David and Jonathan were friends; they were soul mates. Jonathan loved David as himself and David’s love for Jonathan was wonderful and passing the love of women. But does this mean, that David and Jonathan were gay and had homosexual feelings for each other? What does the Bible say about the relationship between David and Jonathan, were David and Jonathan lovers?
гомосексуалізм
Before we discuss this matter, let’s look at homosexuality. гомосексуалізм (and homosexual feelings) is caused by a spirit of sexual lust and perversity. When a spirit of lust and perversity is active in the spiritual realm it becomes visible in the natural realm in the lives of people. One of the carnal results of a spirit of lust and perversity is homosexuality. Пам'ятайте, that everything that happens in the spiritual realm becomes visible in the natural realm. When homosexual feelings and lust control a person, you know that an unclean spirit of lust and perversity is active in the spiritual realm.
When a person gives in to these lusts and homosexual feelings, this spirit of sexual lust and perversity shall control the person’s life and shall reign in the spiritual realm. This spirit shall not only control the person but shall affect and try to enter other lives as well.
The more people give into homosexual feelings, the more power will be given to this unclean evil spirit, and the more people become affected and controlled by this spirit.
It’s no wonder that we see an increase in homosexuality worldwide. More and more people come out for their homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgender.
This spirit of lust and perversity controls many lives, including their minds. Через це, many relationships in the Bible are interpreted sexually and perversely, including the relationship between David and Jonathan. But only a perverse mind will change Godly relationships in the Bible into perverse sexual relationships.
A spirit of lust becomes visible in the natural realm
through speech and actions
As discussed in a previous blog post, Що говорить Біблія про гомосексуалізм», when a spirit of sexual lust and perversity controls the mind of a person it becomes visible in the natural realm through a person’s life; through his speech and works.
Look at the way many gay people communicate. Багато разів, their speech contains sexual remarks, sexual jokes, or words with a hidden sexual meaning. Look at the gay pride, гей-журнали, гей-мюзикли, gay movies, television programs or movies that involve homosexuality, the music industry, the fashion industry, тощо. It is all erotic and revolves around sex.
A spirit of sexual lust and perversity controls their lives and that’s why sex controls their mind and their lives. Everything revolves around sex. Але зараз, let’s have a look at David and Jonathan’s friendship and whether David and Jonathan were gay.
The soul of Jonathan was knit with David’s soul
І це сталося, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul (1 Самуїл 18:1)
Jonathan feared the Lord. During a battle with the Philistines, Jonathan trusted in the Lord and believed that God would deliver the Philistines into his hands. Therefore Jonathan left his father and his army, і he went with his armor-bearer to the camp of the Philistines. Jonathan and his armor-bearer went in faith and God indeed delivered the Philistines into his hands.
David also feared the Lord and walked in His will. When Jonathan saw David, Jonathan’s soul was knit with the soul of David. Jonathan loved David as his own soul. He had found a soul mate.
We read that Jonathan’s soul was knit with the soul of David and not his body. Jonathan’s love for David was a friendly brotherly and holy love.
The covenant between David and Jonathan
When Jonathan went with David into the field, Jonathan made a covenant with David and he involved God. Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, because Jonathan loved David as his own soul; як він сам.
Jonathan gave David his robe and his garments (his armor (1 Самуїл 18:3-4). This was a confirmation and a prophetic symbol that the kingship of Saul would not pass on to his son Jonathan, but to David. This has nothing to do with sex, but it has everything to do with brotherly unselfish love.
But if you are controlled by a perverse spirit of sexual lust, then you can indeed interpret this in a perverse unclean manner.
When Jonathan and David said goodbye, they cried and kissed each other (1 Самуїл 20:41). Their kiss was a normal brotherly kiss and not an erotic kiss. It was very normal when two men kissed each other.
Look at Isaac, Laban and Esau, who kissed Jacob. Аарон, who kissed Moses. Look at Samuel, who kissed Saul. Авесалом, who kissed everyone, who came to him (2 Самуїл 15:5). David kissed Barzillai (2 Самуїл 19:39). Jude kissed Jesus. The elders fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him (Акти 20:37).
Jonathan loved David as himself
Люби ближнього свого, як самого себе (Марк 12:31)
Jonathan loved David as a brother, as his own flesh and blood. He loved David as himself. Didn’t Jesus also give us the commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves?
Does this mean, that we should have sexual relationships with our neighbors? Навпаки!
