Joel Osteen: scripture clear on gay marriage

Pastor Joel Osteen talks to Piers Morgan about his view on gay marriage, and says the scripture will not change.

[@user-tr2qq6hh2t]

It’s annoying that people love to ask preachers this. You know what the bible says

[@gankstar2000]

It's because this particular sin is celebrated and promoted in the world. Also it's the end times so people are naturally going to focus on these types of subjects.

[@mariefloyd6174]

To me, this is just their way of trying to squeeze it in. Meaning, any person who is gay and/or any person who supports homosexuality can find out what the bible really says about this. If man is willing to make medicine to keep the HIV virus at bay because homosexuals want to sleep 😴 together, then you know that this is a sickness that man wants to live in and keep alive.

[@mariefloyd6174]

That's what I believe will happen as a result. All they have to do is challenge anyone who says that it's an abomination. They're too afraid to get the truth by reading the word. They would rather dig excuses on why they should continue to remain a homosexual.

[@ravenarellano8415]

"shouldn't the scripture be.." Stop right there. God doesn't adjust his word to mold to us. We need to adjust ourselves to mold to Him. Btw just wanna be clear- I still think Joel Osteen sadly preaches a false gospel and I do not agree with his theology

[@raynaidoo8151]

Morgan is right Christ Teachings are meant to move with the times. That why He taught in parable so they transcend a time, place and socio-economic setting. However homosexuality is not a new phenomenon, it existed in Bible times (sodom n gomorrah). This type of relationship is not accepted because it goes against the blessing given to mankind in the Garden of Eden which is to be fruitful n Multiply, like everything else God created. N homosexual relationship cannot bring about multiplication. Since natural instinct is too survive, human being are not being natural if they do things that will end thier species, even Richard Dawkins talks about the selfish gene which allows species to ensure thier survival. Why is the greater population bei g forced to accept something unnatural.

[@ronaldwest2264]

@@stevemclendsy9478 I know what you are implying. That because God supposedly wrote an Old and New Testament, that His word is somehow supposed to float along and change with the world. But the world belongs to Satan (until Armageddon), and Satan wants every single one of us to die in sin and not accept God as the ultimate authority, and be condemned. But God's word and righteous decrees never change and it is impossible for God to lie. God didn't create the New Testament, man did. All of it, the Christian-Greek scriptures (Old Testament) and the Hebrew scriptures (New Testament) are all God's word, and everything fits and supports the early and the newer scriptures. Roman's 1:26-32, which condemns those who practice homosexuality, among all other egregious sins, to DEATH, is in the so-called New Testament. Same with Romans 5:12 from the so-called New Testament... That is why, just as through one man (Adam), sin entered into the world and death thru sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned. This is a direct connection, making reference to Genesis in the so-called Old Testament, where Adam and Eve, who were perfect human creations of God, and who would have lived forever on Earth had they not sinned. They CHOSE to disobey a direct command from God to NOT eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad, and the penalty was the loss of perfection and eventual death because Eve believed the first recorded lie from Satan, when he said... you positively will not die, instead of God, and Adam believed his wife instead of God. They both started to die on the same day that God pronounced Judgement on them. Adam and Eve sinned and were banished from the Garden of Eden before they had any children, so sin and death spread through all their offspring, right down to this day. That's why we grow old and die. God's Kingdom is the cure and we can get there if we accept Jesus as God's son today while there is still time, and whose perfect blood bought back the perfection for sinful mankind that Adam lost, and repent so as to get our sins blotted out, and enter God's Kingdom on a restored paradise Earth, either thru surviving Armageddon or being resurrected if we die before Armageddon. Either way, we are saved and written into The Book of Life, provided that we accept Jesus as the way and the truth and the life that reconciles us back to God, and repent and cease from practicing sins, and we will be able to enter God's Kingdom and live forever on a paradise Earth. Psalm 37:10, 11, 29 Giving up disgusting sexual acts today in order to live forever, is a small price to pay.

