Yahweh’s declaration of righteous and unrighteous behavior. They must profess that homosexual
intercourse is unnatural, immoral, and sinful behavior.

• The lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individual must then turn away from their
sinful behavior.

II Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and
turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin...

Isaiah 1:16-20
“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease
to do evil, learn to do good... Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh, “Though
your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they will
be like wool. If you consent and obey, you will eat the best of the land; But if you refuse and
rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” Truly, the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.

Isaiah 55:7
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to
Yahweh, and He will have compassion on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Ezekiel 18:21-23
“But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My
statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. All his
transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his
righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. Do I have any pleasure in the death of the
wicked,” declares Yahweh God, “rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?”

People of God, it is not necessary to identify all the influences and experiences that led a person
to embrace a false gender identity, or to engage in homosexual behavior. The influences in a
person’s life are varied, and many, and it is unlikely that they could all be properly identified. Do
not be deterred by this fact. What is important is that the individual agree with Yahweh that their
behavior is sinful, that they confess it, and turn away from it. Yahweh will accept those who
confess and repent (turn away from their sin).
