Can believers of Jesus Christ assist or promote productions that showcase homosexual acceptance?

I would like to know if the word of God means abstain from all appearance of evil relates to those believers of Jesus Christ who are marketable and beckoned to help in productions that clearly showcase homosexual acceptance. Should they do the production and set aside their religious faith as it is just fictional characters or is their evil intent behind bringing these productions to the mass population... meaning subliminal messages.

Please tell me what happen in Sodom and Gomorrah?

Part I.
Sodom and Gomorrah have been used as metaphors for sinfulness and sexual deviation. The story has therefore given rise to words in several languages, including English: the word "sodomy", meaning acts stigmatized as "unnatural vice".

In Genesis 18, God informs Abraham that he plans to destroy the city of Sodom because of its wickedness. Abraham pleads with God not to destroy Sodom, and God agrees that he would not destroy the city if there were 50 righteous people in it, then 45, then 30, then 20, or even ten righteous people. The Lord's two angels only found one righteous person living in Sodom, Abraham's nephew Lot. Consequently, God destroyed the city.

In the Tanach version, Genesis19:4-5, the final episode in the story of Sodom is described as the angels visit Lot to warn him to flee:

When they had not yet retired, and the people of the city, the people of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, the entire populace from every end [of the city]. And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and let us have relations with them."

Lot refused to give the visiting angels to the inhabitants of Sodom. He offered them his two daughters instead, but the people refused. The men were struck with blindness, allowing Lot and his family, who were then instructed to leave the city, to escape. As they made their escape the angels commanded that Lot and his family not look back under any circumstance. However as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with fire and brimstone by God, Lot's wife looked back longingly at the city, and she was instantly transformed into a pillar of salt.

In Ezekiel 16:48-50 God accuses Jerusalem of being worse than Sodom. He explains that the sin of Sodom was that "She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me."

Part II.
First, "to know" is a Biblical euphemism for sexual behavior. Thus,

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
—Genesis 19:5

, is interpreted as a militant solicitation for homosexual sex. Second, they argue that homosexuality is the "strange flesh" mentioned in the following passage,

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
—Jude 1:7
This view sees the sin of Sodom as being about general malice, xenophobia and inhospitality, and that if "to know" is intended to be a euphemism for sex, it is clearly a case of gang rape.

Thus, "going after strange flesh" may refer to sex with strangers, sex outside of wedlock, or possibly something akin to bestiality[2]
In a sixteenth-century depiction by Lucas Van Leyden, a drunken Lot embraces his daughter while Sodom burns in the distance.

Now this was the sin of Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
—Ezekiel 16:49-50

This idea is paralleled in the Gospels when Jesus compares an inhospitable reception to Sodom:

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
—Matthew 10:14-15
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, THANK YOU DR. GADSDEN, A VERY GOOD EXPLAINATION, I ENJOYED IT.
Leviticus 20:13
13If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Now here is a chapter in the bible homosexual love to use to call Jesus a liar by twisting the word of God into making it their own.

Matthew 19: 10-12
10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there

(It is clear in this chapter that Jesus was referring to the concerns of divorcement,) Now take a look at other verses before verse 10 and 11, 12.
Matthew 19: 7-12
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Now as for the word eunuchs it has a totally different meaning than homosexual
God never say anything about eunuchs with eunuchs meaning homosexual activities stop twisting the word of God making it your own.

Proverbs 3: 5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding
Isaiah 55:8
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

2 Timothy 4:3-4
3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables

1 Timothy 4
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils

Leveticus 18: 22-24
You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion. Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled.

The anus is a delicate mechanism of small muscles that comprise an exit-only passage with repeated trauma friction and stretching the sphincter lose it tone and its ability to maintain a tight seal. Consequently anal sex leads to leakage of fecal material that can easily become chronic.

The potential for injury is exacerbated by the fact that the intestine has only a single layer of cells separating it from highly vascular tissue that is blood. It is much easier to establish infection organisms in feces, and mixing of bodily fluids.

It is clear that there are serious medical consequences to same sex behavior.


Romans 1: 25-29
For 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 recompence 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,

Jude 1:7
Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a
punishment of eternal fire.

Romans 6:23
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
What scriptures do you have to justify your answer. Scripture backs up scripture. There are no contradictions in the word of God. If you think you have found a contradiction, it is not. It is your interpretation of the word of God that is wrong. Scripture must agree. Give me sound scripture that says Homosexuality is an ok lifestyle.
THERE IS NOTHNG IN THESCRIPTURE THAT SAYS HOMOSEXUALITY IS OK!!

