Regarding recent events in Vermont and Supreme Court rulings regarding homosexuality, I would like to present a Biblical perspective.

A simple evaluation of human anatomy, no matter how unsophisticated, should convince any thinking person that men and women, not people of the same sex, are meant for marriage.

However, logic of that sort is not really what is at the root of homosexual perversion. The source is unregenerate man’s desperate attempt to flee from God. God created human beings with a free will. He did not create robots and that is something on which He will not renege. He created them to freely choose to accept His free gift of salvation, enter into fellowship with Him and then have the power (His power, not our own) to live His way. As the Bible teaches, and as I think even non-Christians will attest, most will choose their own way instead of God’s way. They do not want anybody, especially God, to tell them what they can or cannot do.

I Corinthians 2:14 explains this, “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.”

There you have the “bottom line.” Homosexuality is just one type of sin. All sins are not God’s way. Without repentance, all of them will result in a souls’ everlasting punishment.

All souls are eternal souls. It is just a matter of where you will spend eternity.
