Kings 22:43-46). We also read that King Josiah did the "right" thing when he "brake
down the houses of the sodomites" (2 Kings 22:2; 23:7).
In Isaiah 3:9, God makes reference to the boldness of the people who commit this
grievous sin: "The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they
declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have
rewarded evil unto themselves." Is this not a perfect description of the modern day
sodomites who parade up and down the streets demanding their rights? Ezekiel 16:49
says that PRIDE is a chief sin of the sodomites. Perhaps this is why we read about
"Gay Pride" parades. Proverbs 16:18 says, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an
haughty spirit before a fall."
Some say only the Old Testament speaks against sodomy but that the New Testament
is silent about it. This is not true. The New Testament clearly condemns this sin.
Romans 1:21-27 speaks about the sodomites. Paul says they are vain in their
imaginations, they steal God's glory, they are foolish, unclean, vile, and against nature.
In II Peter 2:6, the word "ungodly" is used in connection with sodomy. Paul said in I
Corinthians 6:9 that these people would not inherit the kingdom of God.
Friend, sodomy is wicked in the eyes of God!
Don't most professionals agree that a person's sexual orientation is of biological
or genetic origin?
Yes, but they're dead wrong. The majority of professional people once believed the
earth to be flat. Were they right? The majority of astronomers once believed the stars
could be numbered. Were they right? The majority of scientists today believe that men
have evolved from monkeys. Are they right? In Genesis, the majority of the world
thought Noah was crazy. Were they right? The majority thought Jesus Christ should be
crucified. Were they right? Listen friend, if you're running with "the majority," then
you are on a collision coarse with the Devil! IGNORE THE MAJORITY! Just trust
God's word. God says that sodomy is WRONG, so it's wrong. Period.
Besides, there are many professional people in the medical field who believe that
sodomy is an acquired behavior. The book, Shadow In The Land, by Congressman
William Dannemeyer, cites several authors who disagree with the biological and
genetic theories. The following are among them:
"Homosexuality, the choice of a partner of the same sex for orgastic satisfaction, is not
innate. There is no connection between sexual instinct and choice of sexual object.
Such an object choice is acquired behavior; there is no inevitable genetically inborn
propensity toward the choice of a partner of either the same or opposite sex." (Charles
Socarides, Homosexuality: Basic Concepts and Psychodynamics, International
Journal of Psychiatry 10, 1972: 118-25)
"Whatever may be the possible unlearned assistance from constitutional sources, the
child's psychosexual identity is not written, unlearned, in the genetic code, the
hormonal system or the nervous system at birth." (John Monday, Sexual Dimorphism
and Homosexual Gender Identity, Perspectives in Human Sexuality, 1974, p. 67)
Doesn't the American Psychiatric Association consider sodomy to be normal?
Yes. In 1974, the APA removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders.
Naturally, the sodomites make a regular habit of informing us of this, but they fail to
inform us of HOW the APA came to this decision. Beginning in 1970, the sodomites
started invading the annual APA convention. Although not invited, they made it a
regular habit to burst into the annual meetings like uncivilized barbarians. Once in the
panel rooms they would resort to shouting and name calling, in hopes of intimidating
as many people as possible. They also found it effective to appeal for pity by whining
about their sad plight, which they compared to racial discrimination against blacks. By
much sympathy pleading and very little factual evidence, the sodomites won the
hearts of a few psychiatrists and also a panel of their own in 1973. Then after a very
effective letter campaign, the sodomites had applied enough pressure to seal their
victory. Finally, in a 58 to 40 vote, the APA decided to remove homosexuality from
their list of mental disorders in 1974.
Why not just leave the sodomites alone and let them live their own lives?
Because God hates this sin and He doesn't want it "left alone." Sin is like a
cancer: when ignored it spreads. As we've already seen from God's word, God
commends those who oppose sodomy, so we too need to speak out against this
abominable sin before it overwhelms us and destroys our nation like it destroyed
Sodom. No, we should not HATE the sodomites, but we should firmly oppose their
sin as the word of God commands us.
Can a sodomite be cured?
Man says, "No, because it isn't a disease," but God tells us there IS a cure, because
there is a cure for ALL SIN. God is willing to cleanse any person of this sin and forget
it forever! Some people have the strange idea that God cannot forgive certain sins, but
the Bible says otherwise!
1 John 1:7 says, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
Revelation 1:5 says, "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood."
Friend, Jesus Christ has the cure. You can ignore what the medical profession says
about there being no cure for homosexuality. There IS a cure, and YOU can have it
TODAY - if you'll confess to God that you're a sinner, repent of your sins (Luke 13:3),
and receive His Son as your one and only Saviour. Sin is sin, whether it be sodomy,
murder, stealing, lying, adultery, fornication, pride, rebellion, or anything else. All
have sinned and come short of God's glory (Rom. 3:23) because all have been born
with a sin nature (Rom. 5:12; Psa. 51:5). Jesus Christ shed His sinless blood and died
to pay for your sins and He rose again the third day for your justification. The Bible
says He'll save you if you'll RECEIVE Him as your Savior:
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation." (Rom. 10:9-10)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Rom. 10:13)
Friend, the decision is all your's. You can believe man and pretend that God made you
to be a sodomite, or you can believe God and ask Him to save your soul from Hell
through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
