Was Jesus A Homosexual?

My father has always had an alarming delivery when preaching.  When ROLWIM did a crusade in Kenya, my dad was up preaching and I heard him say, “I have some news for you.  This news is going to be shocking.”  I waited for the punchline. Although I hadn’t heard him preach for YEARS, I knew something interesting was on the menu.  He then stated, “Jesus had to be a homosexual.”  The world could have frozen at that point, because I wanted to see how he was going to work the Word with this proclamation.   HTSmith knows foundation well enough to preach truth.

Well, Theo Smith went on to explain redemption and the true work of Christ as our Mediator.  By the time He was finished ministering, the people demonstrated they had an experience in a new and greater way than ever before.  Sometimes, we need to be reminded that Christ willingly agreed to take on the guilt and shame associated with ALL sin-not just homosexuality-so that we can all have access to God.  When I sat in that beautiful African heat and heard that message, it did something for me.  It reminded me of how far Christ went for all of us to be free.  It reminded me of the fact and truth that God ultimately wanted access for ALL of his children.  Even homosexuals.

How do we reach people whose lifestyle our Word tells us is one of sin, yet they are in a culture that legally protects it?  The same way Jesus reached sinners.  Let me be quite frank.  I’ve read the Bible several times from beginning to end and been preaching for over a decade.  I have failed to find any scripture or doctrine in the Word of God, where Jesus or his apostles tell sinners:  You have a wicked spirit, your thoughts about your life are a lie, the devil is lying to you, you are bound by the devil and God will never accept you this way, and then quote the law or the scriptures, with an “enough said” or “you can take it or leave it cause this is real truth” attitude.

What has this Kingdom quest come to?

People with a voice and message ought to have enough power to carry the message of true deliverance and cast the devil out, see people healed in their shadows, see people healed who touch the hem of holy garments, see true transformation because they have spoken a life-transforming Word, or see the result of intercessions.  Jesus presented HIMSELF to those who followed Him, and to those who rejected Him.  He didn’t present a message of why you won’t fit as you are to the unbeliever or the one who thought she knew Him, but didn’t recognize Him in His fulness as Christ the Messiah.

What I have found in Jesus’ ministry is the message of LOVE issued with a call to repentance because God’s Kingdom is coming.  The message of repentance was not:  REPENT cause I hate sin and am sick of you sinners.  How is it, that we have all of this Holy Ghost and don’t have discernment or study the Word to see Jesus’s ministry as it was?  The call to repentance came to let all men know that there is a severing from the world system and the way of the world, in sin because Jesus had come to establish God’s Kingdom rule in the earth, which is not like the kingdoms of this world.  For any to be part of this Kingdom, all men must choose to believe in Jesus as the Messiah and denounce sin, bondage, the way of the world and TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE THAT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY GOD FOR HIS OWN in the Kingdom of God.  Jesus is Lord of the Kingdom and His rule and reign, and ours right alongside Him, is eternal.

I exhort all Bible teachers and preachers to find out what the messages of the Kingdom of God means.  We are so armed with the truth, that we have weapons that we don’t know how to use.  Should we kill when we are supposed to breed LIFE?  That’s something to think about.  Sin was overcome through Jesus and now there’s a work to do.  This is the message of REPENT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND (has come).  It’s funny how God has all of this love and mercy for lifetime “whores”, “fornicators”, “liars”, “cheaters”, “self-righteous”, and the list goes on.  God’s grace covers us until we get to a point when we are trusted with an assignment in leadership.  Yet, when it comes to homosexuals, His grace turns into a message of you won’t inherit the Kingdom?  The fact is the sinner won’t inherit the Kingdom.  Where does the self-righteous fall in this resolve?  Is this the message Jesus used to win the lost?  “You weren’t made like this!  You won’t inherit the Kingdom!”

I’ve heard to many people denounce former homosexuals who are now in ministry, but are still in a so-called “struggle” with their own area of sin.  Hypocrisy isn’t cute any day of the week.  Here’s another thought:  Why not sit down and find out what Jesus said?  How can the carnal man hear anything except he first be won to Christ?  If this message is to bring correction to the unrepentant Christian, does the scriptural models have the apostles with bullhorns speaking to any and everybody that will hear?  NO.  The church is the audience.  Furthermore, Biblical correction is by whom?  From church leadership to not just the one who needs correction, but to the fellowship so that they will all fear.

Godly sorrow and repentance has a tone.  IT is not one of judgment and condemnation.  It is one that leads to acknowledgement of sin and conviction.  I have sat in many holiness and deliverance-type services where these “you’re nasty, lesbos, she/he’s, and lying devils” type lingo is applauded.  “It’s tight but it’s right.”  Really?  With Christ our Mediator who died for them just as He did for the self-righteous soul who won’t fall on his face and ask God to renew his spirit and teach me how to win people for you?  It’s tight and it’s destructive.

Let me be real transparent.  One of my former pastors (he wasn’t the senior pastor) busted me up one day.  He bought me a book on compassion which I didn’t read for months.  But, when he gave it to me, he told me something that changed my life and has made me one who God can send anywhere in this world.  He told me you have the truth.  But the truth outside of compassion is deadly.  He said so much more, and I was hot as all get up, because the situation I went bezerk over was WRONG.  Godly correction helped me to become a better person and preacher.

