LET GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY HUMAN BEING A LIAR (Rom. 3:4).

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).
