The Lord’s first public sermon has the emphasis on “repent.”
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:17
John the Baptist also tells us to “repent.”
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 3:2
In the day of Pentecost, Peter tells us to “repent.”
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38
The Word of God commands sinners to believe and “repent.”
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and thekingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15
The Word of God commands sinners to believe and “repent.”

The good news is that when a true conversion takes place, that person will repent and turn back to God; WE STOP SINNING!
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; 1 John 5:15
The problem is that most homosexuals want to continue living in unrepentant sin. Some are even claiming to be “Gay Christians” while also engaging in fornication. Demanding special rights to be married is evidence that they are in fact deceived and deceiving. Because of gay marriage and without repentance, many precious souls are going to perish. It is heartbreaking!
The argument that people are born gay is irrelevant. We are all born with a sinful nature. To enter into the kingdom of God, Jesus said that we "must be born again."
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:5-7
Those that participate in and/or support homosexual behavior need to be thanking Believers for boldly speaking the Word of God and helping them!
Instead, Believers are called names, wrongfully accused of judging, accused of using hate-language, etc. Some are demanding that Believers be silenced, that they reject what God has said in His Word regarding this behavior; and are trying to force the acceptance of unrepentant sin.
As with any sinner that outright refuses to repent, and those that defend sin: their problem is NOT with Believers, their problem is with God!
Amen.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 … Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Revelation 2:20-23 … Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. ❤
