At the root
of the sins represented by the "LGB" in LGBTQ is some human beings
being deceived by the satanic assault against God's created order, which
God called good. After God created the first man, Adam, and placed him
in the Garden of Eden, He said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him" (Gen. 2:18). God did not make
another man for Adam because He judged that another man would not be
"suitable for him." Therefore, "the Lord God caused the man to fall into
a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, He took one of the man's ribs
and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from
the rib he had taken out of the man and he brought her to the man. . . .
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to
his wife, and they will become one flesh" (Gen. 2:21-22, 24). Having
made the husband and his wife according to His own will and purpose, God
blessed Adam and Eve and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth" (Gen. 1:28). God made Adam a wife, Eve, and, by
doing so, established the boundary of human sexual expression to be
between husbands and wives within the state of marriage.
At the
root of the sins represented by the "TQ" in LGBTQ is some human beings
being deceived by the satanic assault against God's sovereign right to
create human beings in his own image. During the first five days of
creation, God made the heavens and the earth, all vegetation and seed
bearing plants and trees each after its own kind, the sun and moon and
stars and the birds and sea creatures each after its own kind (Gen.
1:1-23). On the sixth day of creation after He created the land
creatures each after its own kind, "God created mankind in his own
image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created
them. . . . When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of
God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them
'Mankind' when they were created" (Gen. 1:27; 5:1-2).
In the
same way God made the sun to be and stay the sun and never to be or
become the moon; in the same way God made the grass to be and stay the
grass and never to be or become an apple tree or a live oak; in the same
way God created the eagle to be and stay an eagle and never to be or
become a dolphin; in the same way God created the monkey to be and stay a
monkey and never to be or become a human being; God also created man to
be and stay man and never to be or become woman. Likewise, God created
woman to be and stay woman and never to be or become man. God made human
beings exactly the way he wanted them to be and, by doing so,
established the boundary of human gender--boys being boys and girls
being girls; men being men and women being women. Any attempt by human
beings to deviate from God's created order is the very work of Satan
through human beings to destroy what God Almighty created and called
good. However, do not be dismayed. We have the promise of God's word to
encourage us: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps
what he sows" (Gal. 6:7).
