Romans 1:24-27 | Genesis 1:27 | 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
We live in a world that’s lost its mind and thrown away its soul. A world that’s decided feelings are more authoritative than facts, and “your truth” is more sacred than THE truth. We’ve taken the image of God, spit on it, and called it self-expression. We’ve replaced biology with ideology, and in doing so, we’ve declared war on the God who created us.
This isn’t about hate. This is about truth.
And the truth is God does not make mistakes.
“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
— Genesis 1:27
From the very beginning, God made two genders. Not fifty. Not fluid. Not up for grabs. Male. Female. Period. That’s not a cultural opinion. That’s divine design. It’s not based on how you feel on a Tuesday morning. It’s based on what God stamped into your very DNA.
You don’t get to rewrite creation. You don’t get to un-author God.
“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie…”
— Romans 1:25
Our culture has taken Romans 1 and turned it into a how-to manual. It tells people to follow their feelings and mutilate their bodies in the name of authenticity.
What God calls sin, the world calls “brave.”
What God says is confusion, the world calls “freedom.”
And what God says leads to death, the world puts on parade floats and calls it pride.
That’s not liberation. That’s rebellion.
Don’t misunderstand me.
Love doesn’t mean approval.
Love doesn’t mean silence.
And real love doesn’t stand by while people run full speed toward hell.
“Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral… nor men who have sex with men… will inherit the kingdom of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
That’s the Word of God. Not a sermon clip. Not a denominational stance. That’s the holy, eternal, unchanging Word of God.
But don’t stop at verse 10.
“And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ…”
— 1 Corinthians 6:11
There’s hope. There’s grace. There’s forgiveness.
But there’s no forgiveness without repentance.
You can’t cling to your sin with one hand and try to hold Christ with the other.
Too many pulpits have gone soft. Too many Christians are terrified of offending someone’s feelings while ignoring the fact that God is offended by their sin.
Jesus didn’t die to affirm your identity.
He died to transform it.
You don’t get to keep your pronouns and your cross. You don’t get to drag your sin into the Kingdom and demand God accept it. This isn’t Burger King, you don’t get salvation your way.
Christ calls all sinners to repentance, liars, thieves, drunkards, religious hypocrites, adulterers, and yes, the LGBTQ community. Nobody is beyond the reach of grace. But grace never leaves anyone the way it found them.
If you’re reading this and you identify as LGBTQ, hear me clearly.
You are not hated.
You are not unwanted.
You are not beyond saving.
But you must repent.
Not just “come as you are”, but leave as someone new.
The same Gospel that saves the liar saves the lesbian. The same blood that covers the thief can wash clean the transgender individual. But only if you come to Christ on His terms, not yours.
Truth Isn’t Hate. Lies Are.
If your version of “love” tells people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear, you’re not loving them, you’re damning them gently.
We don’t hate trans people. We don’t hate anyone in the LGBTQ community.
But we refuse to lie to them, because eternity is too long to be wrong.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
— John 14:6
If this ticks you off, take it up with the Author.
I’m just the messenger.
