INQUIRER: Is being a lesbian or gay a sin?

BRO. ELI F. SORIANO (EFS): If you were born a lesbian or gay, you were born gay, why would it be your sin if you were born like that? There are gays who don't want to be gay, so they strive to become men. One got married! When he got married, he had a child. But...

INQUIRER: Wait, it is not written in the Bible that the lesbians and gays were born.

EFS: It is in the Bible, sister. Don't tell me that it is not written in the Bible. It is written. It seems that you are wiser than the Bible. And if you're really knowledgeable of the Bible, do not ask me anymore. Do not tell me that it is not written in the Bible. You are wrong.

INQUIRER: Where is it written?

EFS: I am answering you; I'm not yet through, sister. You know, in the Bible, answering before listening is a folly to God. Listen first. You asked a question, let me finish with my answer. So, you would know if what I will answer is in the Bible or not. I will mention the verses anyway. But for you to judge, you object me readily that lesbian and gays were not born that way, we will have a debate then. Let us look it up first. In the Bible, from whom did all men come? Let us read Genesis 3:20 -

BRO. DANIEL S. RAZON (DSR): "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."

EFS: Who is the mother of all living? Eve. Let us ask, are lesbians and gays living? They are living! Who begot them? From Eve, from the generation of Eve. Not because they are lesbians or gays do they just spring up beside a coconut tree. They were also conceived. All men born in the world were begotten by Eve. They came from the generation of Eve. So, the lesbians and gays were born in the world. That's why they are called - I told you that it is in the Bible - I Corinthians 6:9-11 -

DSR: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,"

EFS: What is an effeminate? Isn't it a man who dresses up like a woman, who wears jewelries, wears lipstick?

EFS: How do we call them in another term?

GUESTS: Gays! 

EFS: Are gays in the Bible or not? GUESTS: They are in the Bible. They are effeminate. What else? "...nor abusers of themselves with mankind," Isn't that gay? Let us ponder, that is in the Bible. Are lesbians also written in the Bible? Listen to Romans 1:26-27 -

DSR:  "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: And 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."

EFS: That is the truth, it is in the Bible. They changed the natural use into that which is against nature, "...men with men working that which is unseemly," The same with women. So, there are lesbians and gays in the Bible. All men in the world came from Eve and Adam. Are there gays? There are. Are there lesbians? There are. Were they begotten or not? They were begotten. Is it in the Bible? It is in the Bible. So, your judgment that it is not in the Bible is wrong. Those are all in the Bible. Now, your question is -do lesbians and gays have salvation? God wants all men to be saved. I Timothy 2:4 -

DSR: "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 

EFS: God wants all men to be saved. Is there a man whom He wants to perish? II Peter 3:9 -

DSR: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

EFS: See that, God doesn't want anyone to perish. That is very clear. He doesn't want anyone to perish. Lesbian or gay, if you obey God, you changed your way of life, you repented, you will not transgress the law, you have salvation. In fact, the effeminate, the abusers of themselves with mankind, in Corinth, Saint Paul said, "...but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." That's what happened to those people. So, no matter how evil a person is, whatever his condition is, he is bisexual or anything else, so long as he turns back to God and changes his life and does not commit iniquity, he will be saved. That is stated in the Bible, sister.
