I wrote an article on Gay Salvation from a Biblical Christian Perspective which received some extended comments. One of the more interesting responses was from a reader who informed me that the word “homosexuality” did not appear in Bible translations until 1946, thereby challenging the notion that it was accepted as a sin prior to that time.
The Bible, and its translations from Greek to English, make clear God’s view of homosexuality. However, I fully stand by the key point of my original post. We all sin (Rom. 3:23), though some sins are perhaps more visible than others. However, that makes absolutely no difference to the Lord, who is omniscient. God says that the wages of sin (all sin) is eternal death (Rom. 6:23). From Scripture and from life, we know, our sin nature both precedes salvation AND follows salvation. Fortunately, God’s grace and provision (Rom. 5:8), through Christ, covers over all our sin if we accept Christ as our Savior and Lord (Rom. 10:9).
