大衛和喬納森是朋友; 他們是靈魂伴侶. 約拿單愛大衛如同愛自己，而大衛對約拿單的愛是美好的，超越了女人的愛. 但這是否意味著, 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?
同性戀
Before we discuss this matter, let’s look at homosexuality. 同性戀 (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. 記住, 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. 正因為如此, 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, 聖經對同性戀有什麼看法」, 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. 很多次, their speech contains sexual remarks, sexual jokes, or words with a hidden sexual meaning. Look at the gay pride, 同性戀雜誌, 同性戀音樂劇, gay movies, television programs or movies that involve homosexuality, the music industry, the fashion industry, ETC. 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. 但現在, 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
它發生了, 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 撒母耳 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, 和 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; 作為他自己.
Jonathan gave David his robe and his garments (his armor (1 撒母耳 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 撒母耳 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. 亞倫, who kissed Moses. Look at Samuel, who kissed Saul. 押沙龍, who kissed everyone, who came to him (2 撒母耳 15:5). David kissed Barzillai (2 撒母耳 19:39). Jude kissed Jesus. The elders fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him (使徒行傳 20:37).
Jonathan loved David as himself
你要愛你的鄰居 (馬克 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? 相反!
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? 不, 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, 他說:」 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”.
所以, 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 卑鄙的頭腦 can turn this into something perverse, 性的, 和不潔淨的.
If David would have been gay, shouldn’t David had the same love for Jonathan as David had for women? 但事實並非如此. David’s brotherly love for Jonathan went above the (性的) love for women. It was another kind of love, that wasn’t based on carnal sexual lusts, (同性戀) 感情, 和慾望. It was an unselfish brotherly love of the soul
大衛和喬納森是同性戀嗎?
Would Jonathan have a son if he was gay?
Jonathan had a son, who was paralyzed; 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 撒母耳 3:2-5), Michal (2 撒母耳 3:13-14), and Bathsheba (2 撒母耳 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 悔改, his sin was forgiven and David was not put to death. 然而, 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. 它寫了:
你不願意與人類謊言, 就像女人一樣: 這是可憎的 (利未記 18:22)
不要在這些事情中de污: 因為在所有這些國家都被de污了我在你面前拋棄: 土地被de污: 因此，我確實訪問了它的罪孽, 土地本身嘔吐了她的居民. 因此，你們應遵守我的法規和判斷, 並且不得提出這些憎惡; 你自己的國家都不, 沒有任何陌生人: (對於所有這些可憎的人都有土地的人, 那是在你面前, 土地被de污;) 那個土地雜亂也不是你也, 當你們de污時, 因為它凸顯了你面前的國家.
因為任何人都應犯任何這些憎惡, 即使是犯下他們的靈魂也應與他們的人民之間的隔離. 因此，你們要保留我的條例, 你們犯了這些可惡的習俗中的任何一個, 是在你面前犯下的, 你們不是自己: 我是你的上帝 (利未記 18:24-30)
如果一個男人也與人類撒謊, 當他和一個女人一起撒謊, 他們倆都犯下了可憎的: 他們肯定會被處死; 他們的血將在他們身上 (利未記 20:13)
不得有以色列女兒的妓女, 也不是以色列兒子 (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.
我自己可以自己什麼都不做: 正如我所聽到的, 我評判: 我的判斷只是; 因為我沒有我自己的意志, 但是父親的旨意寄給了我 (約翰 5:30)
因為我從天堂下來, 不做我自己的意志, 但是他的旨意賦予我 (約翰 6:38)
我說的是我和父親見過的 (約翰 8:38)
The acceptance of homosexuality in church originates from a reprobate mind
事實, that we live in a New Covenant, doesn’t mean that 上帝的旨意 has changed. God’s Word stands forever and will never change (另請閱讀: 神的話永遠確定).
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 一個頑固的頭腦, 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.
因為這個原因，上帝將他們放棄了邪惡的感情: 因為即使女性的確確實將自然使用變成了反對自然的用途: 同樣也是男人, 離開女人的自然使用, 燒在他們對彼此的慾望中; 男人與男人一起工作，這是不可能的, 並接受自己的錯誤補償. 即使他們不喜歡在他們的知識中保留上帝, 上帝把他們交給了一個卑鄙的思想, 做那些不方便的事情 (羅馬書 1:26-28)
聖經說, that homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God
知道你們不是不義的，不得繼承上帝的王國? 不要被欺騙: 兩頭像形者都不是, 也不是偶像崇拜者, 也不是通姦者, 也不是出現的, 也不是與人類的虐待者, 也不是小偷, 不可垂涎, 也不醉, 也不是複興者, 也沒有勒索者, 將繼承上帝的王國. 你們中的一些人也是如此: 但你們已經被洗淨了, 但是你們是成聖的, 但你們奉主耶穌的名義了, 憑著我們上帝的靈 (1 哥林多前書 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, 發現, 意見, 感情, 情緒, 和經驗(s), which are often inspired by the evil spirits of darkness and approve homosexuality. 然而, it doesn’t change a thing about the truth. 因為事實是, that for God, 耶穌, 和聖靈, homosexuality is an abomination and will always remain an abomination. Nothing and nobody can change that.
上帝, 上帝啊; 這個單字, and the Holy Spirit will never approve of homosexuality because They can’t have communion with the works of darkness; 罪.
Jesus Christ has dealt with the sin problem, 以便大家, 誰相信他, 並成為 重生 和 跟隨他, shall be redeemed from the sin nature (Adamic nature) and shall rule over his or her flesh and over sin.
If Jesus had to come to earth to destroy the works of the devil, then why should Jesus now approve the works of the devil?
Homosexuality is and remains a sin. 一個 隨著出生的信徒 shall discern the spirits, and shall not be entangled with the spirits of darkness. 反而, a born-again believer shall rule and have dominion over the powers and spirits of darkness, including a spirit of lust and perversity.
Isn’t it weird, that all the scriptures in the Bible about homosexuality are being rejected and that Godly and holy relationships in the Bible are being perverted into sexual relationships? 這是為什麼?
Because they are blinded for the truth and they are not willing to accept the truth. Because the truth confronts them with their behavior; their sin and that’s not what they want. 他們不想 die to their flesh, but they want to keep walking after the flesh and feed their lusts and desires. That’s why they change and adjust the Word of God to their (同性戀) 感情, 私慾, 和慾望.
But the Word will always remain the truth and shall eventually judge every person according to his or her works (約翰 12:48, 1 彼得 4:5, 啟示 20:12, 15). The Word is very clear and there is not an excuse, for no one!
