I really want to share a recent news story with everyone. This story is about Omaha area ministers uniting in signing a proclamation regarding homosexuality. They feel that Christians owe the homosexual community an apology. (Are they apologizing for the Bible or for the One who wrote it?) I was going to include excerpts here on the blog until I noticed the following sentence at the bottom of the story...

I want to be very cautious in following these guidelines. Instead of publishing any part of this story I will just add the link to this post. I must say though that there is no fear of any of the ministers at Valley View signing this proclamation. These "Omaha area ministers" are either extremely ignorant of Biblical truth or they are intentionally rebellious.
It seems that many professing Christians either don't believe that by one man sin entered the world and sin has therefore been passed down from generation to generation or they have forgotten Biblical history. Yes, man was created in the image of God. However, man has sinned and is no longer perfect. This means that we cannot claim "God created them this way" as an excuse.
Can the murderer claim that God created him to be a murderer? Can the fornicator claim God created him to fornicate? Can the liar say that lying is perfectly acceptable because God created him to lie? How about the adulterer, pedophile, thief or spousal abuser?
No, sin is to blame! Don't be deceived, God is not mocked. Only one man was born perfect. That man didn't have an earthly father. Oh, and don't think I am referring to Adam, he was created - not born.
Romans 1:26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
Here it is...
