Grafted into Israel

This letter is for the Homosexuals who feel that it is still okay to be gay after accepting Jesus.  From here on out you will see me replace the name of Jesus with Yeshua, Yahshua or Y'shua because I am calling the Messiah of Israel by His real Hebrew name that was given to Him.

This letter is not intended to promote hate or to make you feel that God hates you, but I am merely presenting the word of God Biblically to you and what you feel afterwards will depend on how you accept the word of God.  

Homosexuality has been around since the time of Genesis all the way up to our time today.  Again here we see that what happened in the past is happening again in our time and increasing in numbers.  Many homosexuals in our time say that it's okay because they have accepted Jesus and He died on the cross so the laws was done away with and we are now free from the laws and God is a God of Love and He is a forever forgiving God.  

If you have read my teaching on the Everlasting Covenant then you will know that these acts of Homosexuality is contradicting to what God's will is for His Bride Israel.  We have to keep in mind that God is never changing and God cannot Change His mind, so this means that Yeshua did not come to do away with the commandments of God.  This has been misunderstood by many Christian Pastors and Christian Teachers because of lack of understanding in the Hebrew perspective the Covenant with Israel and why it cannot be broken by God. 

Please consider this, if God feels that it is okay for people to be a homosexual or a lesbian, then why did God have to destroy Sodom and Gomorah?  Some of you will say well this is why Yeshua came to die on the cross for our sins.  If this is your doctrine then you need to also consider then why did the Apostles condemned this in the Brit Hadasha (New Testament).  

1 Timothy 1:8 - 10

8 We know that the Torah is good, provided one uses it in the way the Torah itself intends. 9 We are aware thatTorah is not for a person who is righteous, but for those who are heedless of Torah and rebellious, ungodly and sinful, wicked and worldly, for people who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 the sexually immoral ? both heterosexual and homosexual ? slave dealers, liars, perjurers, and anyone who acts contrary to the sound teaching.  Rom 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."  Remember in the beginning God made woman for man and not man for man or woman for woman, but it is woman for man and as it says in Genesis 2:24 For this man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they will become one flesh. Wife in this passage is referring to woman as it says in the beginning that Eve was a woman and was made for Adam and therefore God did not make man for man or woman for woman but woman for man so that he will not be alone. Complete Jewish Bible

Revelation 22:14,15

14 How blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they have the right to eat from the Tree of Life and go through the gates into the city! 15 Outside are the homosexuals, those involved with the occult and with drugs, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 

In most translations in verse 15 would read "outside are dogs" rather than homosexuals because "dog" was a slang used for prostitutes and pedophiles and anyone that has sex of the same gender such as a woman with a woman or man with a man and in our modern day definition for that is homosexuality. 

The places where the English word "homosexual" occurs in the Bible are found in two verses:
 

• 1 Cor. 6:9, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." (NASB, ESV, NIV, )

• 1 Tim. 1:10, "realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." (NASB, ESV)

In Each case, the Greek word used for 'homosexual' is ἀρσενοκοίτης, arsenokoites. Here is what it means according to Greek dictionaries:

• ἀρσενοκοίτης arsenokoítēs; gen. arsenokoítou, masc. noun, from ársēn (730), a male, and koítē (2845), a bed. A man who lies in bed with another male, a homosexual (1　Cor. 6:9; 1　Tim. 1:10 [cf. Lev. 18:22; Rom. 1:27]). Zodhiates, S. (2000). The complete word study dictionary : New Testament (electronic ed.). Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers.

• 88.280 ἀρσενοκοίτης, ου m: a male partner in homosexual intercourse--‘homosexual.’ οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι . . . οὔτε μοιχοὶ οὔτε μαλακοὶ οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται . . . βασιλείαν θεοῦ κληρονομήσουσιν ‘don’t you know that . . . no adulterers or homosexuals . . . will receive the kingdom of God’ 1 Cor 6:9–10. It is possible that ἀρσενοκοίτης in certain contexts refers to the active male partner in homosexual intercourse in contrast with μαλακόςb, the passive male partner (88.281).  Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996). Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament : Based on semantic domains (electronic ed. of the 2nd edition.). New York: United Bible Societies.

• ἀρσενοκοίτης (arsenokoitēs), ου (ou), ὁ (ho): n.masc.; ≡ Str 733--LN 88.280 male homosexual, one who takes the active male role in homosexual intercourse (1Co 6:9), specifically interpreted as male homosexual paedophilia (nab footnote); possibly a more generic term in first Timothy; sodomites (rsv, nrsv, nkjv), perverts (niv, neb, reb), practicing homosexuals (nab), homosexual (njb), (1Ti 1:10+), note: translations possibly use certain specific terms to infer or allow certain theologies.  Swanson, J. (1997). Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains : Greek (New Testament) (electronic ed.). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc.

• ἀρσενοκοίτης, ου, ὁ an adult male who practices sexual intercourse with another adult male or a boy homosexual, sodomite, pederast    Friberg, T., Friberg, B., & Miller, N. F. (2000). Vol. 4: Analytical lexicon of the Greek New Testament. Baker's Greek New Testament library. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Baker Books.

It is best to use an English word that accurately portrays the original.  Since a new and more accurate word had entered the English vocabulary, it became the word of choice. Let's take a look at the Merriam-Webster dictionary, 11th ed. Springfield, Mass, 2003:

• ho•mo•sex•u•al \ˌhō-mə-ˈsek-sh(ə-)wəl, -ˈsek-shəl\ adj 1892 1: of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex 2: of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex--ho•mo•sex•u•al•ly adv

 

Therefore, it is easy to see why the word "homosexual" was not used until later English translations.  Once a more accurate English word existed, it was matched to the corresponding Greek word.  Homosexuality is still a sin according to the Bible.

Regardless of how the letters of the Apostles (New Testament) was translated, the word of God has more authority in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures (Tanach). Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death." This clearly means that anyone having sex with the same gender is an abomination and is detestable in the eyes of God. 

This doctrine that it is okay to be a homosexual or a Lesbian is not Kosher, it is because of lack of understanding of who God is and what His son's main purpose was as a Messiah to His people Israel and that is to bring the Israelites back to God's covenant and to graft the Nations (foreigners) in to also become God's Holy people Israel. Exodus 19:5-6  Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.