You can meet someone of the same gender, with whom you have a spiritual connection. Someone whom you consider your soul mate. You love that person as your own brother or sister and you will share a lot of things. Sometimes even more than with your own spouse. But does that mean that you have a sexual relationship with that person? Ні, you are just each other’s soul mate and love each other as a brother or sister. It has nothing to do with homosexual feelings or sex.
David’s love for Jonathan was wonderful,
passing the love of women
When David lamented, with his lamentation over Saul and Jonathan, who were both killed during a battle, сказав він:» I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women”.
Так, this should be the proof, according to homosexuals, that David was gay and Jonathan was gay and that David had a homosexual relationship with Jonathan. But that’s a big lie! Because if that was true, then David would also have a homosexual relationship with Saul. Since it is also written: Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives,
David’s love for Jonathan was a godly unselfish brotherly love, that was above the love he had for women. There was nothing unclean about this brotherly love. Only a sexual perverse and поганий розум can turn this into something perverse, статевий, and unclean.
If David would have been gay, shouldn’t David had the same love for Jonathan as David had for women? Але це було не так. David’s brotherly love for Jonathan went above the (статевий) love for women. It was another kind of love, that wasn’t based on carnal sexual lusts, (гомосексуаліст) почуття, і бажань. It was an unselfish brotherly love of the soul

Would Jonathan have a son if he was gay?
Jonathan had a son, який був паралізований; Mephibosheth. Therefore we can conclude that Jonathan also had a wife, with whom he was intimate.
David had many women
David had many women, like i.e. Abigail, Ahinoam, Maacah, Haggith, Abital, Eglah (2 Самуїл 3:2-5), Michal (2 Самуїл 3:13-14), and Bathsheba (2 Самуїл 5:13).
If David was gay, do you think that he would have made any effort to get his wife Michal, Saul’s daughter, back? Would David have married Michal, Jonathan’s sister, and be intimate with her, if David would have had a sexual relationship with Jonathan?
Would David have feelings of lust for Bathsheba,
if David was gay?
If David was indeed gay, would he have had sexual feelings of lust for Bathsheba? Since he was physically attracted to her because he laid with her? When someone is gay, then the person has no sexual feelings of lust for someone of the opposite gender, but only for his own gender.
Therefore if David was a homosexual, David wouldn’t lust after Bathsheba. He only would have looked from his roof, but wouldn’t have done anything. Will the next statement and lie be, that David was a bi-sexual?
If David was gay, wouldn’t God have punished David?
God punished David because David had despised the word of the Lord and did evil in His eyes. David had killed Uriah, by the sword of the Ammonites, and had taken Uriah’s wife and made her his own. This behavior was an abomination to God and that’s why God sent the prophet Nathan to David. Nathan confronted David with the terrible thing he had done.
When David Покаялися, his sin was forgiven and David was not put to death. Проте, because of what David had done and because David had despised the Lord, David’s son would die and the sword would never depart from David’s house. The Lord would raise up evil against David in his own house and God would take David’s wives before his eyes and give them to his neighbor. And that’s exactly what happened.
If God punished David for this deed, wouldn’t God have punished David if David had a homosexual relationship with Jonathan? Wouldn’t God have sentenced David to death according to the law? Since God is very clear in His Word and does according to what He has commanded. Про це написано:
Ти не будеш лежати з людьми, як і з жінкою: це огида (Левіт 18:22)
Не осквернюйте себе нічим із цього: бо всім цим осквернені народи, яких я виганяю перед вами: І земля осквернена: тому Я караю його провину, і сама земля виригує своїх мешканців. Тож ви будете додержувати Моїх постанов та Моїх присудів, і не буде чинити жодної з цих гидот; ані з вашої нації, ні будь-який чужинець, що мешкає між вами: (Бо всі ці гидоти чинили люди землі, які були до вас, і земля осквернена;) Щоб земля не вигнала вас також, коли ви оскверните його, як воно викинуло народи, що були перед вами.
Бо кожен, хто вчинить будь-яку з цих гидот, навіть ті душі, що вчинили їх, будуть винищені з-поміж свого народу. Тому ви будете дотримуватись Моїх постанов, щоб ви не виконували жодного з цих огидних звичаїв, які були скоєні до вас, і щоб ви не осквернилися в ньому: Я Господь Бог ваш (Левіт 18:24-30)
Якщо людина також ляже з людством, як він лежить із жінкою, обидва вчинили гидоту: вони конче будуть забиті; їхня кров буде на них (Левіт 20:13)
Не буде розпусниці з Ізраїлевих дочок, ні содоміт із синів Ізраїля (Deuteronomium 23:17)
Do God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit approve of homosexuality?