It is something when we’d rather argue and fight, rather than PRAY.  God just might deal with us and show us His way.  Jonah didn’t want to go to Ninevah because he knew if he went with a message of judgment, judgment would likely bring on repentance.  He didn’t want the Ninevites to be part of God’s grace because they were wicked and harmed God’s people in the most vicious ways.  Some of the merciless massacres and pillages we see of the  human race today do not compare to what the Ninevites did to Israel.  Yet, once the prophet went with the message of repentance, there was the biggest Old Testament revival on record.  Although the nation was destroyed approximately 100 years later, that generation that heard the prophetic word of judgment, repented.  Jonah’s message wasn’t, “God didn’t make you like this you people who have a wicked spirit and devil tormenting you.  Stop lying on God.”  This present day nonsense has to stop.  The Holy Spirit’s voice is not that voice.  His voice is silenced when we override it with zeal, without knowledge.

There are people in the pulpit-and in the pews-who need to deal with our reality and how we grieve God’s Holy Spirit.  Sin is sin.  Self-righteousness is no more favorable than homosexuality and pimping pastors.  To all of my colleagues in the gospel, I pray that we do what we’ve been called to do.  Let the Word of God be our guide, not a youtube video or what everyone else is doing.  Sin has no place in the body of Christ.  That is why we are no longer bound to the law of sin and death, through this new and better covenant.  Strong correction in order and in love is necessary for the believer.  The message of salvation is in order for the sinner.  How is it that we have all of these “raised up voices crying aloud and sparing not” who do not know the message of salvation? Salvation is not damnation;  When salvation is bred in the heart of man, he is not condemned but SAVED.  Can we practice that in our mirrors at home first, before we continue to ruin and discourage people who are bound and need SALVATION, not a picture of their impending damnation?  The enemy is real but the power of God unto salvation is real and guess what?  It saves people from the snare and strategies of the enemy.  People won’t hear if they are so offended and disgusting as they are invited to come to an angry judging God as represented by his “pull ups” wearing messengers who need to go back to the basics and get God’s heart;  it’s time to stop killing people with Words and see demonstration with power, healing, signs, wonders and miracles.

Years ago, I was at a major conference where a “prophet” spoke about glutonny with such a nasty tone that for HOURS after the service was over, an extremely obese person in attendance would not move from the seat.  That person was SO embarrased that they didn’t want to move.  God’s love doesn’t do that.  Oh well, that’s the truth and he spoke the truth!  Zeal, without knowledge is tantamount to foolishness.  Check the book of Proverbs.  There is a way to let people know where they are and incite them to believe God enough to let fellowship with Him bring about CHANGE.  Had that prophet empowered people with the Word about why our temples need to be in shape, and that our bodies are our temple, and that there is a way to change, people would have received help, not HARM from an unbridled trumpeteer.

I preached a message at the New Year about Biblical judgment.  Don’t answer the call to speak judgment unless you know what God does in judgment.  So many people will read this blog and keep on with their destructive ways and find out when hell hits their own home and lives, what God does in judgment.  God’s church is alive and WELL.  Yes it is.  JESUS said He was building HIS church, and the gates of hell would not prevail against the church.  Guess what that means?  Follow Jesus’ plan according to HIS WORD.  In doing so, what needs to be purged will be purged.  What needs to be corrected, will be corrected, in ORDER, LOVE and JUDGMENT.

The Word of God assures us, that God’s church is without spot or wrinkle.  Our message of true Godly repentance is all that is needed.  Then teach the Word to empower believers for effective Christian living.  We are one body, waiting until the Lord returns with a chosen leadership who should obey our Biblical mandate to have governmental rule in the Body and uphold the banner of righteousness.

For everyone with a bullhorn, please make sure your voice is God’s voice.  Homosexuals were created by God just like the rest of us.  God said that He is willing that none should perish, but that all men should come to repentence.  Let’s talk His talk in His tone with His message in His love.  That is what brings on repentance and fellowship with God.  What is common with all of us that have come to Christ?  We want to be in His likeness and image, which we were made in.  We take of the old man and put on the new man.

The Lord has used me to reach all kinds of people.  By the way, it is interesting that we don’t necessarily process people as oh yea, here’s a fornicator on the left, and a gossiper on the right.  But, that’s another blog post.  I have success with homosexuals because I ask God to show me how to reach them.  Give me the message for this person who is before me.  Why?  Because God knows each one of us.  He created us, and loves us whether we CHOOSE to sleep with a pillow, or the same sex.  HE desires that we know HIM.  That is ANY minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ job.  When you humble yourself to ask, you’ll find that God will take the time to answer.

Was Jesus a homosexual?  When He bore the sin of the world for all man for all time so that as many as will hear his voice will be saved, He identifed with every single Homosexual in this world, so that He could make the offering for them, make the way for them, and change them when they are washed with the Word of Truth.

I know this post was LONG.  However, so is eternal damnation and eternal LIFE.  It’s time for us to get our focus straight so we can be effective in our assignments to win people for the Kingdom of God.

Selah.