[@kevinboone2178]

Religion is fine, except when it isn't. Christians should stop preaching heresies and blasphemies about homosexuality, as the scriptures addressing it have a CONTEXT. Without it, one "tells the truth while telling lies" (my quote). To understand the “men sleeping with men” (MSWM), and related scriptures, two analogies are helpful: 1. “An ax murder isn’t about the ax.” 2. There’s a “distinction with a difference” between “homosexuality & homosexual,” and, “heterosexuality & heterosexual,” each one. It’s why homosexuals often have children the old-fashioned way (heterosexuality), and incarcerated heterosexuals often have sexual relations with their sex (homosexuality), for example. With context we’d learn: Why heterosexual men are their exclusive focus; why women play a tangential role; why Ancient Greek custom, and Ancient Roman law, condoned male homosexuality under certain conditions; why death was proscribed for practicing it under limited circumstances; why the biblical references to “man’s inhospitality to man” includes heterosexual males illicitly “knowing” men and women (“carnal knowledge”/rape); why the prophets were concerned about homosexuality; why beginning in the 12th century the Roman Catholic Church started falsely teaching that the Sodom & Gomorrah story was about homosexuals; why neither the word ABOMINATION, nor any term as harsh, is in the original Biblical documents, which were written in Classical Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Aramaic and, in its first translation, in Kione Greek. Etc. Understanding those specific scriptures requires knowing something about those languages, the problems of translation, literary devices, the history of sexuality in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and the Ancient Roman World --- the areas in which the anthology of biblical stories take place, and the biological prerogatives of human sexuality. Theologians, ministers, and lay people must do the demanding work to discern truth. With due respect.

So be it.” 23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children. 29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.’”

A question: Some Christians say homosexuality or living your homosexuality (so does this preacher) is a sin. Sin is a disobey to a "divine rule". Where in the Bible is God saying that he is putting a rule against homosexuality or homosexual life? In Leviticus the Hebrews made up their rules to be different to the Canaan’s in Canaan while expanding in the land, and to give their human made rules more impact in difficult times they called them “divine rules”, but they are not divine. Or in the Corinthian or Roman letters of Paulus, he declares in a very confused way his rules to his communities to keep them together as they were about to break apart in the else wise cultural Corinth. Also, he declared his rules to “divine rules” to give them more political impact, but they are not. So where?

For the bible? Also gives the same death penalty punishment for adulterers as it does for homosexuals and the bible? Actually condemns adultery a hundred verses to each single verse against homosexuality. And another interesting thing is? Jesus never ONCE spoke against homosexuality, but he sure did against adultery now didn't he? But you would not know this with the lack of condemnation by Christians against adultery. Maybe it is because? They all have huge logs in their eyes because they are adulterers, or supporters and defenders of adulterers, like say Donald J Trump while they scream about the motes in the eyes of homosexuality.

[@kevinboone2178]

I appreciate that, Rev. Dr. Okemba. Religion is fine, except when it isn't. Christians should stop preaching heresies and blasphemies about homosexuality, as the scriptures addressing it have a CONTEXT. Without it, one "tells the truth while telling lies" (my quote). To understand the “men sleeping with men” (MSWM), and related scriptures, two analogies are helpful: 1. “An ax murder isn’t about the ax.” 2. There’s a “distinction with a difference” between “homosexuality & homosexual,” and, “heterosexuality & heterosexual,” each one. It’s why homosexuals often have children the old-fashioned way (heterosexuality), and incarcerated heterosexuals often have sexual relations with their sex (homosexuality), for example. With context we’d learn: Why heterosexual men are their exclusive focus; why women play a tangential role; why Ancient Greek custom, and Ancient Roman law, condoned male homosexuality under certain conditions; why death was proscribed for practicing it under limited circumstances; why the biblical references to “man’s inhospitality to man” includes heterosexual males illicitly “knowing” men and women (“carnal knowledge”/rape); why the prophets were concerned about homosexuality; why beginning in the 12th century the Roman Catholic Church started falsely teaching that the Sodom & Gomorrah story was about homosexuals; why neither the word ABOMINATION, nor any term as harsh, is in the original Biblical documents, which were written in Classical Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Aramaic and, in its first translation, in Kione Greek. Etc. Understanding those specific scriptures requires knowing something about those languages, the problems of translation, literary devices, the history of sexuality in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and the Ancient Roman World --- the areas in which the anthology of biblical stories take place, and the biological prerogatives of human sexuality. Theologians, ministers, and lay people must do the demanding work to discern truth. With due respect.