Homosexuality was and still is an abomination to God. If it is an abomination to God, it is also an abomination to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus is the Word, who became flesh. Jesus Christ came to do the will of God and gave His life for His will.
Сам я нічого не можу зробити: як я чую, Я суджу: і Мій суд справедливий; бо не шукаю волі Своєї, але воля Отця, що послав Мене (Джон 5:30)
Бо я зійшов із небес, не виконувати Мою власну волю, але воля Того, Хто послав Мене (Джон 6:38)
Я говорю те, що Я бачив у Мого Отця (Джон 8:38)
The acceptance of homosexuality in church originates from a reprobate mind
Факт, that we live in a New Covenant, doesn’t mean that Божа воля has changed. God’s Word stands forever and will never change (Читайте також: Слово Боже врегульоване назавжди).
After the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit testified, through the apostles, that homosexuality and being gay is a sin. The acceptance of homosexuality derives from невірний розум, as we read in the first chapter of the Book of Romans. Since they had rejected God and His Word and didn’t believe and accept His truth, God had given them up to vile affections. And this is still happening today.
З цієї причини Бог віддав їх на поталу: адже навіть їхні жінки змінили природне використання на те, що суперечить природі: А так само і чоловіки, залишаючи природне використання жінки, палали в своїй пожадливості один до одного; чоловіки з чоловіками роблять те, що непристойно, і отримуючи в собі ту відплату за свою помилку, яку вони мали. І навіть як вони не любили зберігати Бога у своєму пізнанні, Бог віддав їх на розпусний розум, робити те, що не зручно (римляни 1:26-28)
Слово говорить, that homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God
Не знайте, що неправедний не успадковує Царство Боже? Не обманювати: Ні блуди, ні ідолопоклонники, ні перелюбники, ні виразний, ні зловмисники себе людством, Ні злодії, ні зажерливий, ні п'яні винні, ні обертовики, ні вимагання, успадкує Царство Боже. І такі були з вас: Але ви миються, але ви освячені, але ви виправдані в ім’я Господа Ісуса, і духом нашого Бога (1 Коринфянам 6:9-11)
The Word of God remains the truth
People can change, twist and interpret the Word from their carnal mind, out of their own knowledge, Висновки, Думки, почуття, емоції, і досвід(с), які часто надихаються злими духами темряви і схвалюють гомосексуалізм. Проте, це нічого не змінює в правді. Тому що правда є, що для Бога, Ісус, і Святого Духа, гомосексуалізм - це гидота і завжди залишатиметься гидотою. Ніщо і ніхто не може цього змінити.
Бог, Ісус Христос; слово, і Святий Дух ніколи не схвалить гомосексуалізм, тому що вони не можуть мати причастя до справ темряви; Гріх.
Ісус Христос вирішив проблему гріха, Щоб кожен, хто вірить у Нього, і стає народжений знову і слідує за Ним, повинні бути викуплені з гріховна природа (Адамічна природа) і повинні панувати над його чи її тілом і над гріхом.
Якби Ісус мав прийти на землю, щоб зруйнувати діла диявола, тоді чому Ісус тепер має схвалювати діла диявола?
Гомосексуалізм є і залишається гріхом. А народжений віруючий буде розрізняти духів, і не буде заплутаний духами темряви. Замість цього, народжений згори віруючий буде правити і мати панування над силами та духами темряви, включаючи дух хтивості та збоченості.
Хіба це не дивно, що всі вірші в Біблії про гомосексуалізм відкидаються, а Божі та святі стосунки в Біблії спотворюються в сексуальні стосунки? Чому це?
Тому що вони засліплені для правди і не хочуть прийняти правду. Тому що правда стикає їх з їхньою поведінкою; їхній гріх, і це не те, чого вони хочуть. Вони не хочуть вмирають своїм тілом, але вони хочуть продовжувати ходити за тілом і годувати свої похоті та бажання. Ось чому вони змінюють і підлаштовують Слово Боже під своє (гомосексуаліст) почуття, похоті, і бажань.
Але Слово завжди залишатиметься істиною і врешті-решт судитиме кожну людину відповідно до її вчинків (Джон 12:48, 1 Петро 4:5, Одкровення 20:12, 15). Слово дуже чітке, і немає виправдання, ні для кого!
Будьте сіллю землі’