13If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Do you know what theorhetical problems you have when you read a book and take it as truth because that book said that what was in it is the truth?  I DO NOT THINK YOU DO.

Well said, my sister.

does the bible not state another reason for the destruction of sodom and gommorah?

 

Ezekiel 16:49-50:

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

 

i guess if you are a saint who sees sex in everything you can see sex in this passage but remember abomination could have been anything  eating prok or shrimp but christians in their preoccupaiton with sex can only see sex.

 

 

Isaiah 1:13a:

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me;

another scripture says they were inhospitable.  i guess some saints would see that as sex.

In a nutshell, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because the people had become terribly evil and had totally turned away from God. They had forsaken Him completely. These long passages tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

My dear Bro., I don't know how you could possibly NOT know any better... except the evil one has blinded you soooooo badly that you're blind in one eye & can't see out of the other! There is no way you can admit that you read & understand the 'english language' and come up with ANYTHING other than what 'we' ('saved folk') have been trying to tell you. You need to read that story again in the 'KJV' bible but this time pray before you read and ask the Lord to reveal to YOU, what He wants you to understand in this text. And you know what, I AM Homophobic and very PROUD of it!!!!!!! We all would do considerably better in life if we weren't afraid to stand up and say "YEA, I'm homophobic and proud of it." There's NOTHING wrong with being so!!! It's NOT a bad thing!!! As a matter of FACT, it's a good thing!!! Who said it had to be a bad thing and that we should be ASHAMED of it??? Not I. Hummm... sounds like 'some people with an agenda' are behind shaming us 'normal' folk into hiding and backing down, and being & saying we're sorry, for being RIGHT!!!!!! Since when did it become BAD to be right??? When did it start being 'WRONG' to be moral??? Now you're gonna question what determines morality? (Let's not go there right now... The bible... hint, hint, hint.) I AM NOT ASHAMED TO BE RIGHT!!! You need to allow the Lord to help you understand this, as it seems to be a problem for you. So let me be the first to say it and start a NEW thing, right here and right now!!! "I'm Homophobic and proud of it!!!" There,... does that make you feel better? It doesn't change the FACT that GOD does NOT like homosexual acts, he doesn't like beastiality, nor a few other things. But that doesn't make it alright to do them either!!! You show me one scripture that says God accepts and likes 'homo' anything other than homosapians, (humankind, aka, mankind). Please reread Romans 1:24-32... I know it's alot, but sometimes ya just gotta read a little longer. Thank you. I pray that God touches your understanding... Brother
Brother, is this reply to me? I think we're on the same page. I agree that homosexualism is an abomination before God. And it should also be an abomination in the sight of man as well. God bless you brother. I do not agree that God don't love homosexuals, but they are on their way to hell. Maybe you should read my last comment again.
I strongly agree,A Phobia will not draw any one to the lord!! The love of Jesus wiill. Iam so sick of Judgemental chruch folk, destroying people before they can even attempt try to know God!!! How can you have a phobia and Gods Love at the same time, Jesus didnt have any predjudice in his heart whats the prob. Chruch folk always knocking down a noticeable vice, but keep the mess so called hidden.! Sin is Sin.Judgeing is not the Love of God.Get over the foolishness!!! When did the chruch stop Become a Hospital? or is just a fashion show,and fake hour?
It is impossible to be a christian but don't ascribe to the whole bible. If you or someone you know is really struggling to get free from homosexuality I say pray! pray! pray! Now if they don't want to be delivered at all, pray and leave them to themselves and let God deal with it because there are people out there who really don't want to be gay and is doing all they can to get free and stay free. It is possible I don't care what the devil says John 8:36 tells me "So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free."

Just the other day I was speaking with someone in my local assembly and he's dealing with an issue about his struggle with homosexuality and I said to him that we see in the bible where dead people were raised, blind people received sight, whores were forgiven, the lame were restored and lepers were cured but never did I see in scripture where Christ delivered a homosexual but just as I said those words the spirit of the Lord dealt with me to go to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,

Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.

And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.

Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Apostle Paul gave hope to the homosexual which is deliverance when he said and such some of you WERE! (past tense) Once we come into contact with Christ there is hope, there is deliverance and his blood is stronger than any stronghold!
