Death Certificates and Counterfeits: Exposing the Hypocrisy of Condemning the Broken.

A message to Believers….

There is a certain kind of blindness that cannot be cured by evidence, reason, or even scripture. It’s not the blindness of ignorance—it’s the blindness of pride. And few things reveal this spiritual condition more clearly than the way many professing Christians treat the topic of same-sex attraction. Not the acts, mind you—but the attraction itself. The mere presence of it, biologically rooted, unchosen, and real. This is where the counterfeit believer often reveals themselves. Not by their theology—but by their condemnation.

So today, we fight on two fronts. The hypothetical and the actual. We must take the battle directly into the heart of religious distortion, where scripture is misused to support pride, not purity. We will dismantle the lies, the double standards, and the false gospel promoted by those who call themselves the moral gatekeepers of the Church—yet cannot even recognize their own sentence of death.

Let us begin with the hypothetical. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that innate, biological (born with) same-sex attraction itself is sin. Not just the actions. Not just the rebellion. But the innate desire—to feel attraction biologically rooted toward the same sex. Suppose we call that sin. What then?

Then the only honest answer is this: We are all born in sin. Same-sex attraction, if we assume it is sinful from birth, is no different than any other aspect of our fallen nature. We are not born neutral. We are not born innocent. We are born broken. We are born with a death sentence sealed onto our DNA. Our birth certificate is our death certificate. And in that case, we must ask:

Who here, bearing their own death certificate, dares to condemn someone else for theirs?

Are we not all guilty under the same law? Are we not all worthy of the same judgment?

“Through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind…” (Romans 5:12 NASB)

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23 NASB)

“For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all.” (James 2:10 NASB)

To condemn someone for being born into sin while ignoring your own sinful origin is not righteousness—it is self-delusion. To use the law to elevate yourself while crushing others is not holiness—it is hypocrisy. If being born biologically inclined toward a certain sin disqualifies you from grace, then grace is no longer grace. And if grace is not extended to all who are broken, then it is extended to none.

Now let us shift to the actual—the factual—the truth as it stands.

Same-sex attraction is not a choice. It is not a lifestyle. It is not a rebellion. It is a condition—one formed through biology, neurochemistry, prenatal development, and the mystery of our fallen condition. It is no more a sin to experience same-sex attraction than it is a sin to feel anger or pride or envy. What matters is not the temptation, but the response.

“For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15 NASB)

Even Jesus was tempted—yet He did not sin. Temptation is not transgression. Inclination is not iniquity.

And yet the counterfeit believer draws no such line. To them, temptation is guilt. Orientation is rebellion. Desire is perversion. They carry the sword of scripture, but not the heart of Christ. They do not see people—they see categories. And they condemn what they do not understand because understanding would require humility, and humility is what they lack most.

They love to call out liars. But let us ask: Do they not lie to themselves?

They lie when they say the law saves. They lie when they pretend righteousness can be inherited through heterosexuality or moralism. They lie when they treat grace as a gated community and not an open invitation.

“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8 NASB)

Self-deception is still deception. And a lie, by their own standard, is a lie—whether told to another or to oneself.

“All liars… their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone…” (Revelation 21:8 NASB)

The counterfeit believer lies daily. They lie by omission. They lie by elevation. They lie by comparison. They lie when they say God hates what they don’t struggle with. They lie when they create a hierarchy of sin and then place themselves conveniently near the bottom.

Now, we must address the consequences.

What is the result of condemning others for the very death certificate you yourself carry? Judgment. Not just in principle—but in eternal form. For those who wield the Law as a sword to cut down others, the Law will turn upon them.

“For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.” (James 2:13 NASB)

“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:37 NASB)

To live by the sword of the Law is to die by it. And those who die by the Law die outside of grace. The Law cannot save. It was never meant to. And to trust in it is to place your hope in the very thing Christ fulfilled and closed.

“For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” (Romans 10:4 NASB)

Now to the counterfeit’s greatest offense: misrepresentation. They present a gospel that excludes. A gospel that restricts access based on orientation rather than obedience. A gospel that turns away those Christ died to redeem. And they will be held accountable.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6 NASB)

God is inclusive. Not of rebellion, but of the broken. He seeks every reason to redeem, not to reject.

And even biologically innate same-sex orientation, when lived within the boundaries of love, fidelity, and union, would not be counted as sexual immorality—because what God sees is the joining.

Moses did not say, “And they shall be married.” He said, “The two shall become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24)

Jesus affirmed this, not with the word for legal marriage, but again, with the same phrase:

“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.” (Matthew 19:6 NASB)

In Hebrew, the word is dabaq—to cling, to cleave, to be joined. In Greek, it is kollao—to glue, to bond, to fuse.

This joining, this fusion, is what defines covenant. Not tradition. Not ceremony. Not approval by men.

And so the ignorance of the counterfeit—who do not study the languages, the context, the deeper meanings—will be judged for what it is: a willful negligence. A reckless misrepresentation of God’s truth.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you…” (Hosea 4:6 NASB)

They have had every chance to learn. But instead, they chose to weaponize ignorance and call it holiness.

Conclusion:

This battle is not against unbelievers. It is against those who claim belief while wielding it as a weapon. The spiritually blind who believe they see. The morally bankrupt who believe they are rich. The counterfeits. We fight not to destroy them—but to expose the lie they serve. Because some are trapped in it. And some are ready to be pulled from the fire.

This is war, yes. But it is also rescue.

And the first step to rescue is revealing the real enemy: not orientation, not temptation, but pride in the place of grace.

We fight for truth. We fight for clarity. We fight so that those who are told they are abominations might come to know they are beloved.