[@ProtoGlenn]

@@freddie171 Hebrews 13, in context of "brotherly love"(relationship SPECIFICALLY between MALES), marriage is honorable unto all and that only whoredom and adultery defile the bed. Paul mirrors this in Romans 12, where he literally says it is honorable to prefer one another in brotherly love. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Also supported in 1 Tim 4, where Paul warns against searing the conscience of each other and forbidding marriage. The law concerning who can make a vow with who, states that you(law addresses men) can make a vow with a male or female, so long as they aren't prostitutes. Hence why only adultery and whoredom defile the bed. There is zero scripture condemning homosexuality anywhere. Unless you judge ignorantly by appearances, which false "Christian" apologetics seems advocate. All their apologetic nonsense actually surrounds whoredom to false gods, and not an actual homosexual relationship of any sort.

[@leoinsf]

We are in an age where PEOPLE are starting to be seen as more important than COMMANDMENTS and SCRIPTURE. Jesus represented love, charity, and acceptance and His message of love went beyond words in a book! Our young people use common sense in defining the world around them and the life they need to live. Unlike their parents who allowed themselves to be "scared" into thinking like their priests and ministers, young people are secure within themselves. A religion that attempts to separate themselves from science and bases everything on scripture and the moral law is going to disappear. Television evangelists are going to become less important in the future because they will be recognized for who they are: "actors on stage" who have learned to give a good speech!

Amen, Rev. Dr. Davis. Religion is fine, except when it isn't. Christians should stop preaching heresies and blasphemies about homosexuality, as the scriptures addressing it have a CONTEXT. Without it, one "tells the truth while telling lies" (my quote). To understand the “men sleeping with men” (MSWM), and related scriptures, two analogies are helpful: 1. “An ax murder isn’t about the ax.” 2. There’s a “distinction with a difference” between “homosexuality & homosexual,” and, “heterosexuality & heterosexual,” each one. It’s why homosexuals often have children the old-fashioned way (heterosexuality), and incarcerated heterosexuals often have sexual relations with their sex (homosexuality), for example. With context we’d learn: Why heterosexual men are their exclusive focus; why women play a tangential role; why Ancient Greek custom, and Ancient Roman law, condoned male homosexuality under certain conditions; why death was proscribed for practicing it under limited circumstances; why the biblical references to “man’s inhospitality to man” includes heterosexual males illicitly “knowing” men and women (“carnal knowledge”/rape); why the prophets were concerned about homosexuality; why beginning in the 12th century the Roman Catholic Church started falsely teaching that the Sodom & Gomorrah story was about homosexuals; why neither the word ABOMINATION, nor any term as harsh, is in the original Biblical documents, which were written in Classical Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Aramaic and, in its first translation, in Kione Greek. Etc. Understanding those specific scriptures requires knowing something about those languages, the problems of translation, literary devices, the history of sexuality in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and the Ancient Roman World --- the areas in which the anthology of biblical stories take place, and the biological prerogatives of human sexuality. Theologians, ministers, and lay people must do the demanding work to discern truth. With due respect.

Like literally to me they only reject homosexuality and turn it done because everyone else wants them too and because their followers and society frowns upon it and it’s labeled as “uncool & not right” so they have to be against it too because everyone else is against it and no!
