I was in the homosexual lifestyle for so many decades since
I was a teen-ager.Then I came to know our Lord Jesus Christ
as my God and Saviour, I repented and I turned away from
homosexuality. Now I realize since I started reading and
studying the Bible that homosexuality indeed is the lowest
form of depravity and an abomination before God. And God
is changing me from inside to outside, now when I look at
homosexuality there is this kind of disgust within me and
I don’t even want to go to places where homosexuality is
rampant. I thank God for the salvation.

Great discussion.

Gary,
In your faith>law comment there might be some confusion. Abraham’s faith and Moses’ faith was the same. As I’ve been explaining to my congregants, Leviticus comes after Exodus. In Exodus God has delighted to rescue his son and shed the blood of lambs and Egyptians for their salvation. The call of Leviticus is the call to sanctifcation by faith in light of salvation by faith. The obedient faith of Israelites (demonstrated by putting blood on the doorposts) received the gift of salvation from the Death Angel. The law was given for their sanctification not justification.

Keep up reading Leviticus as it is quite rewarding. Every wednesday I study Leviticus with university students right in the middle of a cafe where lesbians are kissing and people are doing homework. It is God’s gracious word and shows his desire to make all this new by first making his people unique, holy, and a servant to the nations surrounding them plunged in slavery to sin.

One way that helps me get through most of the old testament is read while your listen to it. Go to esv.org and read while you listen. For those who don’t want to read the bible in front of the computer, follow these instruction provided on the ESV blog to download to your iPod: http://www.esv.org/blog/2009/02/memorizing.scripture.with.your.ipod

These are helpful pointers, Julian, especially, I think,your third one. I have been blessed and instructed way beyond what I ever imagined as I’ve read, for the first time ever, through Genesis, Exodus and now Leviticus. God’s Word is great!
